When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Loved Meredith Hagner in this movie. She carries the humor, fun and emotion. If the lead was not excellent, this movie would have failed. Her character is full of life, she is highly opinionated and doesn't back down. I have seen her in "My Christmas Love" which was a boring movie. She is the main character in this movie. She is in every scene. The movie is about her character. Well done.The cast was small and excellent. Travis Milne played the perfect guy. The little boy was absolutely adorable. Loved the role of Victoria (the girl who is not right for Charlie). She googles the song guessing game in order to look good. Enjoyed seeing Beverly Mitchell (Lucy from 7th Heaven) grown, without the blonde hair.Very enjoyable. Gwen driving the classic car fit in very well. Some scenes lacked transition or this may have been a 10.

Loved the movie. Story was terrific. Actors were very good. Gwen, the personal shopper was beyond great. I got totally got lost in the story and fell in love with Gwen, too. I feel like she changed me just by my watching the movie. She cares so much for everyone else and tries to please them. Makes me want to do that, too.This is one of those very rare special movies that changes you. I've seen it four times now, and I'll watch it again and again. It's the epitome of why I love Hallmark movies. Just pure clean fun.

Personal shopper Gwen's new client Charlie is a workaholic, single father. Charlie likes things very simple, black suits, basic ties and thinks a mug is a perfect Christmas gift. The assistant however is almost like a hippie. Because "A Gift Wrapped Christmas" managed to focus in on one of the most frequently frustrating aspects of celebrating the holiday: shopping for Christmas gifts. Gwen (Meredith Hagner) is the perfect personal shopper, and she manages to always find exactly what her clients need.RELATED: 'SNOW-M-G': 'Northpole: Open for Christmas' is a 'dazzy' of a Christmas movieOf course over the course of "A Gift Wrapped Christmas," Gwen learns how to not just buy the perfect thing, but look for love. But when the

I gave this one a "10" on my special scale for Hallmark movies. This one is set apart by the writing, the enjoyable characters, and most especially, the casting. There are probably 5 or 6 basic plots for these things. This one is the closed down/sad widower with a child who needs our heroine (Gwen) to reawaken him and save his relationship with his kid. No the plot is not original, but I judge the good writing in the little details. The relationship between our heroine's sister (the wonderful Beverley Mitchell-so glad to see her again!) and her husband was fleshed out and added to the enjoyment. The appearance of the Mom at the end was a nice touch and added to the depth (don't laugh) of the story. Gwen was cute, funny, charming, quirky, and so very likable. The actress was another Meg Ryan at the height of her romantic comedy powers. She was an absolute delight. Don't ever change. The Dad was handsome and appealing, making his journey from cold and hostile to warm and open fun to watch. The villainess was very scary. What more could one ask for? Great Chemistry between the two leads, that's what. And yes, it delivers there as well.
