Featured reviews
The movie has a bit of fantasy in it which added to its appeal. The story was very good and well done. The lead actress was very good as was the lead actor (I saw him in Dashing through the Snow- he was much better here). I especially liked the role of the personal assistant in this movie.
There it is a simple story with a few lead actors and some supporting actors and we have some success. I think they did a good job at defining the attraction of the lead actress. I would probably not mind watching this one again. My wife dozed a few times on this one but she was very tired. They did a good job.

Yes, this story has been done before but don't let that stop you from enjoying it. A woman makes an offhand wish and it's granted. Reminiscent of It's a Wonderful Life. Compared to some Hallmark movies, the characters were believable and had great chemistry. The acting, was well done, especially Nikki Deloach who played Penny and Andrew Walker, who played Stuart. Nothing seemed forced or fake. There was only character I didn't like and that was Jayne, played by Cindy Williams. Very annoying!
The story itself had a valuable lesson about appreciating what you have in life and the movie was warm and sentimental. I actually teared up at times. One of the better Hallmark holiday movies out there. Sure it was a bit predictable but not as much as you would think for this type of movie. Worth watching.

Nikki Deloach and Andrew Walker chemistry is out of this world. As soon as they on screen in any film the sparks fly. This movie is so different. I also loved Cindy Williams as the Angel.
Nikki de Loach is always a comfortable watch. She doesn't shout her dialogue, she doesn't act the ditzy blonde, and unlike a lot of Hallmark actresses, she can act. Casting more mature leads, is always a winner, - and who doesn't like Andrew Walker ?
The storyline is fairytale, but hey its Christmas and because the acting is ok its an enjoyable view for a couple of hours.

Facing some difficulties in her life a woman wishes she hadn't been married. She gets her wish granted and dreams of life without having married her husband and the consequences of having a successful career and no love. The concept is familiar but the execution is quite light hearted and well done.
The cast is likable and avoids the annoying nature of some Hallmark movies. Nikki de Loach is quite bright without being too perky. Andrew Walker plays her husband.
The lesson is to be grateful for what you have. The alternative could be worse.

- TriviaDuring the office Christmas party scene Penny speaks the line whilst watching Stuart walk across the room, "He breathes and smiles, smiles and breathes....if he doesn't notice me in the next 10 seconds, it's not meant to be." This is a similar line spoken by Holy Hunter towards William Hurt in the 1987 film, Broadcast News----with identical outcome....
- GoofsContinually referring to a Douglas Fir tree, but the tree(s) in the movie are Noble Fir. Painful.
