One Christmas Eve (2014)

I have been searching to see when Hallmark will show the movie again, sadly not the Christmas of 2017. Compared to the political climate this year, we need a break and this movie was a break for me and my family. It is 2 weeks before Christmas and this movie along with the family stories of the unusual things that happen at Christmas helped my kids smile a little bit. Too bad the general population spoiled that for us. I am just a grandma trying to make my grandkids smile a little.

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. I DO NOT HAVE AN AGENDA! I AM HONEST.This TV-movie is a great film! Made for the Hallmark channel and so it is family safe. In this film a recently divorced woman finds a puppy in her yard on Christmas Eve. At the same time she sees a man hurt on her property. She takes him (along with her kids and that puppy) to the hospital. At the hospital one thing leads to another. The puppy escapes and the a little boy goes chasing after him. And this is just the beginning.Anne Heche plays Nell Blakemore, a newly‐single mom who wants this Christmas to be extra‐special for her two kids. It turns out to be special, indeed, but it's not what she had in mind. Everything that can go wrong does go wrong. Chaos reigns in this entertaining comedy, and the notion of 'family' takes on a whole new meaning.I do not want to give too much more away but this film is one everyone can watch and find someone to relate too! The Actors are top notch and the film makes no mistakes! It is available on Amazon to buy!You should buy it if you do have kids under 12! They will love it! Don't wait until Christmas Get It NOW! Share with your family! Its the perfect film to have on while you are making cookies!

I love this tender Christmas madcap crazy movie. It has heart, soul, compassion and it is cast beautifully with a diverse ensemble of talented actors. It's 2014 and it's about time we start watching movies that accurately represents the U.S.A. Kudos for the great casting! Carlos Gomez is perfect as the widower and father of a daughter stationed in Afghanistan. Loved it all! And, as a bona-fide dog lover, well, it's a home run! Hallmark Channel movies are great but I hope to see more stories with diverse cast. Anne Heche is also great as the frazzled mom who probably wishes she could have a do-over and start the day all over again. Ever have one of those days where everything goes wrong from the moment you wake up? One Christmas Eve is one of those days. You'll laugh, smile, and rejoice in turning it all around... if only it could be.

this is the worst Christmas movie of all time. the actors were not believable. the poor dog wasn't fed or attended to during the entire movie. the group left a huge mess in the employee lounge at the police station. the mother was the most incompetent individual in the history of movies. there was no connection between the cast members. the dialog was lame. the situations didn't flow. the pending lawsuits inevitable after the glow wears off hangs over everyone's head. I cannot believe I wasted 2 hours of my holiday time with this drivel. I kept waiting for the plot to pick up someplace. WRONG! Even the kids weren't likable. A mother really thinks the screeching her daughter is doing will improve? and the boy has no personality. Please don't waste valuable family time with this movie. need I say more?
