Santa Baby 2: Christmas Maybe

I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 400 Christmas MOVIES. SO BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I AM HONEST! I REVIEW MOVIES AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN!

When Santa Claus decides to retire, his daughter (Jenny McCarthy) must choose between taking over the reindeer reins or continuing with her fast-paced life in the outside world.

The film works okay but it is not the greatest. As of this writing I have not seen the first film. What does work works well. The film however drags a little and some of the scenes just don't work.

If your a fan of the original you might like this but again I have not seen it. This film does have charm and some Christmas magic.

Teri (Kelly Stables) should have been the heroine. Mary Class (Jenny McCarthy) is just a headache.

She's back. Still a corporate suit; nothing in her demeanor has changed as a result from the previous episode. Still obnoxious to elves, her dad Santa, etc. Oh, she has some gratingly stereotyped people working for her in "The City," too. The City scenes are too over stated and over done to be cute. But now Santa's going through some mid-life crisis (a few centuries late), and wants Mary to take over again. Mary doesn't want to, again.

Enter Teri, a go-getter who does all the work. She's depicted as an evil interloper who wants to seize control, but if you see the movie, and actually want some toys under the tree Dec. 25th, you'd root for her instead of the other two. The actress playing the role is very likable, and plays the role expertly. The other elves are pretty funny, too. The Union trade negotiations were pretty funny, but Mary comes off as stone hearted; it's annoying after a while to listen to her belittle everyone constantly. And that guy playing Mary's boyfriend? He plays the role like Beavis.

OK in places, but could have been better, though.

I recently watched Santa Baby 2: Christmas Maybe (2009) on Prime. The storyline follows Santa as he decides it's time to enjoy life and take a break from Christmas. With him away, Christmas planning is suddenly at risk. A scheming local postal worker weasels her way into managing Santa's toy shop just as Santa's daughter, Mary, returns to the North Pole to restore order. Who will save Christmas-the postal worker, Mary, or will Santa need to return to work?

This picture is directed by Ron Underwood (Tremors) and stars Jenny McCarthy (Dirty Love), Paul Sorvino (Goodfellas), Jessica Parker Kennedy (The Flash), and Kelly Stables (Two and a Half Men).

This film was more entertaining than I anticipated. The writing sticks closely to classic Santa Claus themes, exploring the challenges that arise when he steps away from his responsibilities. The dynamic between Jenny McCarthy and Kelly Stables was far more entertaining than expected, and Stables' ability to manipulate the elves into blindly following her orders felt oddly relatable to the current state of the United States. As the story unfolds, Stables finds increasingly creative ways to be a villain, while the relationship between Santa and his daughter is handled surprisingly well. The plot and circumstances keep your attention from beginning to end, especially as it balances life at the North Pole with professional and family dynamics. It wasn't awful.

In conclusion, Santa Baby 2: Christmas Maybe is a fun and unique addition to the holiday genre. I would rate it a 5/10.

I saw this one many times before seeing the first one. I recommend watching this one over that one. You don't need to have seen the first one, to follow or like this one. I thought this one was cuter, and the storyline was better, than the first one. It's a tv Christmas movie, so take it for that quality. It's a cute movie to watch by Christmas. And it makes you want to eat cookies.
