Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

gehewe This movie passed our doze test (no one fell asleep while watching). Alicia Witt was delightful to watch. It has a fantasy type plot but so does It's a Wonderful Life. These fantasy plots make Christmas movies more exciting for me. The movie was Well done. It is a movie I would enjoy watching again.I really enjoyed figuring out who the actor playing Santa Claus was- that voice was so familiar. This movie just might establish Alicia Witt as the Christmas movie queen- good for her and us. The movie left me with a good feeling that Truth always triumphs. There was delightful humor in blurting out the truth without a common sense filter. The family will not be disappointed. EnjoyMy criticism of the movie is its title. "I'm not ready for Christmas" is one of the worst titles. "Wishing the Truth this Christmas" would better describe it. I've noticed many reviews had a problem with the story line similar to Liar Liar which I have not seen. Good Grief. How many Scrooge themes do we see. They did a good job and we Christmas movie watchers are thankful.

Rob-o My wife and I watched a few minutes of this movie last Christmas. We usually get somewhat excited for Hallmark movies, but I forgot why we didn't watch this one through to the end last Christmas season. Maybe there was something better on TV? Maybe we had too much bourbon in our egg nog? Who knows??Well, we didn't think much of it at the time other than the fact that Alicia Witt (aka America's Sweetheart) starred in this movie. We have grown to love Alicia Witt back from her days in "A Very Merry Mix- Up", and we consider her an unofficial part of our family. This movie came on again last week (the week before Halloween, for whatever reason). We turned it on just in time for the scene where Alicia Witt and her niece were about to go ice skating. It was at that point we decided to kick Alicia Witt out of our family. The scene started with Alicia Witt putting on brown ice skates, then it cuts away, and when it cuts back to her, my wife pointed out that she is wearing GRAY ice skates. Seriously??!?! Gray?!?!? Are these some kind of magic ice skates? Maybe Alicia Witt has fallen on hard times and she needs the money, but I never thought she would sink so low as to star in this complete ice-skate- screw-up of a movie.I really hope that Alicia Witt is embarrassed by that gaffe. She is better than this. Maybe now that she has hit rock bottom, she can pick herself up and once again start churning out movies that touch our hearts.

kjjd-60214 Be warned this is a spoiler.About one hour into the movie, Holly has a dinner date with Drew the next day. Holly gets a phone call from Greydon DuPois,and she has to flies out to Aspen at 6AM. That's a good 6 to 7 hour flight each way. Not to mentioned that this is an international flight so Holly has to be at the airport 2 to 3 hours before take off, and travel time between the airport and hotel. Then skiing time as well. I would guess a good 20 hours total (if not more). How the heck does Holly keeps her dinner date with Drew? Also by the time Holly arrives in Aspen, it would be sometime in the evening (Aspen time), why is there daylight?!? Tough movie to watch when the movie makes no sense.

story_by_corey Holly Nolan is an ad person dedicated to her job. She is so dedicated, she puts it before everything and everyone in her life.…..until she misses one too many of her niece's recitals. Mad that her aunt was a no-show, Holly's niece meets a magical Santa conveniently standing outside of the recital hall. She asks Santa for one wish. That wish is that Holly only be able to tell the truth. Santa grants it and that's when the storyline kicks in.Holly soon discovers that not only can she not tell a lie, she has lost her ability to filter her thoughts. In a normal world, that would be a bad thing. But in the Hallmark world, it opens doors and takes Holly to emotional and interpersonal places she might have never experienced. She tells her co-workers what she really thinks and it opens lines of communication. She tells a guy she'd really like to go out with him and it leads to romance. She tells an important client what she really thinks of his product during a pitch session and it lands her the big account. But does living an honest life ultimately lead to happiness? You'll have to watch the movie to find out.It's typical Hallmark fare, but Alicia Witt's performance and some thought provoking moments make this movie worth a couple hours of your time.
