Very disappointed :(

So much average

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

The story is spread out in a lot of directions. The paths cross, so that's not so bad. But then it still drags a little. Fortunately it appears that Nathan and Meghan had more going on off screen than the brief screen time, so it is not ridiculous that they fell in love so quickly.We really come to identify with Charlie, so ***SPOILERS*** what happens gives a really sad flavor to the movie. Got to say, for once, we don't have a completely Hallmark ending.I wasn't impressed with sets, or acting. There were some popular songs including one performed, at least part of it, by Blake Shelton.There were a lot of reality holes and not just the typical Hallmark ending. A lot of medical things just didn't make sense, and Nathan's age (unless he was really Doogie Howser with a new identity). And what happened to the gift that fell out of the first kid's pocket and Nathan picked up? There were some heartwarming moments and a sweet romance.

This film is a strange beast as it's better than the original first film. If you enjoyed the Christmas Shoes then you should enjoy this festive tale.Beware though, you will need a box of tissues for the ending: This is a heartwarming tearjerker which does just as it says. Even though the clichés are throughout the story; but then again isn't that just the case in Christmas films(?); I found myself reacting to the characters situations. It's the acting and direction that work the tears free from your eyes.I really liked the idea of "The Christmas Shoes" journey through the film. It is a little cheesy, but the world is a small place, and things like this can, and do, happen.Well worth watching on a cold winter's night, while cuddled up under a blanket, by a fire.

I sat down tonight to watch a Hallmark Christmas movie. The title included "Blessing" in it, so I thought this would be happy-ending movie.Instead, the entire movie was depressing and brought my spirits down during this Christmas season. There was a list of members of two families that had died, along with a list of people who were ill and dying.Thanks Hallmark for making our "spirits bright" and bringing us a depressing, morbid movie. The only saving grace to this movie was the excellent acting and the country singing. That's it. I will definitely not be watching this movie ever again. My sister did not like this movie either and said it had a wrong title and should not be a Christmas movie.

My family and I enjoyed this movie very much. Is it possible that it will be coming out on DVD anytime soon. We look forward to watching The Christmas Shoes and The Christmas Blessings for years and years to come. These are great family movies and even if you do not cry that much you better still have the tissue sitting right beside you. It really gets to you but in a great way. It also has great family values that are wonderful. We really need more of that. It would be wonderful if they could make another sequel to this one or think of others to do like this one. We need more things to remind us what is really important. Like is the job more important than family and friends. Is your childs life on the bottom of the totem pole compared to working constantly. I guess I think of it in more of a day to day blessing because my husband works and I stay home and take care of the kids. So that they always have a parent here to talk to. Thank you.
