A Christmas Wish (2011 TV Movie)
Wanted: A better screenplay (but keep the actors!)
21 November 2011
A woman has just been left by her husband and takes her two children and stepson away to find a better life. They end up in a small town where a friendly cafe owner gives the woman a job. The movie then explores how this woman tries to make a new life for herself with the help of the kind townspeople including a handsome deputy whose interest in her hints at the possibility of romance.

I wouldn't say this film is awful...just mediocre. And the frustrating thing is that it didn't have to be. It creates some interesting characters that are portrayed well by the actors involved. It has a heartwarming theme about faith and love but ultimately the writer(s) fails to make the story compelling.
