Mrs. Miracle 2 - Ein zauberhaftes Weihnachtsfest

I really pity the unjustified Scrooge mentality of the 3 negative reviews of 4 before mine. I'm sorry they fail to realize that what one perceives as "plastic" in acting is often just as much a failure on the part of the viewer even to be WILLING to connect with the actor, a willingness I've had for some years with Eric Johnson/Jake & Jewel Staite/Holly and now appreciate having with Doris Roberts/Mrs. Miracle.

I realize the suspension of disbelief can be overused and often is, but in my viewing there was little needed on my part. I thankfully already knew Jewel Straite from Stargate: Atlantis days but was happy to find the two new "jewels" of Jake & Mrs. Miracle, though not realizing that Jake's Eric Johnson was the same old lovably affable self in Flash Gordon of a few years ago. Why they pass up wonderful guys like him for leads or cancel the shows in which they ARE leads is a sad testimony especially to the bad nature of the media and to some extent the viewers. Long story short, don't listen to the Scrooges that panned this jewel; be like Scrooge himself became, joyful adherent to the joys of Christmas by joining Jake and Holly and fellows in this warm-hearted "Merry Christmas" celebration movie. Don't miss it!

I love this film. Its one of those feel good films. It shows humanity in all aspects. Christmas films are in general good but not always great. This film is a step up from standard Christmas films It's fun and enjoyable

This movie has everything you need at Christmas. A great script. Fine acting and a Christmas spirit that can't be planned or written. This movie just works. Impossible to find btw. I had to buy it as a Region 2 DVD from Germany!

Hallmark specializes in Christmas movies, and this one punches all the emotional buttons. Indeed, the story of "Miracle in Manhattan" AKA "Debbie Macomber's Call Me Mrs. Miracle" is like a large jigsaw puzzle that miraculously resolves into a perfect Christmas snow scene for the holiday.

Jewel Staite ("Firefly") plays Holly, a pleasant young woman who works for Lindy Lowe (Lauren Holly), a designer of women's clothes who is the prototypical horrible boss. Holly meets store manager Jake (Eric Johnson) and somehow bumps into him again and again. At the center of this Christmas tale is Mrs. Miracle (Doris Roberts), a seasonal employee at Jake's store who may be more than just the nosy interloper she appears to be.

Those who are suckers for sappy Christmas stories with benign paranormal forces at work will appreciate the heart in this TV movie.

It has a heartwarming story and Doris Roberts is fantastic. I actually hadn't seen the first in the "Mrs Miracle" series prior to watching this one and I could still follow along with no problem, as they were about two different families. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a feel-good holiday movie. The whole family will enjoy it.
