Featured review
What a wonderful message that spreads hope
7.5 stars.
Within the first 15 minutes we get a taste of two very charming and lovable leads. They do take a bit more time to warm up to each other. He is skeptical of her, because she is a corporate lackey, and a nerdy number cruncher. He soon learns she is a total sweetheart with an honest heart.
As time progresses, we really like Charlie and Grant. She is a data analyst whom he so nimbly disarms and molds into a person who can take risks and follow her dreams. She takes a small step into his world, and it's a strangely cynical place. He's almost lost in an age that no longer exists, where the spirit of Christmas, joy, peace, and goodness flourish. He wrestles with a dichotomy, balancing between reality and some place where he is able to take his ideals with him, because that's the world he has crafted for himself. And yet, he is simply a toy store manager. You will see what I mean, if you will just take the time to watch this.
No, this is not a fairy tale, but when he is helping kids, and selling toys to their families, he transports them to a magical place where his optimism is larger than life.
I was enraptured by this film, not totally sure why. It has an ambience of good tidings, and possibilities. The acting was wonderful, shared equally amongst all of the cast. Each of them brought a unique and fresh perspective. And I will say again, the acting was on a higher level than most Hallmark films. I don't know, maybe I was drinking the cool-aid today. You tell me. Watch it, rate it, disagree, whatever.
Please don't miss this movie based on the current average of 6.4. I truly hope the rating increases, and so next time I read my review, I expect to see at least a 6.8. Farewell my fellow Hallmarkians.
