Un amour de Noël

To me, the only annoying thing about the movie was Nick's laugh. I realize that as Santa, he has to "ho ho ho" sometimes, but I didn't like hearing it every single time he laughed. Other than that, it was a great movie. Crystal Bernard is beautiful and always likable and the kid who played her son was a doll, too. You have to remember that Christmas movies are, as a general rule, not going to be Oscar winners. You have to like the genre first, and if you don't, you probably won't like most Christmas movies and should stay away from them (while muttering "Bah! Humbug!" to yourself!!!!). This one is better than most.

Love this movie. I actually live where it was filmed. However, There's a lot lacking in Gutenberg's performance. It seems forced and poorly acted and the constant fake Ho, Ho, Ho is unbearable.

Gutenberg's father (retiring Santa) is also a terrible actor.

The plot is great and all the other actors do a great job.

Better casting was needed.

This Christmas movie is timeless, and I find it enjoyable every time I watch it!.....The plot definitely stays focused on Christmas...and flows nicely...a really nice magical type of Christmas movie...a light-hearted, "fun" movie, without being corny to prompt changing the channel...and without annoying "background" (so called) "singing" and / or unrelated songs and /or blaring music!...which Hallmark Christmas movies are notorious for having....This movie totally is unlike the other Hm. "Christmas" movies that attempted to have the same effect...but came up extremely short.

The "humbug" theme was expressed in a way that made the movie optimistically interesting and cheerful....The very talented Crystal Bernard and Steve Guttenberg were excellent choices. Neither one was annoying. I think Steve particularly was an excellent choice to carry out his role. He had the right expressions, appearance, humor, sincerity, and voice tone...best Santa Jr. by far. Everyone's acting was nothing less than ideal. And on the whole, this movie is second to none in its category.

***Congratulations to Steve, Crystal, and the staff for making a very, very enjoyable Christmas movie!***

Santa's heir (Steve Guttenberg) woos a widowed advertising executive (Crystal Bernard) who wants to use him in the biggest ad campaign of her career.

Now the premise pf this film a cute idea. Fans of 1980's films might enjoy seeing Steve Guttenberg and thus his casting.

Now the film moves fast. There is however something missing because the film feels incomplete.

The film is "Family Safe". However the only people that might enjoy this is children under 12.

Now if you happen to catch this film on Television watch it. It does have a few nice moments that saved this film from becoming a total bust!

Charming! Fun to watch.

Far, far better than its current 5.9 user rating would lead you to believe.
