Il mio fantasma di Natale

I, and many other reviewers, frequently mention and sometimes complain about all the overused plot tropes which are retreaded through these Christmas romances.

The writers for Ghosts of Christmas Always struck through them all for a story full of imagination and surprises. This version of A Christmas Carol takes us into their idea of what an operation of "Three Ghost Teams" might be like ... with humor and feeling and warmth.

By the time they worked their charm, I was left with an impression I've seldom had for one of these films ... almost the equal of Fallen Angel with Gary Sinise, and it's been a LONG time since Fallen Angel.

As a writer, I might have picked a slightly different device at the end to resolve the romantic element of the story, but I can't really carp over the one they picked. I'll suspend my couple of doubts and enjoy what we got, a wonderful film.

Sometimes some of my "pre-season Christmas movie picks" end up being a let down and others (like this movie) end up being a pleasant surprise. I absolutely loved Ghosts of Christmas Always and the movie's new twist on a classic! This was my first time seeing Kim Matula and Ian Harding. They had a lovely chemistry and sparkled in their Hallmark debut-And I will tune in every single time "Carl Winslow" is in a movie (more of him, please!) The "scrooging" ghosts had a fun and fresh dynamic together. This was a heartwarming movie that really checked off all my boxes for a feel good Christmas movie. My family will watch every Christmas season!

It's become a yearly tradition to try and watch as many Hallmark holiday movies as we can. For the most part, 30 minutes into each, we can figure out how they'll end but continue to watch because Hallmark gives us that escape from reality and a good feeling. This movie hower, was so very different and had a great twist at the end. It had just about everything you could want in a great rom-com, comedy, romance, heartache, tragedy and a great finale!

The actors were great each with their own little quirks to pull off this fantasy of a story. We may have given this a 10 star rating but, when the movies was over we both had to think and talk about the ending and say, oh yes....that must be what happened. This was the best Hallmark holiday movie we've seen in memory. Highly recommend it. This is one we'd watch again to pick up on things we might have missed or just to enjoy it again.

This ended up being a really sweet and different type of movie. I enjoyed it quite a lot. The characters were all well done and the angels were hilarious. It was some fun nostalgia seeing Reginald VelJohnson again <3 , honestly they could put him in all the new movies and I wouldn't complain!

Of course it's a cheesy Hallmark movie and you need to suspend disbelief but I got kick out of a storyline that wasn't the usual predictable girl leaves her corporate job for a tree lot attendant back home. Overall I found this very heartwarming.and it was an enjoyable way to kick off the holiday season.

Finally something different from Hallmark! This was a really great movie. We all know the basic Christmas Carol story, but this take on it was very creative and a pleasure to watch. I loved all the actors, too. Some new faces, all much appreciated! The acting felt very natural; another departure from the often stale performances we've seen so many times from Hallmark. The writing was great, no huge holes in the plot or lame twists in the story. Just a feel good, fun and modern A Christmas Carol. Hallmark, please read all these reviews and you'll see where your loyal fans want you to take them.
