Beverly Hills Christmas

I have seen hundreds of Christmas movies. I don't write reviews often, but I just couldn't let others suffer if I can help it. From the every first 5 minutes of this film, everyone can tell how horrible it will be (people about to get hit by an automobile don't press their bodies against the very same direction they will be getting hit by).

The worst part? (yes, it's about to get even worse), they are making a sequel to this movie.

It's a tragedy, the acting, the premise. The main Actress should be fined for torturing us with her horrendous acting. I thought it was a joke or a spoof. If you want to cringe and laugh, go for it. If you're actually looking for a quality xmas movie look elsewhere.

I was only able to see the last half of this film school reject. The only good thing about it was that it made me laugh out loud during the big climactic moment. "Cool!"

Angel Gabriel sporting aviator shades? Not a good look, but it turns out they were necessary for the "big scene."

Shooting the reflection in his shades for the "big scene" was pure artistic genius. I guess there weren't any puddles around.

The standards for these made-for-TV Christmas movies are minimal, but this one really lowers the bar. Directing, production, and writing are gimmicky and formulaic. How hard is it to make one of these things anyway?

I had to look this movie up to see if it was supposed to be a comedy, or perhaps has a cult following in the awful movies category.

This is a strange take on the person dies and becomes an angel with a mission trope.

Acting was bad almost across the board. People reacted to statements before the person was done speaking. Mean characters were one dimensional. Too many of them were brain-dead dumb.

The plot was convoluted and predictable.

Characters changed personality instantly.

One positive note - Ravin and Jerry are cute together.

I love a bad Christmas movie, but this? Just awful. On the plus side, the very fact that Donna Spangler is the lead 'actor' in this, gives all talentless people some hope....
