Signed, Sealed, Delivered for Christmas

Ever since I watched "The Crow - Salvation" I've been a fan of Eric Mabius' acting as his portrayal of a "Crow" was one of my favourite, second to Brandon Lee.

I've not seen him in anything for quite a while, then I saw he was in this movie called Lost Letter Mysteries for Xmas (English Title). And what a joy it was.

In his role as Oliver O'Toole, he plays a stoic, straight-laced, upright, and honourable postal worker, who thinks nothing of going the extra mile to do the job right.

I loved the idea of a team of postal workers sorting through undelivered or undeliverable letters with the purpose of giving help. Even though, I now know, this is part of a series this Christmas episode works well by itself. It's well written and the direction is carried out well and progresses the story and cast at a steady pace.

After seeing this I will be looking at getting the series on DVD.

This is a bit of an unusual story with quirky characters. Even some of the props are strange. The story has a number of Christmas related messages but doesn't get overly preachy and in fact some of them are subtle. There are elements of the story that are quite predictable, some that become predictable with clues, and even a few false clues.

The characters would be called losers by many people, but certainly not by anyone who loves Christmas movies. As we get to know them (if you haven't seen the series) they become quite lovable. They have backstories of their own, which are kind of sad. Because the characters are so quirky, I hesitate to evaluate the acting, but I found that it was fine for the story.

We have just watched this program for the first time and could not be more pleased. The entire production is first class, as is the message. It is not possible for any warm-blooded being to not be moved by the spiritual encouragement which is at the heart of this story. We look forward to more SS&D movies. These have proven to be interesting, intelligent and reliably family-friendly entertainment.

Absolutely marvelous on so many levels. Traditional family values. The interwoekinksnof the narrative was consistently wholesome. The narrative was full of great relationships. We were very attentive to the plot line the whole way. And the narrative of the nativity was also included. Such a precious gem of a movie. More of this, please!!

For some odd reason I cannot post this unless I say more. I need to add 188 more characters. I'm satisfied with what I have said. Take my word for it. This is a delightful narrative. So glad we watched it. We plan to watch the whole series. I applaud the work of the writing team. Nicely done.

First off, this series is so strong in connection and love. This one hits just a little more.straight to the heart! I love that it talks straight about Jesus! It's so sweet and caring. I actually cried watching this one. Perfect casting!
