Featured reviews
Although this movie strives very hard to promote peace and good will, it is spoilt by the unbelievable storyline. The cast does its best against the odds, but even the greatest optimist in the world knows that life is not really like this.
Still, it is an entertaining concept - and if you can accept first the unlikely premise and second the fact that the "happy ending" is achieved by making almost all of the characters go against type - then I recommend it just for the feelgood ending. I must admit that I only watched it because of Tyne Daly (who still has the ability to command the screen) - and have to also admit that it hooked me to the degree that I only started to question it all after it was over.
A good way to muster up the spirit of Christmas - what more can we ask?

Jamie Gertz, Tyne Daley lift this into memorable status. I found a bunch of Hallmarks and picked this one for the actresses and to see, at age 67, if these commodity entertainments can work on me. Well most don't but this did. I think acting and production values are above typical also.
I loved it, laughed, just a pleasure!
I read reviews that say the plot was already in other movies, I don't care, this movie stands by itself in a big way.
I found myself truly engrossed in the story and the characters. You might consider it as a "guilty pleasure" movie but it's defin one worth watching.
Undercover Christmas was a fun,entertaining movie.Although the plot was not original,it did not lessen it's quality. The humor was clever,and the dramatic parts were touching. Jami Gertz and Tyne Daly were standouts,and although Shawn Christian did not get glowing reviews by at least one critic,I liked him in the role,and enjoyed several scenes in particular between he and Jami Gertz.
