A Shoe Addict's Christmas (2018)
Good, But Ignore the Description
I enjoyed this movie. Hallmark Christmas movies can vary from terrible to very good. This was one of the better ones. But don't make your viewing decision by reading the IMDb descriptor. It makes it sound like a Dickens remake. This is clearly inaccurate. Noelle is not a person who hates Christmas. She is just an individual who has not come to terms with her mother's death. She needs a little supernatural help, which she gets. But it is not your typical Christmas Carol. Other than her guardian angel, there are no spirits. Just examples of times in her life when she failed to take advantage of opportunities for happiness. So enjoy the movie, but don't expect any Ebenezer Scrooge moments.
A Carol Christmas (2003)
Where to Begin?
I've watched a lot of Christmas movies. I love them. I love the classics. And I've come to enjoy the Hallmark movies. I've watched quite a few, and they range from OK too pretty good. But this one is a train wreck. It guts all the emotion out of the Dickens version of a Christmas Carol. The writing is him listed, and not worthy of its source material. The actors were in a losing proposition. There was not much they could do with this terrible script. So watch some of the other heartwarming movies this Christmas, but don't waste your time on this one.
