A Christmas Miracle for Daisy

One more movie like Hallmark used to make. The story is simple, with a touch of Christmas spirit. The delivery is straightforward, with no hidden or intrusive messages. The entire cast works well and the lead actors, Jill Wagner and Nick Bateman, render their story credible. Rubi Tupper, playing Daisy at her debut, is super cute and a joy to watch. The film offers no striking moments or sensations. Just a world of nice people with kind sentiments and a little help from Santa. This is the kind of shows that leave you feeling better inside, as you expect at Christmas time.

I love Jill Wagner. She's one of my absolute favorites. Nick Bateman is totally gorgeous but he seemed a bit stiff in this. The storyline is predictable, yes, but movies in this genre tend to be predictable so when people express surprise when it turns out how they thought...I'm like what did you expect!?? That being said, this wasn't one of my favorites. It was cute, and sweet, but fell a little short. Felt rushed and not quite fully developed. Still cute but GAC is doing sooooo much better this year vs last. Last year it felt like they were just trying to replicate Hallmark whereas this years movies are much more original.

I read all these reviews the talk about how predictable this movie is, etc. THAT'S the point of these movies! And I loved it. The main characters are great. Once again, I read that they don't have chemistry- that's what the movie is about, denying there was any chemistry.

If you're looking for a movie with a deep complicated plot, move on. But if you're looking for a movie in the old Hallmark style that makes you feel good, this is your movie.

The only two characters I thought could be better were the hotel owner and the Santa. They were okay, but not great.

I don't rewatch many of these types of movies, but I may rewatch this one.

Merry Christmas!

Pretty much the usual Hallmark Christmas stuff but on their new competition - GAC Family.

This movie has no great highs or lows or surprises. There isn't a lot of dramatic tension. The Misunderstanding is a bit lame but follows the usual lines.

The acting is OK. The standout is Rubi Tupper as Daisy. She does a great job without overacting. So many Christmas movies get a boost from a well-done child in the mix.

Let's face it. A lot of longtime fans of Hallmark are ticked at them for going woke. GACF appears to be a breakaway promising to stick to the traditional ways. The old fans are rooting for GACF. But this movie, like pretty much all the other Christmas 2021 GACF offerings, was decent, family oriented, but nothing great. The same is true of most of the other 2021 offerings from Hallmark, UpTV and Lifetime. I didn't think it was a great year. However in my opinion, the few standouts there were in terms of sentiment and pure entertainment happened on one of the Hallmark channels or Lifetime.

Another typical Christmas movie with a very much predictable plot. There is zero chemistry between the male and female lead especially Nick Bateman. I love Nick Bateman, believe me, but I don't think he is meant for acting. His acting skills were poorly delivered in the movie and it was almost painful to watch him in action. This makes the movie less interesting and boring to which I didn't even finish the movie like I was supposed to be. If you are in for a feel good Christmas movie where you don't bother about the plot and acting then go for it. A one time watch movie. Nothing new or exciting.
