In the UK, when the movie starts, and the titles roll, it shows the name of this film as "A Star for Christmas" and it's year was 2023, not 24.

The rest of the IMDB details are correct AFAIK. At the time of writing this, the IMBD score is 5.6 and I feel that that is about right.

Plot is good, most acting is good, seems well directed znd produced etc. Some Christmas movies are an annoying waste of time, this is not one of those - but having said that, I wouldn't go out of my way to watch this again. It's a nice film, that's about it. (There was some mild over acting mind, and one extra stood there like a tree at one moment, that was funny but distracting)

Good film, worth watching.

Despite previous reviews, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I enjoy a believable story line, yeah I know a magic potion is rediculous but somehow it's carried off well! Good acting helps, well directed, editing and production etc, all good. Maybe I'm more tolerant of some of the subject matters as I'm a bit older now, had a near miss health scare and all subjects in this cleverly written story are very relevant to me. Also of course I'm a sucker for a RomCom. If you are too, I highly recommend this film. It's got travel, romance, a great story, happy times and some not so happy, and lots of famous actors. Hope that helps.

This movie has a refreshingly different storyline to the usual TV Christmas movies. And the actors are great. Finally believable lifelike characters.

None of the usual story plots like: A horrible boss - nope.

Make a snowman - nope.

A snowball fight - nope.

Etc.

And they don't stand in a semi circle around the camera to have a conversation.

Yes there is snow, well it's Christmas. Yes the lead character walks around with summer clothes, but this is - for a change - addressed in the movie by someone who is dressed in appropriate clothing.

Everything is just about right. Jeff Bridges's brother Beau, didn't carry the movie, he's there just about the right amount. For this movie, IMDB has a rating at the moment of 6.5, I feel this movie should be around 6.9 to 7.2, even though I personally rate it at around 8 because for once, I wouldn't mind "rewinding" and watching the whole thing all over again.
