Watch 12 Men of Christmas For Free

Sorry, this movie sucks

Simply Perfect

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

This movie is predictable and forgettable, a Christmas rom-com that ends happily ever after before barely grazing the surface of the leads' potential character arcs. Not that I am convinced either of the lead actors was capable of greater depth, but the script didn't give them any room to try. The secondaries were reasonably attractive and warm and human, but didn't get much in the way of lines or focus.The reasons to watch:1. Breathtaking mountain scenery 2. The photo shoot montage is excellent eye candy with humour attached 3. The mid-plot mutual-loathing confession of attraction that's a blatant ripoff from Pride & Prejudice but done in language far less polite.4. The nod to the very real issue of cash-strapped Search and Rescue services, staffed by volunteers and relying often on borrowed or out-dated equipment, who manage at tremendous risk to life, limb, and family/romance to bring most people home most of the time from the wildernesses they've wandered into.It's a 6 for those 4 reasons. Otherwise, it might be a 3.

Okay this is a typical Christmas time movie. It is cutesie of course but still good. A New York super advertising woman finds her man going to town with the boss. At least the boss is a female. So she quits her job, can't find another one for months. Then a small time job opens up in a small town in Montana. Her job is to put this small town on the corporate map as a destination place for retreats. To get this done she hits on the tried and true semi-nude calendar using the regular everyday men of the local search and rescue squad. She calls in a big time photographer and the shoot takes place. It turns out very well, sales take off and so the squad gets its new equipment. A side light of this film is the relationship between the New Yorker and the local stud. It is detestation at first meeting that eventually develops into the inevitable, tis' the season, love affair. Like I said it is cutesie but I liked it.

12 Men of Christmas is a romantic comedy television film made for the Lifetime Television network. The TV movie stars Kristin Chenoweth together with Anna Chlumsky,Aaron Abrams and Peter Mooney.It was directed by Arlene Sanford.It is based on the novel Decent Exposure by Phillipa Ashley about a publicist and life-long New Yorker that loses her both her fiancée and her job on the night of her holiday work party and then decides to retreat to Montana.The story is about E.J. Baxter,who is a headstrong and popular New York City publicist. She seemingly has the "perfect life": a beautiful condo, a loving fiancée, a great job, and an excellent boss. But E.J.'s world takes a turn for the worst when she catches her fiancée Noah having an affair with her boss Lillah at the office Christmas party. Resulting in E.J. breaking off her engagement with Noah.Now, having no one to spend Christmas or New Years with E.J. starts to look for a new job, though with Lillah account black balling her all over the city, E.J. has no one else to turn to except her sister Roz. Feeling sympathy for her, Roz pushes E.J. to take up a job offer in Kalispell, Montana to lure corporate retreats for a year.Upon arriving, E.J. is extremely disappointed to find that her "job" is working at a travel agency bureau with no secretaries or office, except her cheerful co-worker Jan Lucas. Upon working, Jan invites E.J. to the town's barbecue where they raise money for equipment for the Kalispell Search & Rescue team. To show respect E.J. reluctantly goes and meets Dr. Marci Hempel and Eric, members of the search and rescue team. Marci tells E.J. that they raise money by holding various events,pancake breakfasts, bake sales, etc. and if they don't raise enough money all of the tourists will go to more popular destinations such as Aspen.Thanks to a sizable lack of funds, the Kalispell search and rescue team is in danger of being disbanded. Recognizing that the guys on the team are all bona fide hunks, E.J. works alongside her new colleague Jan to produce a Christmas calendar that will make the ladies of Kalispell swoon. Unfortunately for E.J., the men in Kalispell aren't too enthusiastic about the idea. If she can just convince them that it's all in good fun and land the perfect Mr. December, however, E.J.'s sexy calendar is sure to sell like hotcakes.Will she go back to New York after this activity or will she find happiness in Montana and stay there forever?The performance of Chenoweth uplifts this film from a predictable, unoriginal and clichéd Christmas love story.She makes it interesting and highly entertaining.The other actors/actresses in the TV movie were decent though.As for the story of the movie,the concept of having a Christmas calender was pretty funny for it had some good moments.Also,the character development of E.J. was a good presentation.But unfortunately,the other supporting characters served nothing but only decorations in the background.But nevertheless,12 Men of Christmas is still a guilty pleasure for a viewer if high expectations aren't being required for satisfactory viewing.

Cute little Lifetime movie with the cutest little actress Kristin Chenoweth playing a hateable/likable character that finds a little piece of herself when she loses everything. The small town grows on the big city girl who finds herself falling for the town, the rough and tumble guy, and the life that she never knew she could have.It is a Lifetime movie so don't expect high powered drama or comedy but is a good movie to add to the Christmas time rotation. Heartfelt ideals of saving a small town search and rescue clash with the pushy side of New York life. It is a bit too much of a cookie cutter ending, but it was a fun movie evening with that special someone without too much commitment.Check out the rest of this review and more at http://jammoviereviews.blogspot.com
