    Cute Holiday Movie

    Do these people ever age?

    Melissa Joan Hart & Mario Lopez headline this Christmas flick where rival toy store owners come together to defeat an out of town Mega Toy Store owner from coming to town.

    This aired on Lifetime not Hallmark.

    Cute, although...

    It's a cute holiday film, and enjoyable to watch. But the plot is basisally You've Got Mail, just with toy stores instead of book stores. Enjoyable nonetheless.

    Melissa and Beth

    I gave this an extra point for reuniting Melissa and Beth. Likeable cast in slightly above average TV Xmas movie. Cute and sugary. The usual.

    THIS IS NOT A HALLMARK MOVIE!

    Gee whiz. Its crazy to me the amount of people that dont even realize what network they're watching at least 4 reviews on here said a hallmark movie. Did you not pay attention when you watched it? This is a LIFETIME MOVIE. Not hallmark!! How does someone not catch that when they're even watching it on the lifetime channel. It's not rocket science. This movie was ok...nothing real exciting happened. It was a cute movie but there was no depth. And these movies dont always need to give us depth to be good but I guess I'm saying it barely broke through the surface. It seemed more of a movie they just through together. It's definitely maybe worth watching once but not over and over. I live for these movies. It doesnt take much to keep me happy or occupied but the first part was slow and I only finished because I had to see how the movie turned out and because I love Mario Lopez and Melissa but again this is a LIFETIME movie NOT Hallmark.

    Ok...

    I'm a little bias because I grew up on Sabrina the Teenage Witch. The storyline is fine and it's a good movie to casually watch.

      In the close-up shots of the bobsleigh race, the trees are nestled right next to the rather narrow race course. In the long shots, the race course is much wider with the trees nowhere near the course.
