Avis en vedette
The story does not sound original at all, conceptually some of the plot elements are done to death, and the title sounds very corny. Hallmark though have showed more than once that they are capable of making above average festive films in a very hit and miss bunch. Candace Cameron Bure and Luke Macfarlane, both Hallmark regulars and no strangers to Hallmark Christmas films, are more often than not watchable and Jean Smart can be relied upon always to give a good performance.
'A Shoe Addict's' Christmas was surprisingly pretty good. Don't be put off by the title, the film is nowhere near as cheesy as the title indicates. It is not quite a great film and has flaws, but as far as Hallmark Christmas films go to me it's among the best and one of their better 2018 efforts too. Anybody that loves Christmas and wants a pleasant inoffensive distraction on a dull afternoon may find it likeable enough, and Bure, Macfarlane and Smart are all represented well.
Sure, 'A Shoe Addict's Christmas' is not perfect. It does jump around a little too much, so it is not always easy to follow narratively and some of the pace could have slowed down. Also felt that some of the supporting characters could have been developed more, they are little more than Hallmark cliches.
Have found more than once with Hallmark that their soundtracks are on the too intrusive and too constant side. Still find that the case here, though there have been worse cases before and since.
On the other hand, Bure brings a lot of sparkling charm to one of her easier to engage with characters in one of her better performances. She doesn't overplay the character's negative characteristics, and it is the type of role where that is a serious danger, and doesn't play it too twee either. Macfarlane's charisma smolders and he is very likeable and rootable. He and Bure connect very well together and have the adorable but not cutesy factor. Smart is both amusing and endearing. The supporting cast are all good enough even though their material could have been a lot more. The direction is sympathetic while not being leaden.
It looks great as a film. 'A Shoe Addict's Christmas' in my view is one of Hallmark's better looking films (Christmas and otherwise) from not just their 2018 output but also overall. It's beautifully photographed and the scenery is quite captivating. The dialogue flows better and more naturally than the dialogue in most Hallmark films and doesn't fall as much into cheese and soap. The story is very light-hearted and really warms the heart, any character changes actually not coming out of the blue or feeling hasty and the main character is one that actually grows.
Concluding, pretty good and in the better half of Hallmark's festive output. 7/10

Candace Cameron Bure and Luke Macfarlane, Worked Really Well Togather Hallmark Puts Out a Lot of Movies During The Holidays. Some Are Duds .. This Is Not One of Them I really Liked The Shoe Parts. This is a Hallmark Movie So We Know How They Usually End . It's The Story and Acting That Make The Good Ones. Don't Miss This One!
Jean Smart never takes a bad role and with every role she takes, she makes it a gem. Candice, of course, does a 20/10 bringing her character to life. Two great actresses. Well written. Could not predict the next scene. THANKS HALLMARK.
Perfect music. Perfect cinematography. Congratulations Hallmark. I couldn't leave to go to the bathroom. Still haven't gone. Wanted to write this review. Best of the year. .
I enjoyed this movie. Hallmark Christmas movies can vary from terrible to very good. This was one of the better ones. But don't make your viewing decision by reading the IMDb descriptor. It makes it sound like a Dickens remake. This is clearly inaccurate. Noelle is not a person who hates Christmas. She is just an individual who has not come to terms with her mother's death. She needs a little supernatural help, which she gets. But it is not your typical Christmas Carol. Other than her guardian angel, there are no spirits. Just examples of times in her life when she failed to take advantage of opportunities for happiness. So enjoy the movie, but don't expect any Ebenezer Scrooge moments.
Everything thing about this movie was beautiful from the main characters, to the set design to the very beautiful background worker. Loved this movie to get me into the holiday spirit.

- AnecdotesCandace Cameron Bure and Dan Willmott appeared in another Hallmark Christmas movie together. Willmott was Bure's love interest's father in Let it Snow.
- GaffesAbout 39 minutes into the film there is a shot from outside the department store where Noelle works and it is NK, a famous department store in Stockholm, Sweden. You can even see a blue tram and to the left you can see the monument at Sergels Torg.
