Twinkle All the Way

I love Sarah Drew and she didn't disappoint. Ryan Mcpartlin also played the role of the goofy single dad well. My favorite was Ruthie, the six year old girl. What an adorable little actress! She looks just like a doll and played the role very well

I know some people were bothered by the gay couple but honestly they were not a main part of the story at all. They were on screen for just a few minutes total. If seeing that bothers you just fast forward a couple of minutes and you will literally not miss anything of importance. There's no need to demonize the entire movie for such small details. The overall movie was cute and enjoyable.

For your information, a family movie is a movie promoting love. If you don't agree with this, ask yourself the right questions.

Two single parents bond over decorations. Sarah Drew plays a wedding planner. Ryan McPartlin is a charming Christmas decorator with a goofy smile. Lesley Ann Warren looks lovely and young - she has aged very well. They have a cute enough romance with a pretty finale.

As far as these movies go this is alright - it's not about the struggling business and moving to a small town stuff.

With all the cheesy Christmas movies on TV this time of year, this is not one of them. With Great acting and cast, this movie is a diamond in the rough. This is a great family movie. Don't pay attention to the homophobes posting horrible reviews.

The premise has been used but not as much as some. Two single parents get thrown together to organize a Christmas pageant, or in this case just the sets. Both are busy with huge important deadlines Christmas Eve. Fortunately the pageant is not the same night. It's been done, but somehow it felt different than most of them.

There's a hint of something magical about Henry and his mother Twinkle (yes that's her name). Cadence is the cliche list maker, but you quickly get the sense that she is capable of at least a little flexibility. Sarah Drew and Ryan McPartlin connect. Add two cute little girls, 6 and 7 I think, and this movie gets a double kid bonus, but in this case it's the kids that bond with each other, not adult to kid as in so many other movies. The movie gives them all time to develop relationships.

There is a male gay couple that are affectionate. If that really bothers you, don't watch, but it doesn't interfere with anything.

Somehow I knew what the crisis would be - previews maybe? But I did not see the solution coming until the last minute. That part was done well.
