The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Watching movie Christmas 24 ..cosy, enjoyable movie. Just one quibble with continuity....when Jennifer takes Morgan to airport she is wearing loose dark purplish check jacket with grey scarf. When they return from airport (via toy shop) she is wearing fitted light grey jacket and royal blue scarf. Magical, eh? Apart from that, I really did enjoy the movie. Sometimes I almost felt as if Henry Winkler was ad-libbing, and if so, it worked. Whilst the plot is predictable I would not have had it any other way. A nice film in the run up to Christmas. Would recommend. Get out the popcorn and relax. It will help get everyone in the mood for the big day.

...And, I must admit, I do. Of course, there are few surprises in the plot. You know, as you start the movie, that the happy couple at the start of the movie is not the happy couple at the end of the movie, that the course of true love never runs smooth and so forth. So how do we get from point A to point B and is the trip worth it?

For me, this little TV movie is worth it, partly for the scenes of Brooke Burns coping in a brittle fashion with holiday stress -- negotiating for the hot Christmas gift on behalf of her son. dealing with manic Christmas-light neighbors or trying to figure out how to cook a turkey -- but mostly for Henry Winkler playing her goofy cop uncle from New York. Goofy humor is, all too often, the province of young actors. Older actors are all too often worried about their serious career and too embarrassed to play intellectually sloppy characters. Henry Winkler is still willing to take that risk and I am grateful for the chuckles. Watch this and you will likely be too.

These are the types of Hallmark movies I miss. That budding romance, terrific acting, amazing chemistry, and cute storyline. Everything flows naturally and as the movie progresses it just keeps getting better and better! Overall, it's such a great movie that feels different from most.

A delayed flight, a woman who's lost sight of what Christmas is all about, and a kindly Uncle all combine for this wonderful Christmas Hallmark film, that pulls you in and provides a lovely 80+ minutes of entertainment.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film, and thought the cast (including Henry Winkler no less) did a great job. The story line is sweet and funny, and actually has some important messages thrown in along the way.

There are lots of films that claim to be 'Christmas classics' that really aren't, but this is a worthy contender.

I am a sucker for Christmas movies. A Christmas Story, Home Alone, all of the old classics, I just adore them. They just get me in the mood for family, relaxation, and of course, the TRUE meaning of Christmas. This movie was no exception. I caught it for the first time December 09 during our first of five blizzards last year. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was funny, charming, good leads, a cute kid, a decent story, and Henry Winkler. His Uncle Ralph was great. I was able to catch it from the beginning this time, so I enjoyed it even more. It aired on Hallmark on Sunday and I plan on keeping it on my DVR through the season.
