Romance secrète à Noël

Smart, funny, moving, spontaneous, these aren't always the adjectives I'd give some Hallmark Christmas movies, but this is one of the few that has all of that, and more. This movie clicks because of the chemistry of the whole cast - they seem to be truly enjoying themselves and at times it almost seems like they ad lib. Part of the fun is going along for the ride that this movie provides.

This movie is quite overly perky. The plot seems somewhat totally predictable which includes the sudden awaking at the end. There are some slow parts in the movie. Two sisters, who seem to be total opposites, have learned different lessons from their loving parents. Each sister makes compromises to find happy loves.

BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY REVIEW ONE FILM. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THAT PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 Christmas MOVIES. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM FARE ABOUT THESE FILMS.

A woman (Meredith Hagner)is getting the 12 Days of Christmas gifts by a mystery man. These gifts are coming while she is at her visiting parents home while planning her sisters Christmas Wedding. Just before her arrival she was dumped by her boyfriend a man she thought was going to purpose to her.

As a hopeless romantic who can't ever seem to give a guy a real chance begins receiving each of the "12 Days of Christmas" as gifts anonymously at her door. As she tries to figure out who is sending the gifts, she begins to believe that the mystery suitor could finally live up to her expectations.

What was nice about this film was it is not mean spirited. The main cast are people you do like from the beginning. Yes you can see what's coming but so what. Meredith Hagner is such a joy to watch that she elevates this very simple story.

Watch and Enjoy

As a couple, we love watching Hallmark Christmas movies and never miss one. We tried watching this together tonight, but my husband couldn't take Meredith Hagner's voice and perkiness. Now I'm the one with a thing about annoying voices, so it surprised me when he said it bothered him. So, we didn't watch it together, which is a first for us. I'm watching the rest of it by myself and don't find it to be too awfully bad. The plot is good, but Meredith Hagner is annoying, I'm sorry to say. I hope she won't be a staple actor among the Hallmark troupe of players because next year I'd really like to be able to see all the movies offered for Christmas. The rest of the actors were very good, particularly Gregory Harrison whom I've always liked since his soap opera days.

It wasn't bad, but the main character did become tedious to watch and horrible to LISTEN to. Where does Hallmark find these actresses who have voices like chipmunks? My 11 yr old granddaughter has a more mature voice. Makes it hard to take the movie seriously. She is supposed to hold a position of seniority as a career, yet she acts like a child. Ridiculous.

The story line was okay, although I found myself skipping forward to get through her absurd dates and vacuous search for Mr. Right among old boyfriends. I finally just zoomed to the ending. There are good actors in the movie that give good performances, but I just wanted to drown the main character to shut her up.
