Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Victor Jordan Sara Thomas (Lacey Chabert) is an awesome team player at marketing firm that is basically a pushover that allows others to take advantage of her good nature. At the company's Christmas party her marketing director promotes her project as his own. Santa offers to grant a Christmas list that would will only last for 48 hours. Sara wished for courage to stand up for herself. This wish takes Sara on a journey with her firm's CEO Peter Williams (Paul Greene) that includes a road trip, confronting an unreasonable client, strained family relations, and so much more.The chemistry between Sara and Paul is believable and you find yourself cheering for them. Chabert is my favorite HM leading lady, and Williams is also a favorite.

gehewe This is Lacey Chabert's 6th Christmas Movie and it is her best. I was about ready to give up on her. Finally a movie with some excitement that I don't fall asleep watching it. This was a good role for her. As unassertive Sara Thomas, she is wronged and is granted a wish to have the courage to speak up for 48 hours. Many scenes where she surprises by speaking up- all good. It was well done and the anticipation of what she is going to say/do next keeps the movie exciting. The admiration of her boss is just great and really makes the movie. The role of the boss is well done. Also the zillionaire Wilson was well played. The reviews preceding this one indicate a movie similar to her other five. No. This movie is much better. I will watch this one again and I am very happy it was good.Just to remind. Matchmaker Santa (2012), Royal Christmas (2014), Tree that Saved Christmas (2014), Family for Christmas (2015), A Christmas Melody (2015).

cammietime This movie starts out well, but then implodes. Sara is easy on the eyes, and her wish of being more confident is interesting and unique, but that plot device is generally wasted in the end. This movie has multiple violations of accepted and realistic corporate procedures. First of all, Sara is called a "junior web developer" who reports to the Director of Marketing? Wait what? Web developers design websites based on the input and instructions of the business, aka marketing people, they do not determine or direct corporate marketing strategy. Sara would be in IT, or in the .com department, NOT in marketing. Second of all, HR at this company has their hands full now since the CEO is openly in love with a direct subordinate, and he has promised her a promotion - which is not seen in the movie, which means it is inbound, which means everyone at the company would interpret the promotion as favoritism towards his girlfriend when it eventually happens. The whole thing of the boss getting the hots for his subordinate made me sick. The movie also spends WAY too much time in the middle bogged down in putzy conversations that do not move the plot forward, toeing the "should we really do this since you are my boss" line. I liked the jerk client at the end (he seemed the most realistic character in the movie), and they totally wasted Sara's reaction and capability in that scene. In the ending we get, the conversation we waited the entire movie for is not seen. Same thing with the CEO and his daddy issues. Of course his dad wants him to move to the small town and take over the family business - I've seen three Hallmark movies today and and two of them had this plot device, and it is really weak. Anyway, this movie starts out with great promise, gets lost debating if an attractive, young female subordinate should fool around with her boss, then decides skip over the juicy scenes and tie everything up in a way too short bow. I would rate this movie a C-.

Christmas-Reviewer BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA OR TIES TO FILMS I REVIEW. It seem like Hallmark has 3 actresses they cast in all their films. "Lacey Chabert" "Candace Cameron-Bure" and "Alicia Witt". I am just waiting one day to see them all in one film together or it least have their Hallmark Movies take place in the same town. Well anyway this is my review of a solid Hallmark film that is one of the better ones I have seen this year. In this film Lacey plays Sara a sweet young hard working career woman who people take advantage of. Her friend makes her do her work (And pick up coffee for her staff) and her boss just stole her idea and presented it as his own. Now at an office Christmas Sara is given a wish by a secret Santa. Her wish is for that she wants to not be afraid of speaking up for herself. Well guess what her wish comes true and she gets instantly reported after the big boss hears Sara giving her boss the riot act. The story takes a predictable turn but you will still enjoy the romance. The film works and is highly enjoyable. Please watch it. It is one of the better films made so for that I have seen this year.
