Objectif Noël

I love this tender Christmas madcap crazy movie. It has heart, soul, compassion and it is cast beautifully with a diverse ensemble of talented actors. It's 2014 and it's about time we start watching movies that accurately represents the U.S.A. Kudos for the great casting! Carlos Gomez is perfect as the widower and father of a daughter stationed in Afghanistan. Loved it all! And, as a bona-fide dog lover, well, it's a home run!

Hallmark Channel movies are great but I hope to see more stories with diverse cast. Anne Heche is also great as the frazzled mom who probably wishes she could have a do-over and start the day all over again. Ever have one of those days where everything goes wrong from the moment you wake up? One Christmas Eve is one of those days. You'll laugh, smile, and rejoice in turning it all around... if only it could be.

I have been searching to see when Hallmark will show the movie again, sadly not the Christmas of 2017. Compared to the political climate this year, we need a break and this movie was a break for me and my family. It is 2 weeks before Christmas and this movie along with the family stories of the unusual things that happen at Christmas helped my kids smile a little bit. Too bad the general population spoiled that for us. I am just a grandma trying to make my grandkids smile a little.

A couple of janitors working late on Christmas Eve have a puppy dumped on them. They try to leave in on Anne Heche's doorstep, but one of them breaks his leg fleeing... and that's just the first disaster in this remarkably funny comedy from the Hallmark Channel's annual Christmas season of original movies.

Jay Russell directs his cast in wonderfully straight-faced performances as they struggle to get through this particular calamity, only to break an arm or be robbed at gunpoint in a snowstorm. Miss Heche's just-keeping-it-together-for-the-kids demeanor is very funny, and the mildly incredulous way Brian Tee as the doctor who keeps seeing the same bunch of shlemazels return to his emergency room yet again is fine. There aren't many laugh-out-loud moments, but no one tries for them. You will smile a lot as people manage to get through big and small problems and still be happy.

Its a little politically correct, but outside of that this is a hallmark Christmas comedy that will have great appeal to several groups of folks

--Most guys who are not afraid to be caught watching a hallmark movie, dog lovers, and people who are not hoping for a Christmas solve all problems romance movie

--Chemistry is good between actors, kids are not depicted as too spoiled, story line keeps U engaged, goodly amount of subtle guy humor, acting is pretty good, and LOTS of PUPPY !!

A perfectly delightful spin on the holidays. A divorced mother of two attempts to create a magical old-fashioned Christmas, but of course, the kiddos like most kids of this x generation want the latest gadgets and are angry because their oft absentee father is once again MIA. Through a series of parallel events, a recently laid off mall worker leaves a lost dog on the woman's doorstep. From there, mayhem and fun ensue as the said man slips on the ice and breaks his arm and the woman and her children drive him to the ER. From there and onward, many other individuals emerge on the scene and connect... well because of one extremely mischievous puppy. Each of them discovering that unexpected chaos can lead to some awesome memories and lasting bonds. Wonderful because it emphasizes families extend far beyond bloodlines. Well worth watching James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 12/20/2020
