Wow! Such a good movie.
Simply Perfect
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
This movie was terrible. Awful. It's like they took off the shelf Hallmark Christmas movie plot points and tried to stir them together. As long as they are in the movie, they count? Real Santa pretending to be a fake Santa...check. Small town...check. Love interest from back home...check. High profile job in big city...check. Daughter of somebody...check. Aunt/Mom who runs a diner...check. But it didn't work, and it shows.This apparently was Mariah Carey's directorial debut - and it shows. She was mostly in fuzzy head shots making me think she not on set and they shot all her individual TV moments on a separate day.Why Santa decides to be a janitor and call himself "Thomas" instead of the usual "Nick" is beyond me. The acting, dialog, pacing, and everything was just bad, not even cheesy, just bad. The only person I liked was the guy who plays the host in UnReal.
Enjoyed this movie, of course typical Hallmark fare. At first, I thought this was Mariah Carey's acting debut, but according to the Comcast program guide, she has done two others. One she flopped,the other did apparently very well. It seemed like she was so intent on directing herself, with the many spotlighted close- ups that her acting fell flat in this movie. The real star of the movie was Fina Strazza who played nine year old Emily Parson.
Lacey Chabert is fine in the lead but Brennan Elliot and the daughter make this film good. He plays a very likable character. It is worth watching. Placing Lacey Chabert with a daughter was helpful to her character and acting.The film is directed by Mariah Carey and she plays a small part in the film. She plays a character you will not like. I didn't notice any of her songs in the movie. The story line listed in IMDb was completely wrong- so I submitted a new one. It is about a widow reluctantly returning to her home town with her daughter and not wanting to leave. The one that was listed says "A gift of music transports people back to another time and place where they find their truest feelings." That is not this movie.Now I have seen all six of Lacey Chabert Christmas movies. This is probably the second best. A Wish for Christmas-2016 was the best.
Don't get me wrong, I love all Christmas shows, Mariah Carey and Lacey Chabert, but the closeups of Mariah were starting to freak me out. Was she pregnant while filming? That might make sense. Aside from the freaky head shots, I enjoyed this show.I've followed Lacey in many, if not all, of the movies she has made for Hallmark and have enjoyed every one of them. Mariah's music worked well in this movie and it didn't disappoint. The young girl who played Emily was a cutie. I can't wait to see more of her on Hallmark in the future.Although, the plots are the same on the Christmas shows, I don't mind and will continue watching the Hallmark channel for years to come.
