Magical Christmas Ornaments

Another Brendan Penny film and I don't mind one bit. He is just so charming and lovely. I'm not sure what he sees in Jessica Lowndes character though, I might have found it more likely if she'd ended up with her ex (Also hot by the way).

I did like the idea of the potential magic in the ornaments, it made the story flow well, without it actually being a fantasy story. The hospital element was also a nice touch and I love any reference to 'A Christmas Carol', but I've never understood why there is a toy drive for kids in hospital? Just because they broke their leg, it doesn't make their parents paupers who can't afford to buy a book or something? All I'm saying is that there might be other charities out there that need help more? Ones that provide water, food and shelter maybe?

It's not a bad film overall, I've made it sound a bit off in what I've written above, but with Brendan in it, how could we go wrong?

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

PLEASE 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 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 " C H R I S T M A S " MOVIES AS I CAN.

Marie finds her Christmas spirit reawakened when her mother begins sending her the family's Christmas ornaments. As each ornament arrives, it brings a positive change to Marie's life, including an introduction to the handsome man from next door.

This film makes some pretty tame choices however fine I am cool with that. What I expect from a "Christmas Film" this film delivers. Not the greatest but I enjoy the film for what it is. The film is "Magical"

Jessica Lowndes puts me in bad mood (hence the review). She needs speech therapist, acting lessons And new make up artist. Totally lifeless and annoying. Hard to imagine that some sweet handsome guy could be interested in her. Rest of cast good. Why would Brendan Penney agree to working with her? Hate to be negative. Hope she's independently wealthy. Forgot to mention that she never takes her dog out when she gets home. Boy, really annoying

This movie was just beautiful. I'm currently listening to famous Christmas songs and I think that's what all these movies are about, at least for me. A reminder of a "magical" time of the year.

Speaking of magical, the story with the ornaments was charming, I really appreciate having an original plot, even with the typical Hallmark elements that just can't be absent (like the -ex- boyfriend, and the main character only realizing things at the end)

Regarding the characters, does Brendan Penny have chemistry with all his co-leads? The chemistry was there and I was charmed by him once again. I did liked Marie but sometimes she just seemed off. However, I enjoyed her journey.

To sum up, this movie is average, but it does have a lovely plot regarding the ornaments. You should really watch it.

Marie finds her Christmas spirit reawakened when her mother begins sending her the family's Christmas ornaments. As each ornament arrives, it brings a positive change to Marie's life, including an introduction to the handsome man from next door.

I have said this before but Jessica Lowndes has had to many surgical procedures and she looks frighting. It is hard to be charmed by that. In fact its a distractions!
