I think Lifetime Channel needs to take a page from the Hallmark Channel when it comes to Christmas Movie Quality Standards: always begin production with a good story from the heart.
This movie was a mess - faulty direction, flawed script, cardboard characters and poor performances - I didn't believe any of them.
I love Christmas movies with Alicia Witt, but here she was manic and over-the-top. I fault the director and script because she's a terrific actress when working with good material and direction, even when it's not about Christmas. Check her out as Wendy Crowe in "Justified." Awesome performance!
I wanted to enjoy this movie and was looking forward to it. Now all I want are my 2 hours back!
