L'ange de Noël

My main gripe is, if you're gonna make a movie based around an angel one of the characters has made, cant you at least make a pretty angel? She was probably the ugliest angel I've ever seen.

Also, the female lead made so many annoying faces, and the plot was fairly predictable.

But it wasn't all bad; a watchable TV movie.

Thank goodness there is no business to save in this Hallmark Christmas movie. An aspiring writer researches a story about her Great Grandfather and an actress. The historical element is quite interesting. In present day she has an artist chasing her. He wants to give up a huge career opportunity for her. But she has to make a choice. Things link up nicely.

Jennifer Finnigan is pretty and a good star for this kind of movie.

Highly recommend watching this movie. The mystery behind the carved angel in the story exceeded my expectations. The summary indicated that the angel was a rather dull thing. The wooden angel linked events that occurred in 1926 with the current characters and that story was slowly revealed during the movie. Well done! The cast was great. I saw Jonathan Scarfe in "Love on the Air (2015)" and that is what got me to watch this one. Glad I did. He played a similar role here. First time I've seen Jennifer Finnigan and I enjoyed it. Wanda Cannon (Val Stanton on Heartland) played the mom and this was about the best role I've seen her in. She was very effective. This movie was a delight to watch. Not sure if I'll watch it again because I now know the 1926 story. Not quite a perfect 10 because of a few issues in revealing the 1926 story. Loved it though.

A woman is gifted a wooden Christmas Angel that has been passed from generations and sets to write a newspaper article about the history of it. The angel was originally made by her Great Grandfather for an actress that he loved, but their love never worked out.

The angel has had a hand in her grandparents meeting and also in her parents meeting. So her mother is hoping the same ending for her.

The potential love interests include an artist with a love of Christmas and a coworker who eschews Christmas and all it entails.

Cute concept and movie.

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

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 AM HONEST! 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 Christmas MOVIES AS I CAN.

In this movie a woman's life changes in unexpected ways when, in the process of writing a newspaper article about her family's heirloom Christmas ornament, she meets an enthusiastic artist. The heirloom seems to bring people together. Our protagonist is someone who isn't looking for love but is not against it either.

The film is one of those you should watch on a cold December Night. It is a very romantic but predictable.

This film however is better than the average Hallmark movie. It has some very pretty settings and a story that will spark something even in the most cynical viewer.
