Der magische Weihnachtsschmuck

This movie was just beautiful. I'm currently listening to famous Christmas songs and I think that's what all these movies are about, at least for me. A reminder of a "magical" time of the year.

Speaking of magical, the story with the ornaments was charming, I really appreciate having an original plot, even with the typical Hallmark elements that just can't be absent (like the -ex- boyfriend, and the main character only realizing things at the end)

Regarding the characters, does Brendan Penny have chemistry with all his co-leads? The chemistry was there and I was charmed by him once again. I did liked Marie but sometimes she just seemed off. However, I enjoyed her journey.

To sum up, this movie is average, but it does have a lovely plot regarding the ornaments. You should really watch it.

Another Brendan Penny film and I don't mind one bit. He is just so charming and lovely. I'm not sure what he sees in Jessica Lowndes character though, I might have found it more likely if she'd ended up with her ex (Also hot by the way).

I did like the idea of the potential magic in the ornaments, it made the story flow well, without it actually being a fantasy story. The hospital element was also a nice touch and I love any reference to 'A Christmas Carol', but I've never understood why there is a toy drive for kids in hospital? Just because they broke their leg, it doesn't make their parents paupers who can't afford to buy a book or something? All I'm saying is that there might be other charities out there that need help more? Ones that provide water, food and shelter maybe?

It's not a bad film overall, I've made it sound a bit off in what I've written above, but with Brendan in it, how could we go wrong?

Jessica Lowndes puts me in bad mood (hence the review). She needs speech therapist, acting lessons And new make up artist. Totally lifeless and annoying. Hard to imagine that some sweet handsome guy could be interested in her. Rest of cast good. Why would Brendan Penney agree to working with her? Hate to be negative. Hope she's independently wealthy. Forgot to mention that she never takes her dog out when she gets home. Boy, really annoying

Book editor Marie (Jessica Lowndes) has no Christmas spirit after a festive break-up and neighbour Nate (Brendan Penny), a paediatric nurse, endeavours to reignite it. Marie is also attempting to reboot the children's book sector at her publishers with push-back from her boss. So, there's a few things going on here and it takes a little time to find its feet, but we eventually get an engaging story with some good performances.

The joy of the Christmas season is helped along, a bit, as a heroine searches for her true path. A nice movie with a satisfying ending. Enjoyed it very much.
