Ghosts of Christmas Always

When I review Hallmark, I rate based on other Hallmark shows I've seen because that's what I hope for when I check the IMDB rating before I decide to watch a movie. I already know what to 'sort of' expect. This one is different!! Ghosts of Christmas Always is a definite must see. The script is so unique taking us on a 'sorta familiar' ride but then the twists and turns. The number of times I said "Wait a minute!?" and couldn't wait to see where the story was going to go next. The performances all deserves high accolades with a wonderful blend of heart and humour. AND of course Christmas magic. I loved this one! Bravo Hallmark.

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.

My wife and I have been watching the Countdown to Christmas movies for years. We love the familiar actors and storylines. The movies rarely get us out of our comfort zones. You know what to expect. And then a movie like this comes along and upsets the Apple cart in a most unexpected and enjoyable way.

Coming up with a unique twist on the Scrooge story is a challenge, and this film was up for it. The cast was great and featured mostly new to Hallmark talent. The chemistry between the leads was palpable. The script was filled with genuinely funny moments and created a believable take on a well known classic. I was bawling the first time I saw it. It brought me to tears the second time I watched it as well. This is the first Hallmark movie I have ever rated a 10.

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.

We're all familiar with the cookie cutter (literally) Christmas tv movies that give us endless variations on the same 4 or 5 basic storylines. This movie is a refreshing change of pace, offering a unique & quirky take on the familiar Scrooge tale. The ensemble cast really clicks and the dialogue is snappy & brisk, the emotions are honest & believable. The ghost of Christmas past is a hoot and has some great one-liners. Of course there's a happy ending, but with a surprising twist. This is one of the most enjoyable Hallmark Christmas movies that I've seen in many years. A thoroughly entertaining and heartwarming story. Well done!
