Le Pacte secret de Noël

I am in hopes that the other review, which gave this movie a low, low, low rating, does not discourage anyone from watching it. IMDB gave it a 6.7 rating, which I pretty much agree with. Although we all know how the movie will turn out, it is enjoyable to watch. I really like the actress who played the main character(s) and did not agree with the reviewer's disparaging remarks in that line, as well as other comments made about this movie. That said, I did have to do a little thinking at the beginning of each scene to remember which sister it was. I just personally liked the movie enough to counter the other review.

The best part of this film is it was not your typical Christmas film. When it says 'Switched', that seems not interesting. There are many films on that theme, so you might think you are exhausted to take a chance on this. But this is a good, a decent one at least. Even though, it revolved on a silly concept, everything was told in a much better way. I meant very maturely, without any fuss.

Chris and Kate a twin drifted away while growing into adults. Now on one Christmas eve they are brought together by their loving father. They envied each others lives, which led them to switch the place just for like a day as they did a long ago. But the following events made them stay a bit longer. For such deed, there's always waits a serious consequence to explode and how that affects these sisters are revealed in the climax.

Only recently I've checked out Candance Cameron's 'Aurora Teagarde Mystery' film series and liked them. So I was excited for this to see her one more time. A much better Christmas film I've seen in this season. Because usually Christmas themed films are overwhelmed with nothing but Christmas elements. This one happened in the backdrop of Christmas, but the preference was given to other than that. Forget about the cliches, but still it is worth a watch. Nothing like children's films you've seen on the same theme.

6.5/10

Not a fan of Candace at all, but I actually like this one best of all of hers. I'm sure another actress would have done better, but I enjoyed the story anyway. Probably because it doesnt involve the usual insipid Hallmark plotline - woman gives up her whole life and career in the big city to move to smallville for some guy she just met. Ridiculous. This film is just fun, which is what they should be.

I noticed in the goofs someone incorrectly mentioned a change of coats on the opening scene. That's two different scenes, the two different characters in two different coats. Unless they fixed a goof after first airing, do they do that?

Candace Cameron Bure is usually in some of the best Hallmark movies and this is one of them. The haters don't like her values and/or are just jealous bitter women. "No Meryl Streep" who cares? Meryl Streep has become a bitter old woman too! I realize the twin switch has been done, so what? She did a fantastic job and the leading men were great also. I don't watch Hallmark expecting to see these movies on the awards shows (not that I watch awards shows) I watch them to feel good and Christmasy. So watch and enjoy!

The movie itself is cute, but as a Denver native, the inaccuracies are ridiculous. First, some of the aerial shots weren't even of Denver. Second, while Littleton does have some outlying areas and a Main Street, it's a suburb of Denver. When one of the twins mentions wanting to get out of Littleton as a child - you hop in the car and are in downtown in 15-20 minutes, not an hour. It's not some small town an hour out of the city.
