48 Christmas Wishes

Awful. Couldn't follow no matter how much I tried.

I don't mind lowering my standards for a cheesy christmas movie, but with this level of acting, it's very hard to do.

Young kids may enjoy it, but the bad acting was painful to watch.

I think one of the producers could have done a better job using a handheld camera and his family. The acting was just awful. The sets were the cheapest I've ever seen in a movie. Just awful all together.

But, my 7 year old loved it for some odd reason....

I've never felt motivated to write a review. But this movie finally did it. They are kids so you want to give them a break, but seriously it's as if they grabbed people off the street and gave them a costume and lines and placed them in the movie. All of the kids acting in this move is stiff, monotone or overacted and awkward. One particular moment is when two elves talk and do some type of dance - I can't even remember the context of the lines because you can't focus on anything except their terrible acting. My 7yr old stepdaughter has more talent in her little toe compared this badly acted movie. The mother is probably the only person who has any talent oh and the boy in the science lab at school is good and seems he should've got a main role. The direction is terrible. The props and costumes are good. The teen daughter is a walking cliche. The dog is cute. I will never let my kids watch this again, well at least not in my presence!
