GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Nonureva Really Surprised!
ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Kieran McCabe Normally these xmas tv movies are pretty dreadful. but this one was genuinely funny. The main cast had real comedic chops. Not your usual Christmas fair. Definitely worth a watch.
Jack Vasen This was not what I expected from the title. Actually, I'm not sure what I expected, but it wasn't this. This is not your typical Hallmark Christmas movie. The story is different, at least to me.In this movie, there are not all the usual holiday traditions ticked off in the story as in so many of the movies. (Not that I don't like them, I do.) For about 2/3rds of the movie, Krissy Kringle is petty and vindictive and often mean. But then she, and the audience, discovers that all real people are not one dimensional. It does get a little preachy, but it is part of the story.The story is excellent. The production is decent. (The house decorations are spectacular.) And the acting is good. There is some humor. I'm not sure the movie would have been nearly as good without Gabriel Tigerman who adds some humorous spice to the story. The movie probably deserves a higher score than I give it, but I rate on my personal enjoyment and Krissy was too mean for too long in the movie for my taste.
Prismark10 Naughty or Nice is an amiable and appealing Hallmark television film. Fun and life affirming in the run up to Christmas but not really that good. Where it should have had some cynicism is replaced by some saccharin.Hilarie Burton is spirited as Krissy Kringle who lives on Candy Cane Lane. She does not enjoy Christmas due to the attention she receives because of her name. She has a steady job at a firm and hopes to marry her boyfriend sometime soon. However she is suddenly fired by her cold boss and her parents arrange for her a demeaning job as an elf in a local mall.One day, Krissy receives a package in her mail, and finds herself in the possession of Santa's naughty or nice book. By calling out their name, Krissy can now see in the book what naughty deeds people have done such as her mall boss stealing money, a neighbour stealing decoration, her boyfriend might have been cheating on her and a rival at her former job was stealing her ideas and plans to steal the firm's clients for a rival one.However she soon realises that the book is in two sections with a nice part as some of the people also do nice deeds.It is watchable but only in a syrupy television film standard way.
Zoooma Who is Hilarie Burton? Someone I'd never heard of. Apparently she was on One Tree Hill for years. Here in this Made-for-TV movie she is marvelously wonderful to look at. Yum! She's a good actress, too. Hallmark Channel has a habit of casting these types of actors for these movies and while they usually give good performances, the movies aren't the greatest. This one is mediocre at best, but still a decent Christmas movie. One particular bonus in this is the casting of Meredith Baxter and Michael Gross, as the star's parents, and they each had starred in Family Ties many years ago.5.4 / 10 stars--Zoooma, a Kat Pirate Screener
