In addition to riding into the sunset on Hallmark-type Christmas movies, I'm also trying to make my way through the Chabert Hallmark catalog. I mean - why not?
So, apparently I'd seen this movie before about five years ago. I'd forgotten because apparently I watched it when I had the flu after a work trip (I very much remember being sick).
In this movie, Santa uses his fantastical powers to bestow Lacey Chabert with her Christmas wish of courage. This is coupled with a reckless sense of agency and a Zoom-In-Dolly-Out effect familiar to fans of the movie Jaws.
I don't have much to add to the post I linked to above.
I will mention that the lead is only two years younger than the woman playing his aunt, and I don't know why on earth Hallmark does this. Surely they could have dug up an actress who didn't look right as a love interest for our lead. I would guess the mom is less than a decade older that our lead as well.
The film also co-stars the woman who played Eve Tessmacher on Supergirl.
Chabert is Chabert, but they keep commenting on her earrings, which you absolutely cannot see under her hair. I don't know what happened on this movie, but that's a fixable problem. And it makes me wonder if they didn't have the earrings people keep describing as "Snowmen" or what happened. Do not insert details into your movie if they just raise unanswerable questions.
