Isadora swann 20187/23/2023 You have to listen very carefully to what is being said. From here it opens the possibility to deal with loss and relationships in a lighthearted but sensitive way that engages the viewer in a clever little story. Being flooded with material wishes, he is touched by the letter expressing matters of the heart, so responds equally in a way to give hope. responding to children's wishes in an effort to rekindle his enthusiasm for writing after a bitter divorce. It just so happens that a young, successful writer is assisting Santa Inc. Having handed the letter to the postman it finds its way to Santa Inc., run by two charming but eccentric older ladies. The story revolves around a girl of 8 who has lost her father, so writes to Santa about her concerns and the wish for her mother to smile again. Since this is the first film I watched in this season, I did find it good and looking forward for other titles. Being a television film, it's not so bad. The casting was good, nice production as well. But still it is, particularly for the family audience this would be a much effective film, and to watch during the holiday season. I lost interest only in the final act, they should have avoided the drag, otherwise this is a decent film. This story was not bad, particularly in the first half. But the conclusions are dead easy to predict, because they always have a happy ending. Almost all the Christmas films are kind of similar, especially in romance theme. The remaining film is to disclose how the story ends. Between his two identities, revealing what he actually is what becomes challenging. But when he decides to meet them in person, the reality is different than what he thought of them. It will be received by a struggling writer, who replies in the name of Santa and so on, they become pen pals. This is another romance themed Christmas film that is set in a little town where a young girl writes a letter to Santa wishing her mother to find love and happiness again. Now mine begins with this, especially Hallmark's films are special in this trademark. So basically you can't escape from watching at least couple of them in a year. It's already a Christmas season, the televisions are packed with those themed films. In fact, I even looked up the writers and am seeking out more of their movies. This movie goes to the top of the heap for me. There are a few Hallmarks that stand out due to really good scripts - I love Seven Year Hitch (2012) and Naughty Or Nice (2012). The ending with the magical Christmas barn and sleigh was tongue-in-cheek about all the Hallmark Christmas smaltz, yet in a fond way. Brilliant! Then there's the heroine's Hemingway-themed cafe, called The Bun Also Rises, with menu items like To Ham and Ham Not and The Old Man and the Tea. Randy is such a crazy guy, he practically deserves a series of his own. The heroine's sister's husband and his buddy, Randy, are obsessed with a potato shooting contest. I *loved* the various side characters like the hero's best friend, who is always making sarcastic quips about marriage and kids (but really loves his own family). But what makes it so much better than average is the humor in the script. The lead actors are appealing, the romantic chemistry is good, and the premise of the little girl writing to Santa, who writes back and then falls for the mom-that's all good. I watch a lot of Hallmark movies and enjoy them, but it's always a great pleasure when one rises above the fold and turns out to be much better than expected.
