Mistletoe Over Manhattan

Mistloe Over Manhattan is a funny, insightful, heartbreaking, inspiring and revealing story. It brings back the truth of what the real meaning of family and the value that each person brings to the union, using Christmas as its central theme.

The message resonates throughout that we can be caught in our own selfish pursuit of success while seeking to find personal satisfaction; yet forget that it is right before us.

The story told is not unique in anyway, but one that I'm sure is shared by many. What a better place than New York which represents the hustle and bustle especially during the Christmas season. This is a great Christmas program for the entire family.

Her presence is the good motif to not ignore this film who, far to be original or great, is a fair remind of importance of family. Sure, the script has many holes and many situations are unrealistic. The acting is almost reasonable and the kids are good options. But sure, Tedde Moore remains the pure good point în this sense, including as compensation of not the best Santa, and the atmosphere of Christmas.

In short, you know the story and the motif of visit was used very often. But in this case the charme of ... .. and the moral are the significant ones. The result, real nice . Like the noble purpose of lady Claus.

If you like genre fantasy its a good watch. Though wrapped up abruptly many a times that you even stumble.. still decores, lightening and family drama is worth watching. Adds on the protagonist's beauty that charms up.

Had potential to be great but awful story lines and awful acting

A real 'Jekyll and Hyde' film, where there are some very emotional issues (family break up) mixed with pantomime-style humour. The latter mostly misses the mark, although the former shines, especially the great performance from Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica). If you can overlook the silly moments, you'll get to appreciate the moments of familial tension and tenderness.
