Une mission pour Noël

Sometimes I think reviewers ignore the genre of film they are reviewing: this is a TV-Christmas movie, with thwarted romance, second chances ... all the plot items you expect when tuning in Hallmark or ION in December. Two things set this apart: the characters are likeable, or course, but there is no "bad" boyfriend or girlfriend here. Secondly, the ending, which I will no spoil, was completely unforeseen and done very well. By the way, the heaven gate-keeper was also done really well. Look, everyone knows they are making a cheesy film, and it takes work to play these characters "straight." So I applaud the actors and director. Bottom line: I liked it.

It was sweet and heartwarming. Yes, there were cohesive issues. But, If you just want the holiday feels and you have 90 mins to spare, this is definitely not a waste of time.

BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.

A good Samaritan is killed before Christmas and is granted the chance to return to Earth to help a needy soul. The needy soul we find out is her ex-boyfriend who she broke up with on Christmas Eve a year prior to her own passing.

The film quickly establishes its rules and you buy into it however the ending makes zero sense. This harms the movie and it ending makes the whole movie a failure. Had it stayed true to its rules then the film would have been one of the better television films of the past few years.

I loved this movie! The witty humor was so cute and funny. I loved the part where she says "Hey wait a minute, how come he gets to go in? The lady says "don't you know, all dogs go to heaven". Lol!! The only thing I didn't like was the girl her old boyfriend likes. I couldn't understand why Sarah wanted them to be together when she still had feelings for him.

This is a hard movie to rate now. I am not a big fan of...let's refer to them as, "holiday romance movies"; preferring the Christmas Classics that became classics because of their Christmas magic. But this one looked like it was worth watching because of the fantasy aspects of the storyline. I was enjoying it (yes, it's not Oscar material...big deal), then BAM !!!!! who the hell came up wih that ending? I have to agree with one of the other reviewers, that the writer is the one who needs to be thrown under the bus. What a last minute disappointment, spoiled the whole movie.
