Un regalo per Natale

Anyone who is negative about this movie clearly has no heart. Do yourself a favor & give it a try for yourself because everyone has an opinion. Remember if everyone liked the same type of movie we would not have the variety we have to choose from. Anyone who likes any Hallmark channel, UPTV, or Holiday movies will enjoy this movie.

I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 400 (C H R I S T M A S ) MOVIES AND SPECIALS.

BEWARE OF SOME REVIEWERS THAT ONLY HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I AM HONEST! I REVIEW MOVIES & SPECIALS AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN! I HAVE DISCOVERED MANY GEMS IN MY QUEST TO SEE AS MANY Christmas MOVIES AS I CAN.

In this film "The Christmas Gift" The story is built around Megan, a beautiful 10-year old girl who is impressed by a gift that she received through Secret Santa. Not only is she impressed by the gift, she treasures it, since it came at a time in her life when she really needed it. As time passes, she never forgets the gift, and she never forgets the face of the little boy whose photo was attached to the Christmas gift. After almost 10 years, Megan, who is now a journalist, makes it her mission to find out the location of the little boy who touched her so many years ago. When she decides to approach the editor with an idea for the perfect story to find her Secret Santa, Megan's life changes in a way she never expects after finding him.

In general the story is not that well crafted. The emotion on the actors have for one another is just isn't there. What should be noted is that this film is so predictable that you can see the twist coming.

The actors are all fine and do great work here. The story could have used a little more work.

The characters in this movie are fairly predictable and the movie would be much shorter if the actors picked up their queues. You could drive a truck through some of the pauses between the lines of dialogue.

It's not a mystery.

its not an 'investigative' movie

Its pretty boring

No humor, no suspense, so strong antagonist, some of the actors were reading their lines off cue cards in front of them it seemed

It was clean, no drugs, no smoking, no cussing

I don't expect much from holiday movies, yet this one disappointed me. It's a cute story based on real-life events, but unfortunately also dull. Not much is happening, the pace is very slow, and the chemistry between the leads wasn't there either. I can live with clichés in Christmas movies, but this one missed some spark that would make up for them.
