Magical Christmas Shoes

What gets me & know a movie, why wearing open toe shoes & no stocking? It's winter snow on ground. I thought was getting little girl skates.

When does she sleep, decorate all night, thn goes to work, which is like right next door. They're neighbors but never seem run into each other outside house.

These reviews really kill me with having to be 600 characters. There really isn't that much to say. I just wanted to leave a comment and keep it moving. Okay 142 still Okay, I'm from Boston, Patriots, and been living in Georgia for about 20 years, haven't been back except maybe twice, but will always be home to me. Will NOT claim GA.

Loved this one. Good connection between couple. Held my attention. Nice story, a little different at last.

Despite it not being one of the most inspired of titles, the premise did sound quite charming. Also saw 'Magical Christmas Shoes' for two other reasons. One was my love of Christmas. Two was that it was part of my Lifetime (and Hallmark) Christmas film completest quest, despite their 2019 output being such a mixed batch with some good, some mediocre at best and some somewhere between average and decent. A better standard than Hallmark's 2019 output.

'Magical Christmas Shoes' to me was one of the good ones. Was a bit unsure about it at the start, not uncommon with Lifetime Christmas films in the better faring category, but once the film started to warm up and find its footing it got a lot better. From personal view, 'Magical Christmas Shoes' when seeing it some months back was among the better 2019 Lifetime Christmas films quite easily, better than most of their films this year and certainly better than much of Hallmark's 2019 Christmas output.

The film does start off on the slow and formulaic side.

Some of the dialogue is also pretty bad early on too, sounding a little stilted and corny.

However, as said, once it got going (and it did so not too far in) 'Magical Christmas Shoes' got a lot better. Visually, it looks good in particularly the scenery which is nicely complemented by the photography. The music is pleasant and not intrusive, not always the case with Lifetime (even more Hallmark) films. The script is far from perfect, but is sweet and raised a number of smiles while not being too heavy on the sentiment. The story isn't perfect to begin with, but is mostly very charming and warm-hearted with an authentic atmosphere.

While the characters are familiar in type, my way of trying and failing to avoid the word cliched, they to me had personality and ones that didn't come over as stale or annoying. The central relationship didn't feel rushed, so less of a chance of out of the blue motivations, or take too long to unfold, and was amiable. Erin Karpluk and Damon Runyan are fine in the lead roles and well supported by everyone else.

Overall, well done and charming. 8/10

Like many Christmas films, just nice. The axis - a seductive idea about shoes and about choices. Romance, options, friendship and decent performances. Nothing original or spectacular but smart manner to use pieces of the genre for a not so bad film about signs, grandmother, mistakes and the fair to yourself way.

It's a charming story, a cute twist on the same old boy meets girl.

Are the shoes really magic though? Or are they more of a curse? I need some if they can help. I'm actually quite good in heels and I particularly liked the purple knee highs.

The film is full of happy festive activities and you can see the romance blossoming quite happily.

Damon Runyon is quite appealing and easy on the eye too.
