A Christmas Switch

This has been done before. Mother daughter, switch, sister switch, etc. Etc. This one is done especially well, two great actresses, good plot, great dialogue it will keep you glued to your seat. Definitely recommend.

Love the changes in the two characters personalities as they experience life from a different perspective. One, over the top for Christmas, and has the inability to say no to any request. The other is a grinch and a Scrooge, and the first word out of her mouth is no.

It's great to see the two of them learning to work together to help each other out and help each other's families out. Lots of lessons to be learned from this one.

Very very nice job worth your time.

1st: reviewers here are hard and we definitely don't share the same opinions. Maybe cause I'm older or just that I'm old-fashioned. STOP reading all the reviews until you have watched the movie. These reviews on this movie would have made me not want to watch it. I LOVE this silly, predictable, unrealistic but very cute little movie. I even recorded it and I'm watching it right now for the 4th time. Yes, you might not like it and feel like you wasted your time but what do you have besides time! Form your own view, you don't have to agree with others, that's what makes us all different and equal at the same time. And hey, you just might like it.

Is it deep? Not really. Is it incredible? No. But it's fun and that what a Christmas movie should be. The little girl is super cute, and it's fairly enjoyable.

Yes it's been done before. Is it as good as the others? Maybe not, but maybe yes. The acting is fine. The story is also fine. If you don't try to compare, but go with the flow, it is an enjoyable TV movie.

I liked that there was confusion of the sudden switch is profound, but not overdone. I liked that Julia is tough, even arrogant and selfish, but not sadistically mean. I liked that the teenage Laurel does love her mom. I loved little Cleary Herzlinger as Kelly. She actually acted her age. And I loved the very last segment by the tree.

Jackie Seiden has talent. We hear a bit of it, but I could have listened to more.

As some other reviews have noted, the lead actresses do a great job in pulling off their roles. The plot is meaningful for the characters involved and a lot of fun to watch. Good comedic acting. Good plot surprises. Very satisfying at the end. The epitome of an excellent Christmas movie. Enjoy!
