Daisy et le miracle de Noël

Really did like the premise for 'A Christmas Miracle for Daisy', no make that love. It sounded so moving and you know a film does something right when its premise immediately connects with you even before watching like it did with me. This premise connected with me personally, which is already something in its favour. Something that has not been the case for any film in a while. Of all the GAC Family films seen so far, this has the most relatable premise.

'A Christmas Miracle for Daisy' manages to be one of GAC Family's best films so far along with 'Much Ado About Christmas', their output has been a very mixed bag but some of it has been good and more and 'A Christmas Miracle for Daisy' is one of them. And one of the few to live up to its full potential and come close to exceeding it. It may not be a flawless film, have seen very few Christmas films or films in general that have fitted into that category, but it is one of the better ones seen in recent months.

Beginning with what could have been (a little) better, Perhaps a bit slow in the early stages, with it taking a while to get started.

Did feel too that the misunderstanding was on the predictable and forced side.

However, so much is good about 'A Miracle for Daisy'. It is very professionally filmed and the locations are simply beautiful. It isn't overscored, too constant or too loud, refreshing as this has been heard a lot by me overtime in film and television and it is tiresome really. The script is a lot less cheesy and schmaltzy than most Christmas films and did find it very sincere, very affecting and that it never sounded awkward. It is also not over-serious, with a light hearted-ness that was very appealing.

The story is gentle pace-wise but still engaging and heartfelt, it also warmed my heart and inspired me and handled a very personal true to life subject sensitively. The characters were worth connecting with and the film is well acted. Jill Wagner and Nick Bateman gave very honest and confident performances and can't wait to see more of Rubi Tupper, whose cute and natural presence makes for one of the better child acting performances in the past few months.

Summing up, very well done. 8/10.

Pretty much the usual Hallmark Christmas stuff but on their new competition - GAC Family.

This movie has no great highs or lows or surprises. There isn't a lot of dramatic tension. The Misunderstanding is a bit lame but follows the usual lines.

The acting is OK. The standout is Rubi Tupper as Daisy. She does a great job without overacting. So many Christmas movies get a boost from a well-done child in the mix.

Let's face it. A lot of longtime fans of Hallmark are ticked at them for going woke. GACF appears to be a breakaway promising to stick to the traditional ways. The old fans are rooting for GACF. But this movie, like pretty much all the other Christmas 2021 GACF offerings, was decent, family oriented, but nothing great. The same is true of most of the other 2021 offerings from Hallmark, UpTV and Lifetime. I didn't think it was a great year. However in my opinion, the few standouts there were in terms of sentiment and pure entertainment happened on one of the Hallmark channels or Lifetime.

First, stop reviewing movies like they have anything to do with GAC. These are all acquisitions that GAC has nothing to do with. Second, I would suggest Jill does whatever she can to claw back to Hallmark if this is how it's going to go. Insanely boring, no stakes, where is this miracle that the title mentions?

OMG! Jill is back and she didn't disappoint! The casts are well-chosen who played their roles extremely well. The story touched your heart that miracles do happen. I am blown away and could not believe that this is the first for Rubi. I can see a bright future for this girl in many movies. She was so confident. Nick and Jill had awesome chemistry. I hope to see them again in future movies.

Thank you GAC!!!!!

One more movie like Hallmark used to make. The story is simple, with a touch of Christmas spirit. The delivery is straightforward, with no hidden or intrusive messages. The entire cast works well and the lead actors, Jill Wagner and Nick Bateman, render their story credible. Rubi Tupper, playing Daisy at her debut, is super cute and a joy to watch. The film offers no striking moments or sensations. Just a world of nice people with kind sentiments and a little help from Santa. This is the kind of shows that leave you feeling better inside, as you expect at Christmas time.
