Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

folsominc2 Trashy, nasty, awful and disgusting.This was not only unbelievable, unrealistic, stupidest plot I have ever seen in a long time, but one of the many rehashes of Pride and Prejudice or Bridget Jones Diary (another real nasty!)Why in the world do movie writers think they have to throw in obligatory sex situations into something so stupid and unmoving. I saw no reason or chemistry in the couple at all and no convincing of why the woman would want to share her personal body parts with this man that she hated . . . until he decided to pose for the calendar!Ridiculous and stupid - have I said that before?12 men of Christmas deserves 12 minus points for worse than dumber!

SanteeFats 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.

Desertman84 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.

torrentstorm After watching this flick this evening, I am now looking hard for something I saw really worthwhile, something moving, something not a stereotype or cliché, something not seen before or unique, something I can say to you,like: "Hey, I'd like to recommend this one because...", but, I can't think of anything.These ideas they come up with for Christmas stories are really annoying sometimes. Haven't we seen something similar and probably better put before? A top New York (when not) publicist catches her boyfriend in a compromising situation with her lady-boss and quits her job, then after fruitlessly searching, decides to take a position working for the Mayor of a small town in Montana (again, sameo sameo), doesn't exactly fit in with the local small town life (no surprises?), finds out they have a climber's rescue team but not enough money to buy the equipment they need, so drums up the 'brainy' idea to have 12 of the town's Adonises pose semi-naked for a calendar to produce profits to meet the goals? Well, admittedly, if you are in a place this small with limited resources, you bring out your think tank and go the distance, but honestly, after the first 45 minutes or so, everything was so humdrum I was becoming bored.The plot had some gaps that made me mentally race ahead to try understand what was going on. Then in romantic affairs, I got mixed up with who was dating who and who had a crush on who and so on and on. The only thing that stood out was that E.J. Baxter (Kristin Chenoweth) and Will Albrecht (Josh Hopkins) were slicing each other up into ribbons ever since they met, but during the last 30 minutes or so, they found out they liked each other and fall in love, or something like that anyway (surprise!). So with the right mixture of improbabilities and copycat ideas, we produce this movie called "12 Men of Christmas" (why Christmas anyway - unless referring to the general period in which things took place). If trying to place a happy, hopeful feeling about the season, well, this movie failed to get that feeling moving - it was pretty banal and hum-drum. I felt suddenly empty and missing something.As for the rest, you find yourself really stretching imagination a bit here to understand how they created a wannabe feel-good story that doesn't leave anything to think about, cherish, comment on, criticize constructively, or learn something for posterity's sake, if nothing more. There was nothing noted in the acting either, usual lame not-good not-bad stuff.Honestly, I watched this one because I had nothing better to do, and I was enjoying my supper meanwhile. MY supper, how was it? Good! This movie, 12 Men of Christmas? Are you kiddin'?
