All I Want for Christmas

"All I Want for Christmas" is a 2007 romantic comedy film directed by Harvey Frost. Here's a review of the film:

"All I Want for Christmas" tells the heartwarming story of a young girl named Hallie (Gail O'Grady) who wishes for her divorced parents, Maggie (Shelley Long) and Michael (Robert Hays), to reconcile for Christmas. Hallie enlists the help of her brother Ethan (Jimmy "Jax" Pinchak) and a department store Santa Claus (Greg Germann) to make her wish come true.

The film captures the spirit of the holiday season with its charming characters and touching moments. Gail O'Grady and Robert Hays deliver strong performances as the parents who are struggling to move on from their divorce while trying to do what's best for their children. Shelley Long brings warmth and humor to her role as the determined mother who learns to put her children's happiness above her own.

The chemistry between the characters is palpable, especially between Hallie and Santa, whose friendship forms the heart of the film. Greg Germann brings a playful energy to the role, and his interactions with Hallie are both funny and touching.

The movie is filled with delightful holiday moments, from decorating the Christmas tree to baking cookies and singing carols. The snowy backdrop adds to the festive atmosphere, and the film's message about the importance of family and forgiveness resonates long after the credits roll.

While "All I Want for Christmas" follows a familiar formula for holiday movies, it does so with sincerity and heart. The film's themes of love, forgiveness, and the magic of Christmas are universal and will appeal to audiences of all ages.

Overall, "All I Want for Christmas" is a delightful holiday film that will leave viewers feeling warm and fuzzy inside. It's a perfect choice for a cozy night in with the family during the holiday season.

Really bad writing. The 10 year old son's lines were written for a 30 year old.

Seriously, that spoiled kid with poor delivery was the only truly irritating thing to this otherwise decent enough, if clichéd piece of predictable pap. Since many Western families are going to watch a flick like this around Christmas, his attitude and (lack of memorable) presence is simply going to make it less enjoyable. Apart from him, the acting is OK. The plot may have an aspect or two that are new(with that said, I haven't watched any of the other movies with the same title, so maybe it doesn't), but you know exactly what will happen almost before the first frames of this. Basically, the child wants a new dad, and submits a video saying so, to a toy company that is ripping off the concept of the Make a Wish Foundation to increase profits. So mother dear does what people with a sense of ethics refer to as prostituting herself, agreeing to go on dates on the condition that the company gives money to her charity, named after her deceased husband. It's completely black and white, and everyone who is "good" has all the PC opinions. The characters tend to be pretty paper-thin. While this isn't terribly funny, I'm not sure it's trying for it all that often. And it doesn't particularly do any "silly" or cartoony stuff to get laughs from five-year-olds, so that's a point in its favor. The morals are wholesome, and there's essentially nothing offensive(to its intended audience) in this. I recommend this to those who belong in aforementioned group. 6/10

I Have Reviewed OVER 500 "Christmas Films and Specials". Please BEWARE Of films and specials with just one review! For instance When "It's a POSITIVE" chances are that the reviewer was involved with the production. "If its Negative" then they may have a grudge against the film for whatever reason. I am fare about these films.

A nine-year-old boy enters a corporate-sponsored contest in which entrants are asked for their greatest Christmas wish. Unbeknownst to his widowed mother he asks the contest organizers to help her find a new husband.

This film could have been much better. What brings this film to being great is the fact the Characters of Sara , Rodger and Jesse are inconsistent. The acting is fine however that can't save this film.

The one character that is always consistent is Ben. I like how is is portrayed. I also love the fact he looks like how the average guy would wear his hair and dress.

This film isn't boring and it is worth watching once. It won't make many people's "Annual Christmas Movies to Watch" list. That of course includes me.

This film should be re-made.

that kid is a freaking jerk! His mom is trying to be nice but then he's like crying and stuff. I wish he was a potato so i could eat him and then he would die and stop whining. i also wish the acting was better and there were more than one actors that i had actually heard of and that the kid was not and that that roger guy was also not there and that who ever that man next door or whatever who is obviously supposed to Mary her actually would say something or maybe the movie just didn't exist, that would be better also i hate this movie i really don't lie this movie, please don't watch it

goodbye now
