Beverly Hills Christmas

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....

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.

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 give holiday movies a lot of leeway. But this one was irredeemable. The woman who produced, starred, directed, employed her family, and flushed the toilets afterward was nipped/tucked/puffed within an inch of her life. Her daughter was cast as a queen bee mean girl but really, just so homely and stiff it was embarrassing. And Dean Cain - c'mon. Stop with the Christmas movies or at least lose weight and shave. He looked like he just got off a 2-week bender.
