Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

An absolute waste of money

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The movie ends nicely and the male lead pulls it off well. I liked Danica's character at the end but not at the beginning.For someone who is supposed to be in charge of a household and who used to supervise 22 employees, she comes across as very unprofessional at first. She couldn't keep her mouth shut, she bumbled around and said such embarrassing things.She looked lovely and the story line is nice but I couldn't get past the way she was portrayed.

Danica McKellar plays a spunky girl who is going to fix a Christmas for a wealthy dysfunctional family. I hate spunk! She has a great body and really holds up well after all these years, but I can't get past her droopy eyes. Andrew Francis is about the most irritating guy in Canadawood. Lay off the hair product and stop being evil. All this being said, it is watchable. Looking forward to seeing Chelan Simmons in more movies.

I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 400 (C H R I S T M A S ) MOVIES AND SPECIALS.BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I AM HONEST! I REVIEW MOVIES & SPECIALS AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN!This 2017 Hallmark Christmas Theme Movie stars in Danica McKellar. She is one the many "Hallmark CHirstmas Movie" go to actress who always brings a very likable performance. In this film however she seems to be a semi-remake of another Danica McKellar Hallmark film called "A Crown FOr Christmas". In this film she plays Lizzie Richfield who just landed a job as house manager for the exclusive Ashford Estate in the Virginia countryside. While preparing the place for sale, Lizzie plans one final Christmas Eve gala for the Marley family, though they seem to be a family in name only.If you are a romantic then this film is for you.

To me, this is a different approach to a Christmas story, although it still uses many traditional plot devices. Lizzie becomes the house manager, put in the middle of a wealthy and slightly estranged family just before Christmas, and as that same house is being sold.The story is interesting even if it has no great surprises. Lizzie finds herself bringing this family together. This is a big part of the charm of this movie. It is heartwarming to see each time a connection is repaired.One thing I liked about this story is that it didn't accentuate the class difference between the Marley's and Lizzie. Unlike so many stories where unemployed girl meets rich guy, especially when it is "old-money", you can actually see these two overcoming those differences easily.Danica McKellar, as Lizzie, works that charm as this part is tailor made for her. I assume her annoying chattiness in the beginning is the story and direction rather than the acting. Given that, she carries it off. Neal Bledsoe, as Robert Marley, the head of the clan, has a difficult part. He is difficult to warm up to. The chemistry between McKellar and Bledsoe must be subtle and steady. Robert's nature is intentionally stiff and businesslike.I will gladly make this a regular Christmas movie treat.
