A Wish for Christmas

Lacey Chabert is a very good actress, but her film is mediocre and very boring.

A Wish for Christmas is the perfect movie for the meek and mild this holiday season. Hallmark's Lacey Chabert stars as a classic pushover: she brings coffee for everyone in the office, does her colleague's work, and lets her boss steal her ideas. When she makes a Christmas wish for courage, her request is granted.

Along the way in her newfound life, Lacey takes charge of her career and starts to fall in love with her boss's boss, Paul Greene. Paul has his own demons to face, and the upbeat and slightly pushy Lacey helps him return home to face them with his family. In typical Hallmark fashion, this movie is more corny than realistic. I mean, if you'd really spent your whole life being a pushover, could you tell people off and they'd accept it? But it's Christmas, so we make allowances for cheesy plot lines, tidy endings, and embarrassingly terrible Christmas caroling. Give this one a watch when it makes a repeat appearance on television; it's not the best but it's entertaining.

But if Lacey Chabert's in it and it's Hallmark I'll usually give it a solid look. Lacey has become the Queen of Hallmark Christmas movies, she's quietly attractive, distinctive, and with a little edge to her. I really liked her last few Hallmark Christmas entries, this one seemed a little forced or something. Lacey is a marketing wiz who won't stand up for herself, at the company Christmas party she gets courage from Santa, and then gets thrown into a challenging marketing pitch with company CEO Greene. I know Greene is also a Hallmark staple (who I hadn't seen before), he was okay but something about this just didn't feel right (as opposed to, say, Once Upon a Holiday where things seemed to effortlessly flow). So I would recommend it to the Hallmark hard core but not necessarily others.

This movie was so cute!! I loved the two leads, Paul Greene and Lacey Chabert, two Hallmark legends! They were so fun to watch together and I really love how the story incorporated more than just one theme. This story had some magic, lessons on believing in yourself, forgiveness and more! Especially compared to some of the thinly-veiled plots that are coming out this year (Holiday 2019) on Hallmark, this one is definitely a cut above! It's so cute and most importantly it's about family, friends and lifting up one another all year long! Christmas 365 :)

She is so boring seems to have no personality except when she is bossy and commanding her and Paul greene not a good fit not sure who her costar should be she ruins all the scenes.hallmark needs less bossy women she is not good fit for hallmark her or Jill Wagner Danica McKellar too bossy also Kristy Swanson Candace Cameron Bure is awful actress
