Le charme de Noël

A little magic. Not the normal holiday plot. Vanessa Lengies is perfect in this role.

Wow! I would have given this movie 0/10 if I could. Alot of the 2019 lifetime christmas movies this season were really good with great actors and actresses but this was one of their worst out of all 28 this season. The main lead actress and her blonde ditzy friend were painful to watch. It literally felt like pulling teeth and like you were at an improv class where no one knew how to act. The movie didnt flow at all. They played background music like they do in all movies to go along with what's happening and it didnt even match up to the acting because they couldnt even act! I made it about half way through. I kept thinking this has to get better but it never did. I mean they couldnt act to save their life. I'm not trying to sound mean but the acting was so forced and it was so so SOOO bad! All their other incredible movies theyve had this season like merry liddle Christmas & a christmas winter song & random acts of Christmas & twinkle all the way & staging christmas & christmas in Louisiana and a christmas wish were all incredible movies and a few others and they flowed along with the storyline and the movie flowed but this was beyond forced. No one in the movie could act. Period. One of the worst movies I've seen in a REALLY long time.

The writing, directing, etc. are standard Christmas movie pablum. Not awful but pretty unoriginal. The chemistry between the two leads make it watchable. In particular the lead actress was a fresh face and good actress. Hope she gets a chance with better material some day.

There's nothing to like. Tacky storyline, predictable plot, un-amusing actors and feeble attempts at Christmas-afying already 'done' tropes like 'can't lie' and 'make him love me'. Unless you're 12 and love the idea of love at Christmas, give this a miss. If you're on the couch desperate for something to watch, invest your time reading the back of a shampoo bottle instead.

The first temptation was to define it as...chaotic. Or improvised. But I loved the touch of fairy tale and I prefered to ignore the large circle of mistakes , from construction of story to acting.

So, the only problem is the waste of potential.

Nice ideas, bizarre used. Morgan Fairchild as more than eccentric Mrs Kringle and Evan Williams working hard with the good guy who he acts. And the poor Vanessa Lengies... .

In Idish exists a word very fair for define what you discover at this film - khaloimes. It is the essence of this movie about an application more than silly and used in wrong manner. Maybe not the worst Hallmark but one only good intentioned.
