Lea Thompson holds together a weak film
3 December 2017 | by studioAT – See all my reviews

Known as 'All I want for Christmas' here in the UK this film/TV movie is watchable only for a likable performance from Lea Thompson, and then only just.

Using the tried and tested 'It's a Wonderful Life' trick, this is about a stressed out mother who wishes she could have a seemingly more successful and happier woman's life, only of course to realise that her own life was pretty darn great in the first place.

Lea Thompson shines, but everything else about this film is weak, from script to the acting of the other people involved.

I like Lea Thompson, but this isn't a great festive film.
