Meet the Santas

Christmas is my favorite time of the year mostly because of watching all of the Christmas movies that are out there. This definitely qualifies as one of my favorites. Hallmark Channel is tops on my list during the holiday season. I have always been a Crystal Bernard fan but even more so after this. She is beautiful and looks especially beautiful in this movie. Marriette Hartley was also good in her role as the rich and snobby mother. Steve Guttenberg was wonderful as well. I would like to see one more sequel to this series where it shows how life for them works out once they arrive in the North Pole. I will keep my fingers crossed for that.

The rush for the wedding was overpowered by Beth's terribly pushy mother. I certainly would have stood up to my mom if she acted like that! I was also sad that we didn't get to see the after-wedding and North Pole arrival. I was looking forward to that the most! This was kind of blah compared to the first one.

I saw this movie, and it was like GUTTENBURGalicious, it is the best Steve Guttenburg movie that I have ever seen. I would highly recommend this to Steve Guttenbburg fans, it is a lot better then his all time hit "Single Santa Seeks Mrs.Claus," because its the sequel, this movie is slightly predictable though. This movie goes on my top ten list, its a timeless classic! A must see for everyone. The plot is slightly sad during the beginning first thirty minutes of the movie, but it just gets better as it goes along. My family laughed and cried throughout this treacly movie. At first I did not know it existed, but I saw it on TV. This movie shows Steve Guttenburg at his finest. During this movie, Guttenburg shows that he is a class "A" actor and that he should be in the Hollywood walk of fame.

I can understand the appeal of a joyous Christmas movie. I can understand the appeal of having a man become Santa Claus. I can understand the appeal of the Christmas magicbeing saved by the unity of the new santa to the new mrs claus.

So where was it? They seem to like to just randomly skip from scene to scene without care for letting the audience know why. What happened? Why are things a catastrophe one minute and all fixed the next? I still have no idea.

For out of work B-listerers like Steve Guttenberg and Crystal Bernard I can understand this as the next logical career choice. But Mariette Hartley....you used to have so much class.

She must have been crying at the end because her agent couldn't get her a better movie to be in.

It takes more than a red suit and a forced ho-ho-ho to make Christmas Magic.

Although this movie was made in 2005, my review is here to say that these Christmas movies (part 1 & 2) are timeless...since they continue to be enjoyable year after year!

The talented Steve Guttenberg and talented Crystal Bernard carried the great plot so well!

I like it because it really stays focused on Christmas...and in a delightful way...and with magic...and with no annoying characters! That is the way GOOD Christmas magic movies are supposed to be.

The plot had a nice flow...not boring at all...all of the players were great...the lines and directing were great.

Thankfully their dialogue was not drowned out by blaring, annoying "music" or atrocious singing...as some other Hallmark Christmas movies are noted for having.

The only one oddity that stood out was Crystal's heavy TN accent...compared to her "mother," who had no accent and spoke ultra-refined. That didn't make any sense.

But in such an enjoyable movie as this...always a pleasure to watch... who cares??
