A Heavenly Christmas (2016)

First , for the effort of Kristin Davis to give credibility to a sketch of role. the second - for the meet with Shirley Mac Laine. not the last- because it is a Christmas film. it is unfair to expect too much from it ! like a soft blancket, it is not real beautiful , not the most inspired gift but it reflects a lot of good intentions. and this is the most important thing. that film is a good example. so, the old story, the love and second chance, the kid and the parents, colegues and the wise advises, dropts of Christmas story and a lot of not inspired scenes, cliches, bad humor and it is it. so, "A Heavenly Christmas ".

It's Christmas! Which means there will be an abundance of "mean person changes her ways" stories. In A Heavenly Christmas, two beloved television stars unite. . .and whatever romantic tension that was intended by the script fizzles miserably. Eric McCormack gives his all, and I dare any woman in the audience not to fall in love with him this holiday season, but chemistry can't happen with only one person's attempt. Kristin Davis either absolutely hated her costar (in which case, she should have implemented those acting lessons she desperately needed) or is just a terrible actress (hence being in need of acting lessons). For the life of me, I don't understand how any actress, when face to face with a lovelorn Eric McCormack, would be capable of such a lousy performance.My criticisms of Kristin Davis aside (which, believe me is never-ending), I'll definitely watch this movie again next Christmas. McCormack gives a wonderful performance, and at Christmas, I'm always more forgiving about less-than-stellar movies. It's not the best one out there, but give it a try and take the good from it! My favorite part of the movie (besides the eye candy) is Shirley MacLaine. Lately, she's been typecast as a "sassy, old broad" with gruff one-liners, but in this dual-role performance, she shows much more than a hard shell. In one of the roles, she's warm, friendly, and full of sunshine.

This movie was well done. It was successful. The fantasy made it fun and there was a good surprise ending.The leading actress and actor were the main characters with a young girl in the mix (she also played on Operation Christmas). The actress was superb. Actor was great. Loved the change in the actress which added to the film.Definitely would want to watch it again mainly due to the actress. Enjoyed how they used the neighbors green Christmas sweater to show the change that occurred in our main character Eve. Oh yes Shirley McClain plays an angel who bends the rules.

First off, you might notice the high score and think I am crazy. It is a Hallmark film. I rate films differently than most people. I rate them in their genre, so Hallmark Films are rated differently than films released in the cinema.Secondly, this film copies many other films. If you have seen any film where the person dies and the angels brings to back to Earth to do a good deed, then you have seen this film. If you have seen Heaven Can Wait, then you have seen this film. I like this type of fantasy film. Heaven Can Wait was one of my favourite films which i could watch over and over.All the actors do a great job at making their characters believable in the unbelievable. Shirley MacLaine is the same in everything. I think this is really a cute film for Christmas. It has all the usual Hallmark sappy hooks. In my opinion, this is a 8.5 out of 10, but we cannot rate it a half point, so i score up or down depending on the feeling. I could watch it again next year or the year after.
