Really good Christmas film. For a free TV film, you will not get too much better. It keeps you interested, has good characters and the best thing is that a couple of times, the plot takes a turn that you may not be expecting.

The snow globe world is adorable and a little underused. It is a brilliant idea and enjoyable and well portrayed.

The gift of the globe did not seem to be fully explained and I didn't always feel that any of the relationships were well suited.

But it is well worth a watch.

6/10

Where do I start? The stilted acting? The constant grouching and bickering? The inconsistent relationship between the family members?

There were some really good/funny parts, but too many moments that weren't. I don't think the writers could decide if this movie was a fantasy or a comedy/drama.

The only definite is the fact that it was released for Christmas- other than that, it seemed to bounce from dysfunctional family story, to romantic comedy to Christmas fantasy.

I really wouldn't encourage anyone to watch it. There are plenty of other sound, well-written and enjoyable Holiday movies to watch.

BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 300 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.

Angela (Christina Milian) always wanted the perfect Christmas. But for her, anywhere is better than home for the holidays. When she receives an antique snow globe as a gift, it shakes up her life and transports her to a magical world where it s always Christmas. Now, she ll have to choose between the man of her dreams and the one she never imagined possible. It s a new kind of holiday romance!

What is nice about this film is that what looks like a perfect little world is not so perfect. The story gets a little tiring however there is enough cleverness to hold most viewers attention

The film itself is great, I watch it every year with my family. The storyline is magical, and it's very funny. Some scenes are unoriginal though, and you can tell they borrowed ideas from other holiday movies. Nonetheless, Josh Cooke is great in this film, and it is a good holiday film.

Overall, 6/10.

Unlike her family, Angela loves Christmas. When he receives a snow globe in the mail, he inexplicably ends up inside it. Soon he finds a way to get in and out of there whenever he wants. But the time has come to make a drastic decision to keep the magic in your life.

Very cliché and unpleasant forcing a 25-year-old woman to get married and have children, is that a traditional family? Jeez, it's even worse, right... Many things bother me in this "cute" Disney movie, at a certain point the protagonist wants her family to let her breathe, that she is so close to fulfilling her dreams, and suddenly everything goes wrong, she reports a lot of frustration, I feel empathy, it's more than a Christmas movie, it's about being yourself, your priority, always...

This had a decent score and the preview made it look better but it says 90 mins and it felt like a 45 min movie. Weird and it was very bad.

I really enjoyed this movie. It's a cute and fun holiday movie with a great message...when you search for perfection you may get more than you bargain for and perfection in the end turns out flawed.

Christina Milian shines in this movie and the entire cast is great. This is a holiday movie for the whole family. Great job Christina Milian!

The movie is a fun, charismatic approach to exploring the perfect Christmas in the eyes of Angela played by Christina Milian. Angela is in search of a perfect Christmas but she is frustrated with current circumstances.

This movie teaches you to appreciate what you have, cherish the family that you have (no matter how dysfunctional they may be) and make the best of your life.

Where do I begin to describe how truly dreadful this movie was? Can I rate it less than one star? The acting was subpar at best. I have seen Lorraine Bracco and Ron Canada in other movies and have thoroughly enjoyed them, but frankly they deserved better material to work with.

In the movie Angela has an interferring family which I suppose is meant to supply the humor but only succeeds in being annoying. The entire family enters her apartment whenever they feel like it. The lazy good for nothing brother-in-law sprawls on her couch to watch TV, as far as I could tell his only redeeming quality is that he is the father of the long awaited grandchild. Mom invades her apartment to cook and host family meals there. Poor Ron Canada doesn't add much to the plot at all. As I said he deserves better material.

I had hoped this would be an enjoyable Christmas movie, but alas I was destined to be disappointed.

The essential idea of the Snow Globe could have been entertaining but the writers just dropped the ball.

I would not recommend this movie to anyone who watches Christmas movies to be entertained. 90 minutes was just too long.

I found this movie absolutely delightful! -- who among us hasn't had a snowglobe with a wonderful Xmas scene that we wished we could walk into??

I also loved the contrast of the simple, innocent snowglobe people ( some of the funniest moments was their trying to cope with the world outside their globe) with the depiction of a VERY REAL slice -of -life Brooklyn , NY family--not your "Leave it to Beaver" family, but the way people REALLY behave. Some may find them dysfunctional, but I found them VERY REAL! I also liked the unique idea of making it an interracial family of the interesting combo of African-American and Italian. --a film I'll pull out and watch for holidays again and again!

When I read what this movie was about, it sounded silly, absurd and dishonest. Which of course it is, too! But then when I watched it, I was still seduced by it. Because it recaptured that Christmas magic that one could feel when one was a child, and still able to see a whole world in a snow-globe or a Christmas tree ball made of glass... A wonderful movie to help you get into the Christmas spirit! Also, the fact that Angela's real life is taking place in a big city in present times, and in a slightly dysfunctional modern family, makes it easier to identify with her.

I loved the innocent and healthy snow-globe world..! There were so many perfect images of Christmas in there, that I had to stop the movie several times just to watch them closely! I got some ideas for Christmas decoration next year as well! :-) ...but of course I also understood the message about stop looking for the perfect things that do not exist, and that you probably would get bored with quickly even if you could find them. And to be happy with what you have got in reality instead. Life does not have to be perfect to be wonderful! This is a wonderful Christmas movie to watch with your family. Both children, teenagers and adults will find something to love in it!

Snowglobe is a good movie! It's got such an intriguing storyline that takes many different turns. The acting is great and the Christmas aspect makes it all the more worth it. The love story is nice, not the best, but nice. But I will say, the leads family is awful. They put her through so much, it's literally ridiculous. Overall, it's a fun, different Christmas film to watch.

A fun Christmas film, fillies with music, snow In a snow globe, love interests and lasagna!

First of all, I loved this movie, second of all where on earth can I find a snow globe like this, i have searched every where, searched all the Christmas websites, but i cant find any like this one, please help :-)

This is by far the best film to ever be made. Its charming plot is perfect and a great observation of human nature. Some (more uneducated people) may say that the plot doesn't make sense and leans to heavily on the snow globe as an excuse for not writing dynamic and interesting characters, but the lady from Goodfellas is in it, and people like that movie, right? In all seriousness though, if you go in expecting dumb, mindless fun and a decent (Hey, I said my name!) novelty Christmas flick, a decent novelty Christmas flick is what your gonna get. As long as you don't take it too seriously, you'll also have Christmas lasagna every year.

I love it . For the idea, isles of humor, moral and Matt Keeslar as Douglas. For the fairy tale atmosphere slices and for the nice portrait of a chaotic relationship family.

I hate it for the superficial, deeply bad use of this idea. For the interest to use Christmas as axis, entire story becoming insignificant. And, sure, for the feeling to be a not script film , out of a genre, coherence or real purpoise . But, sure, after a hard work day, when you are really exhausted, it works.
