Les anges gardiens de Noël

This is in fact - one of thee greatest Christmas movies of all time. I can't do it justice, you will have to judge for yourself. But here is what I think. Jeni Ross as "Hope" is a perfect choice for the lead role. With her performance she pulls everything together. Jennifer Gibsons' as Marianne poignant performance seals the deal. Tara Yelland as Hanna shows us the embodiment of "a woman." From the smallest details, to all the acting, direction and everything else that makes a movie - Everyone and Everything that had a part in this movie makes this a Legendary Christmas movie! Some say that because it touches upon this or that - makes it not a good Christmas movie. Yes - it does touch upon abuse and abandonment but more importantly it shows how the Spirit of Christmas... How love, giving and helping can help us all over come such devastating issues. It shows us what the Spirit of Christmas is and how the Spirit of Christmas helps us all.

What a lovely story - simply told, funny , loving with great (nice) people. Very inspiring story..

Great movie. Believable story, great acting, very moving, a well done movie.

I watch a lot of these Romcoms / Christmas movies, (in the UK this one was renamed as Mystery Christmas Miracles) this one was different from the usual rubber stamped format. Within a minute or two you can see that fact.

This movie DOES have snow, but it DOESN'T have the obligatory ticklist of most of the other Christmas movies like: snowman building, snowball fight, saving a charity event, a money is no object successful business owner, etc etc. Such a refreshing change. Ok so there is ice scating, I guess the the original story in the book by Jason Wright needed something eh.

Talking of the book and the story, which I will read next Christmas I think, I only deducted one star because for just a moment near the end it all started to go cheesy and unbelievable, but later I realised that the story had to, so I kinda forgave it - maybe that's the Christmas spirit thang eh.

I have to admit, this film had me and my girl Weeping bucket loads of tears. I'd watch it again in a heart beat.

Well done, well cast and well acted, without being unrealistically Hallmark corny. I would have done a few minor tweaks (I understand why Hope was eager to be accepted, they're a wonderful family; but why would they be so quick to invite in a total stranger?). I would have changed the first jar interviewee (the teacher), and done something about the annoyingly cliche best friend. But I gave it an 8, which tells you how much I liked it, and highly recommend it. Be sure to have the tissues ready.

Also, I had no idea that Columbus looked so much like Canada. I'm going out right now and find every shooting location. ;-)

Well,...although the movie is pretty predictable it delivered very well.the actors were great, good chemistry,realistic scenes and heartfelt moments.
