You won't be disappointed!

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Danica McKellar stars as a department store manager desperate to get ahead in the company in My Christmas Dream. Since this is a Hallmark Christmas movie, the odds are good that she'll learn what's really important and probably find love along the way. The only problem is you probably won't care about either outcome because she's pretty unlikable. Her character is written to be rather bland, but her performance is what turns the audience against her. Her acting leaves much to be desired, and as she falls in love with David Haydn-Jones, a single dad, it's pretty unbelievable that she's willing and able to take on motherhood. She's not even believable as a successful career woman.That criticism aside, if you're a sucker for anything Hallmark at Christmastime—it's okay, I am, too—you'll probably end up sitting through My Christmas Dream at some point during the holidays. It's not the all-time worst film the channel has ever produced, but you'll groan your way through and be glad when it's over. Make lots of popcorn and heap on the Christmas cookies; you'll need it.

Danica McKellar stars as the manager of a large department store trying to come up with the 25th annual Christmas display just twelve days before Christmas. She's also in the running to manage the new store in Paris, her dream city. She tasks a painter and local artist to help with the display and begins falling for him and his young son. Cute movie but with a theme that's been done one too many times.

Where do I start. Well usually Hallmark movies have somewhat questionable acting choices and the plot maybe a little convoluted. This movie is not perfect, but darn close.All the characters are very likable and has some touching scenes. The movie is about a women who is a manager and wants a promotion. She wants success and finds a painter who lost his inspiration. It's a Hallmark movie and it's Christmas and the plot unfolds. While it is a tried and true plot, it still is amazing to see the characters come together and display love and emotion.Some may think it is clichéd, some may call it sappy, and some may roll their eyes, but these movies are meant to be. It is meant to show how life can be.I give it a perfect score. Take it for what it is; a somewhat sappy Christmas movie with charm. I think this is a must see and I rate it a 9.5 out of 10!

Christina, the manager of McDougal's flagship department store, is determined to land the manager position for their new Paris location. She sets out to impress Victoria, the store's owner, by creating the best holiday display in McDougal's history. However on the day she is to meet Victoria the imperatively dressed Christina gets paint spilled on her by a worker in the department store that she manages. He gets abruptly fired. However later on their paths cross again and Victoria ends up needing this man she just fired to help her with a Christmas window display. If this display rocks upper management she then will get to live her dream a manage a store in Paris. Now this film is good. My major complaint is that the film shows that women are forced between "Career and Family". Many successful women in the past 50 years have managed to do both. This film however makes it look like that "If you don't have a family you are never happy". For once I would like to see a Christmas movie where the woman does choose a career but it also happy with that choice. Trust me that would make a great Christmas film!
