Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Brilliant and touching

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

I often come to this website to read reviews of movies. After watching this movie I was certain that all of the reviews would be scathing. The acting by the mom and the kid was brutal. (Sorry kid...) After reading the first couple of reviews my jaw dropped. 10 stars ?!!! They loved it? As I continued to read I decided that either friends or family, (or themselves), had to have written those glowing opinions. Finally, I read the last one and saw that someone had actually told the truth. After all the times I've come to this site I decided to register so I could warn people that haven't seen this awful movie to not waste their time. Really, if you value your time at all, don't watch what I now consider to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Yes, it was so bad that it got me to register just so I could get the truth out there. I know that our opinions of movies are subjective, but when one is as terrible as this one, I can't believe it got even one good review, let alone several. The great reviews have to be from friends or relatives.

It had a run last night on Lifetime Movie Network..."Holly" had two facial expressions, and could only deliver her lines out of the side of her mouth while looking away from the person she was speaking to. I guess that showed her tortured angst."Nick" had to deliver lines that were so corny, I cannot imagine how he kept from laughing! "If you don't believe in miracles, how can miracles happen?" And the poor kid, wooden delivery, and his mom (evil shrew) does not want him bonding to a male father figure ~ and his dad just died! How do you balance the age of the kid between young enough to "believe" and old enough (savvy) to know how to manipulate emails to "fix up" his mom with Nick? Or that his mom needed fixing up to begin with! Don't even get me started on the hockey scene where they speed up the action to draw comic relief from the "little people" elves...Horrible horrible tripe trash!

This movie was very heart warming and I think Steve Bacic is fantastic actor and hope he will get more good parts like this and become more well known. Wonderful movie for the holiday season. Loved everything about this movie but especially Steve Bacic. Enjoyed the elves playing around. Seeing Raindeer in a movie again especially Rudolph. This movie is one that the whole family will love and enjoy for years to come. The dog was also a great part in the movie. Some scenes were very touching and some made me laugh. I totally recommend this movie for one and all!More movies of this type need to be made! Enjoyed the wild colored clothes that were worn by Steve Bacic but especially the Santa outfit. It made me believe in miracles again!

It's wonderful to see a sentimental, funny, Christmas film with romance, Santa, elves and reindeer. For a change Christmas wasn't marginalized. In a way, it is reminiscent of "Miracle on 42nd Street". A perfect holiday movie for young and old alike. Great family experience. Loved the music. Actors Steve Basic and Josh Hayden's performance were touching. A great duo. The dog was funny-especially in the street hockey game. And Rudolph- I can't remember seeing him in a movie for a long time.Gabrielle was a bit harsh as a character, but in a typical Scrooge tradition. Inspiring message. Look forward to seeing it every year!
