Ghosts of Christmas Always

Finally something different from Hallmark! This was a really great movie. We all know the basic Christmas Carol story, but this take on it was very creative and a pleasure to watch. I loved all the actors, too. Some new faces, all much appreciated! The acting felt very natural; another departure from the often stale performances we've seen so many times from Hallmark. The writing was great, no huge holes in the plot or lame twists in the story. Just a feel good, fun and modern A Christmas Carol. Hallmark, please read all these reviews and you'll see where your loyal fans want you to take them.

We're all familiar with the cookie cutter (literally) Christmas tv movies that give us endless variations on the same 4 or 5 basic storylines. This movie is a refreshing change of pace, offering a unique & quirky take on the familiar Scrooge tale. The ensemble cast really clicks and the dialogue is snappy & brisk, the emotions are honest & believable. The ghost of Christmas past is a hoot and has some great one-liners. Of course there's a happy ending, but with a surprising twist. This is one of the most enjoyable Hallmark Christmas movies that I've seen in many years. A thoroughly entertaining and heartwarming story. Well done!

When I review Hallmark, I rate based on other Hallmark shows I've seen because that's what I hope for when I check the IMDB rating before I decide to watch a movie. I already know what to 'sort of' expect. This one is different!! Ghosts of Christmas Always is a definite must see. The script is so unique taking us on a 'sorta familiar' ride but then the twists and turns. The number of times I said "Wait a minute!?" and couldn't wait to see where the story was going to go next. The performances all deserves high accolades with a wonderful blend of heart and humour. AND of course Christmas magic. I loved this one! Bravo Hallmark.

It's become a yearly tradition to try and watch as many Hallmark holiday movies as we can. For the most part, 30 minutes into each, we can figure out how they'll end but continue to watch because Hallmark gives us that escape from reality and a good feeling. This movie hower, was so very different and had a great twist at the end. It had just about everything you could want in a great rom-com, comedy, romance, heartache, tragedy and a great finale!

The actors were great each with their own little quirks to pull off this fantasy of a story. We may have given this a 10 star rating but, when the movies was over we both had to think and talk about the ending and say, oh yes....that must be what happened. This was the best Hallmark holiday movie we've seen in memory. Highly recommend it. This is one we'd watch again to pick up on things we might have missed or just to enjoy it again.

I enjoyed watching this film which was not the typical Hallmark romantic formula, with a unique spin on "A Christmas Carol." In fact, they had more than one spin on the Dicken's classic. The four main actors were all engaging. The plot was a little more intricate than the average Hallmark romance, adding a couple layers of mystery. The ending was satisfying, but I wish they had explained a little better the mechanics of how it worked out the way it does. I might have given it a higher rating than eight, if they had explained just a little more. I still recommend it, especially if you enjoy hallmark films.
