Une maman pour Noël

This is a wonderful film for all the family. Its about an 11 year old girl called Jessica that spends a lot of time walking around a large department store watching other girls shopping with their Mums, Jessicas Mum died when Jessica was only 3 years old. Jessica gets a free gift from the stores wishing well & she wishes for a Mom for the holidays. Olivia plays a manikin in the store & comes to life at midnight to be Jessicas Mum till midnight Christmas Eve. My 4 children and I watch it every year and we love it. I first saw it in 1995 and I recorded it off the television. I would love to own this film on Video or DVD. Olivia plays an excellent leading role in this film. The film is packed with Christmas magic as well as being a love story. I have another Christmas film with Olivia playing the starring role, A Holiday Romance, which is another Christmas love story which we all enjoy.

I grew up in the 1990s and this one was one of my favourites! I just wish it was on DVD. A nice family movie!

Here is another great movie that unfortunately is not available on video. A truly touching story of a manikin that comes to life and restores the relationship between a man and his daughter and shows that you can't build your future, while living in the past.

I am A HUGE fan of Olivia Newton-John,so I might be Just a little prejudiced. But this sweet,Wonderful story about a lonely little girl's Christmas wish is classic holiday fare on par with It's a wonderful life! Jessica Slocum is an eleven year old girl who lost her mom when she was three. For the last couple of years,she would go to this department store to watch the other little girls shop with their moms,and wish that could be her. Well,through the help of some good ol'"magic" Jess get's her wish, and we get the best made for t.v. holiday movie ever!! There's also 2 new ON-j songs written especially for the movie!! This Xmas gift is funny, touching,and VERY moving!(

The only reason I'm giving this movie a decent rating is because of its affect on childhood. I do not consider it a quality film...

This is hands down the one film that has scarred me more than any other. And I'm a huge movie buff and watched countless movies as a child. The second film would be Ernest Scared Stupid. Followed by a few Tales from the Crypt episodes. The last one makes sense, but it was always the films that weren't even horror movies that really scared me in a deep way.

I remember the first time I watched this so vividly. I was at my babysitter's apartment around the age of 4. It was storming outside, much like in the film when the mannequin first comes alive (at least from what I remember). That first transformation had me covering my eyes and my heart beating extremely fast in fear. My mother looked like Olivia Newton John at the time and I imagined her becoming a mannequin. The whole idea of the mom in the film being so perfect and fake really scared me psychologically, especially knowing she was actually a manufactured piece of plastic who somehow acquired a soul. After seeing this movie I couldn't go to clothing stores. I kept seeing the mannequins coming to life. In fact I still see this sometimes when I go to the store, for a split second I will think they are real people and get a shiver down my spine. I might have thought this before I saw the movie and it may have been one of the reasons I was so afraid originally.

For years I couldn't remember the name of this movie. I searched for 'movie with a mannequin coming to life' and it kept giving me the 80s movie Mannequin. But I finally found this one and watched half of it on online in the middle of the night at my grandmother's. I was 23 this time and it still scared the sh*t out of me and I had to stop watching it. Its imprinted into my brain. It sparked a deep fear inside me that will never get out.

I was a very anxious child and would have nightmares every night. But I loved it. It gave excitement to my imagination and as I grew older I became obsessed with horror and the darkness in life. Nothing scares me anymore like the few movies and countless nightmares of my childhood. So I just want to thank the creators of this film for affecting me in such a positive way. There is no sarcasm here. But it is ironic that the idea of a film that is supposed to be so uplifting to some, can be so grotesque to others. That I think has been what has always frightened me throughout my lifetime more than anything mystical and fantastic.
