Un petit cadeau du père Noël

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 . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 300 HOLIDAY FILMS & SPECIALS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.

In the Lifetime TV movie Wish Upon a Christmas, tough-as-nails business exec Amelia returns home for the holidays. Not to celebrate Christmas but to help a family business from going under. Her initial plan is to fire people. But as she spends more time at the ornament company, she grows close to the people who work there including the company's owner, Jesse, her old high school boyfriend.

This film hits all the right marks and it does deliver. It is very charming. The only minor gripe I have is that the part of Ben was most likely written for a 7 year old. The part however is played by a child of 11 or more. He is a good actor but again it should of been played by a younger child.

The film is family safe. Kids might not like it but for fans of Christmas films this is a must see. I am glad I saw this one.

.

A widower's son asks Santa in a letter for someone special for his dad. Meanwhile, his Dad's old high school sweetheart, now a successful corporate actuary, comes to town to shut down his factory and the major employer in the charming old-fashioned town. With a little help from a distinguished old man with a white beard mysteriously come to town looking for a lost bauble, everyone gets their happy ending. this is one of the better entries of the season, thanks to some charming performances by the main actors. Aaron Ashmore and the young actor who plays his son are particularly winning. Amelia is well played as well, as is Mr. Tomptey (alias Santa Claus). The only weak link is Allan Thicke who has an unnecessary role as her father. He delivers his lines like he has been nipping at the eggnog one too many times.

It has been a long time since I saw a movie with a magical touch. The classic, fire people just before Christmas is always a good base to start off on. The bauble gave this stiry an interesting twist on other likewise movies.

What starts as a typical 'boy gets together with old girlfriend who is going to fire half the staff of his factory" turns into a charming story thanks to a missing bauble.

one of films who preserve and use it in decent manner. a story about hope and miracle and happiness, broken stuffs and feelings and fragments of past. Aaron Ashmore remembering a soft Kellan Lutz, Larisa Oleynik remembering Jennifer Morrison and Dylan Kingwell who seems, in the first scenes, more too old for the role of Ben but becoming the pillar of this comfortable story of Christmas. so, a film who can be criticized. because it its purpose is not exactly to be great or unique but a good, modest soup for soul. because all is soft and nice and the exact mix of honey, cinnamon and gingerbread. so, a nice film.as package for the Christmas spirit.
