Magic Stocking

Love this movie brings some Christmas magic but the characters were annoying except the male lead.

Just when you thought with Covid that Christmas couldn't be any more miserable...... then along comes this !!!!

I agree with another reviewer that the lead actress 'gets on my nerves' and has a face like a slapped arm ! and when her own mother said 'I had no idea' as to why her own son in law was travelling resulting in the fatal car accident, well, it beggars belief ! Not one to sit through again.

Our family loves Christmas movies and we liked this one. It passed the doze test (no one fell asleep). It was a simple story with a little fantasy mixed in. Yes it was well done and we would watch it again.

The story was simple and warm with 5 main characters. The Christmas movies I haven't liked have too many characters with convoluted story lines. The grandma character really added energy and a personal touch using pet names like sugar and bug for her daughter and grand daughter. Great job on how the coin guessing contest was won and fit in with the magic stocking. Movie shows the little girl doing the right thing. Great all around.

Supposed to be cold and all snow yet all the license plates were from Florida.

This had a lot of things I liked. Maybe I'll like it better with a second watching. The mom was annoying: angry and grieving throughout the entire movie. Negative about everything. Determined to be miserable. Refused advice or help from everyone.

The story itself was actually cute. Adorable puppies, good acting by the girl, and a magic stocking. The male lead could have been more upbeat, but it was okay. For the most part, it was enjoyable.
