Call Me Mrs. Miracle

Quite refreshing to watch during the COVID-19 quarantine; while watching it, I never once thought of it. It's a "warm fuzzy feeling" movie as are all of the Mrs. Miracle movies. I highly recommend it.

Hallmark specializes in Christmas movies, and this one punches all the emotional buttons. Indeed, the story of "Miracle in Manhattan" AKA "Debbie Macomber's Call Me Mrs. Miracle" is like a large jigsaw puzzle that miraculously resolves into a perfect Christmas snow scene for the holiday.

Jewel Staite ("Firefly") plays Holly, a pleasant young woman who works for Lindy Lowe (Lauren Holly), a designer of women's clothes who is the prototypical horrible boss. Holly meets store manager Jake (Eric Johnson) and somehow bumps into him again and again. At the center of this Christmas tale is Mrs. Miracle (Doris Roberts), a seasonal employee at Jake's store who may be more than just the nosy interloper she appears to be.

Those who are suckers for sappy Christmas stories with benign paranormal forces at work will appreciate the heart in this TV movie.

Its's cheesy, predictable and cliché, but isn't that what you want from a christmas romcom? The acting and production is pretty decent, and if you are looking for a stupid, festive and sweet film, this is definitely the film to watch.

Beautiful film very romantic and brings up feeling of a happy time. Perfect for watching at Christmas when we all need a little magic, real life is so miserable and dull its lovely to escape to a film when good things do actually happen. I loved the character of Mrs. Merkle she was the sort of nosy old dear that we all love and listen to, without realising that she is helping us. Very well acted and lovable role. The relationship between aunt and nephew was great so true to life, aunt trying to care and do all the "right" things with healthy food etc then realising that the child is grown up and needs a friend. This film has true Christmas and family values and bring hope some lovely messages at a special time of year, including the fact that service men often miss these special times with their children. Well done after seeing this had to see the original film, wish they were on DVD.

10/10 - a good Hallmark throwback that will get you in the spirit and make you eek out a tear or two
