"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.

Forget that she was the murderer on the 2-hour Monk pilot, Gail O'Grady is a beautiful woman and a fine actress, and that's a good reason to watch this movie all by itself.

Here, she's a widow ignoring a possible return to romance while she works at a community center and raises her (now) ten year old son.

She's told right at the beginning that her across-the-hall neighbor has a thing for her, and he already has a great relationship with the son.

Her son enters a contest with the movie's title, and of course he wins, with the wish that his mother find love and get a husband.

The story after that is full of indecisiveness and mixed signals, but it's a nice story and worth a watch.

When little Jimmy 'Jax' Pinchax enters into a department store's "All I Want for Christmas" contest, he has no idea that he's about to completely change his and his single mom's life. All he does is wish for his mom, Gail O'Grady to get remarried so she'll be happier. His entry wins the contest, and Gail is swept up in a whirlwind publicity campaign complete with a makeover, new wardrobe, and camera crew following her private moments. When the suitors don't suit her, she starts to get closer Greg Germann, who is not only in charge of the contest but is the heir to the department store.

Here's my problem with the movie: Robert Mailhouse plays Gail's next door neighbor and friend. He's obviously in love with her, but for some reason has never told her about his feelings. As we see Gail and Greg start dating, we're supposed to think he's a poor substitute for Robert. We're supposed to hope she comes to her senses and sees Greg's flaws. But Greg is extremely wealthy, full of class, romantic, sweet, and very handsome. Robert is poor, has a hardly impressive job, would rather eat at a hot dog stand than a five-star restaurant, and since he's known Gail for years, there's no sweetness or romance present in their rapport. And, although Jimmy gets along better with Robert, he'd never had the opportunity to look upon Robert as a stepfather figure. The first time Robert would scold him, he would get just as upset as he did when Greg scolded him.

I'm not going to spoil the story for anyone who wants to watch it, but I didn't agree with the general tone of the romance. It was clear from the get-go whom the audience was supposed to root for, and I was left on the sidelines. My only consolation: if Gail was stupid enough to choose the inferior candidate (I'm writing 'if' to avoid spoilers) then she didn't deserve him and he'll be better off with someone who can appreciate all he has to offer.

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