Christmas Mail

As a postal worker, I had to try this movie. It was a really simple plot...a sweet romantic story with a happy end. It won't win any awards, but I liked it. The lead actor and actress were cute in their roles, and the added "mystery" of who this new girl really was made it more interesting.

It clearly was filmed in a postal facility, but it was super-unrealistic. The lack of mail at Christmastime was astounding, and there were way too many other things to list. It made me laugh, though, and realism certainly isn't required, especially in a movie like this.

Matt (AJ Buckley) is a postman and takes care of his niece. He has a demanding route for his postal deliveries but things brighten up when he meets bubbly Kristi (Ashley Scott) sent on a special assignment as a 'Santa Writer' whose job is to respond to letters addressed to the North Pole.

Kristi is a natural replying to the letters but the local post office boss is far from happy about Kristi and thinks Kristi has been sent by corporate headquarters to spy on him. He forces Matt to spy on her.

This is an amiable film, rather light on plot and the acting is a bit hammy. The leads are likable enough and it is hinted that Kristi might be Santa's daughter and really is from the North Pole. The climax is rather flat though but it makes for pleasant undemanding viewing.

When Matt gets kissed, you're gettin dissed.

And picnics are better on the floor.

Tell Christmas Reviewer that maybe he gets reported for spoilers like his spoiler on this movie. Even so, I won't officially report him.

This movie has a silly sense of humor and so many things are exaggerated. As a result, if you don't take the movie in the intended spirit, it will be hard to enjoy it.

It is a fun movie and there is a cute romance. Kristie is very fun loving and yes a little silly.

Pretty much everyone here can thank Drew Gooden for showing us this masterpiece. It's truly incredible.
