The story within this movie or should that be two stories are a good idea.

The first about how the flight attendant and the single dad meet and of course eventually fall for each other

Then there's the other story and I think the best of the two about the effort of the two leads researching where and how the lead actresses parents met and fell in love as well.

Now for my criticism. I thought that the first half of the movie was a bit too manic. Trying to cram too much into it at the start.

The male leads family were all a delight with the parents own story of how they met mentioned.

The best praise goes to the little actress who played Leah who kept the film going along nicely without being too sickly sweet or too obnoxious as some in other movies.

Read a few reviews about the fact that women are expected to be housewives/mums. In this film when Hanna gets a chance to see her alternative life and then ten years later change this alternate in the way she wants. Ten tears later it seems her "new" husband will move to be with her so now she CAN have a career and a family. Similarly if she just "happens" to have the same two daughters (debatable). Then she can mould them OUT of their bratty ways.

I have ONE criticism. Hanna was always being asked to help out with the pageant and I was expecting to see some of said pageant. We did see the children in their dresses but then, nothing.

You watch a Christmas movie and expect to see a kiss or two but not until near enough the end. This one nearly had me reaching for a sick bag as soon as the two main characters meet and virtually start snogging straight away.. It was however a fun and light, film to watch though with lots of comic moments. The idea of the main actor making a Christmas movie within a Christmas movie made for a fine distraction. The five stars I gave it was for the three actresses, Briana Evigan as you have never seen before, and a soundtrack filled with lots of great Christmas songs and a couple of non Christmas ones.

On the DVD cover it stated "One of the most frightening, intense and horrific films in modern horror". This statement is what made me watch it. Felt totally cheated by this. Been more frightened by a Scooby Doo cartoon.

I normally do not watch this kind of stuff Bur as it set in Scotland I tune in for the scenery. As for the programme itself the "paranormal activity" has been seen before in ANY paranormal movie.

Only watched this movie because Cynthia Rothrock was in it. Who would have thought that a star of martial arts could look so good. Producers wanted to extend the film so they plonked in half an hours footage of a croquet match. Waste of time and so boring.

I have just found another favourite Christmas film. Of course it DOES deal with terminal illness. But it does not really go down the maudlin road TOO much. It has plenty of fun parts which keeps us entertained. Even the ending gave us a little hope that, maybe, just maybe it wasn't the end we all knew was coming.

This whole movie should be put in the "goof" section. It was total hokum from get go. Just how many bullets do those guns ACTUALLY hold? I started counting each time but lost count every time. One good thing about it was that I did not see the twist coming.

Two stars. One for Arnie and one for Emelia Clarke. Arnie should never have said "I'll be back" for this which is one Terminator too many.

What a load of obnoxious characters. Only watched the entire film to see how each one met their fate. The only characters I liked were the heroine Erin and Aimee the only daughter of the family. Unfortunately Aimee met her fate early on. No doubt she wanted out of it quick. Loved the music, shades of John Carpenter.

Not quite 10 out 0of 10 for one reason. The character Tanner made my skin crawl for some reason. He was all over the character of Nicky within the first meetings. Not the sort of idea that teenagers or anyone need to see.

I have only watched this programme from about the beginning of season 4 (it is now nearing the end of season 6). I enjoy MOST episodes of the programme. When I say most I mean I cannot get over the fact that VIRTUALLY every episode that I have seen has at least ONE boy somewhere during it. If he is not part of the story line, he is a character in the background or, in a picture. I find this a bit weird as if someone who is connected with this programme has an obsessive perversion to little boys. I would have thought a programme that deals with so much violence would keep the roles of children to the very minimal with only the odd episode having an appearance.
