SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.

Excellent, a Must See

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I give every Christmas movie out there 10 stars, because Christmas does what it does to the world, it makes everyone act nice to each other for just a few days, then everybody goes back to being introverted, to put it mildly. But I give this one two stars due to the awfully written story line, it was a wasted opportunity.What would you do if an elf gave you 12 wishes for Christmas ?, and your lovely little dog was in the pound because your landlord said, "no dogs"!Well the first thing I would do is wish for my dog to be with me again, but not our heroin, her wish list doesn't even receive depth of thought, her wishes are all about me me me, material goodies.I struggled with this film, even though the story triumphs when things go wrong with her 12 wishes and everything she has wished for turns sour, it is then the elf tells her to look to her heart, and this she does., and everything turns out all right in the end.I have a Yorkie myself, and this film made me give her an extra extra hug. And she gave me extra licks......

The previous reviewer summed it pretty adequately. I, too, wish I had those 2 hours back! We watch a LOT of Christmas movies and this might be one of the worst ones yet. For some reason, the title got changed, my feeling is a poor attempt to appeal to animal lovers, to "12 Wishes For My Dog." But the dog has very little to do with the story and the wishes are not really related to him. It would've made a better story if they were the dog's wishes!The movie had a couple of decent actors (Fred Willard, Michael Gross), the story premise was interesting, and there were some nice Holiday shots, and the star was very sweet (but totally unbelievable), but the acting was just bad. The story had promise but failed to execute. If you want a warm and fuzzy feeling, watch the last 5 minutes and skip the rest of the movie.

Guess I'm getting to a point at which positive stuff really does it for me, and this movie oozes Christmas kitsch.Okay, here are what hit me:1) Real liquid in a coffee cup!!!! I am so tired of movies always serving people air coffee, I mean even in the big budget really good ones!!!! What, are you afraid of spilling on the wardrobe you're going to take back?2) Horrible sets ... they won't fool you at all. And, yet ... and yet ... the acting, writing, directing, cinematography for the most part win the day and you won't care.3) That Christmas kitsch ... it's everywhere!!! And it is as bright and reassuring as the plot itself.4) They didn't say grace!!!! That was the one let-down in the otherwise darling entertainment for me. What, do we have a new genre? ... Christian movies that aim not to offend. This is the second really good one I've seen, the other being Paradise Recovered also reviewed here, and maybe that is what makes them work is the less obvious evangelism. I guess our girl wasn't really convinced, though, or maybe you can be good without being obvious about it. Maybe you are displaying your faith in how you treat others. That is basically what the movie says.

Very predictable plot, with an unimaginative story line. Ugh...the conflict of the story is very predictable and hard to stomach. The heroine is plays the stereotypical woman(fashion designer, drama queen, all that jazz). And the problems that the heroine go through, (wishing for only selfish things instead of good things) are not very well thought out. The script is very corny and predictable. Linsey also is a total drama queen, calling all of her petty problems in disasters and refers to her life as a colossal disaster. Worse wasted hour of my life. If you see this movie coming on, CHANGE THE CHANNEL!One word to describe: Awful
