Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

First , for the effort of Kristin Davis to give credibility to a sketch of role. the second - for the meet with Shirley Mac Laine. not the last- because it is a Christmas film. it is unfair to expect too much from it ! like a soft blancket, it is not real beautiful , not the most inspired gift but it reflects a lot of good intentions. and this is the most important thing. that film is a good example. so, the old story, the love and second chance, the kid and the parents, colegues and the wise advises, dropts of Christmas story and a lot of not inspired scenes, cliches, bad humor and it is it. so, "A Heavenly Christmas ".

Eve (Kristin Davis) is a workaholic investment counselor. Very successful, she has sacrificed nearly everything to be a partner at a young age. Once close to her brother and his family, she sends her PA out to buy them gifts and squeezes in a few minutes with them here and there. Even after sharing a cab ride with an amazingly handsome man, Max (Eric McCormack), she isn't fazed, even though he seems to have eyes for her. Beyond that, her pushy schedule makes him lose a musical audition, as he arrives too late. Ah, but Eve is about to get a reckoning. One day near Christmas, she slips and falls on the ice. When she awakes, she finds she is in Heaven and being lectured by a talkative angel, Pearl (Shirley MacClaine). It seems that, yes, Eve has landed beyond the pearly gates but, her time on earth is not finished. Pearl instructs her that THEY are going back to bring happiness to a sad gentleman and his young niece. Wouldn't you know the man who lost his sister and singing partner happens to be Max? Can Eve truly change and focus on human relationships instead of work? What if she falls for Max and then has to go back to her Heavenly mansion? Wait, this is Hallmark, so there must be some secrets! What a lovely Xmas romance, another in the long, long line of beautiful, funny, touching Hallmark films. McCormack is one of those handsome, talented guys who is tailor made to play the romantic lead while Davis, very lovely, has a sweetness that belies her pushy role. MacClaine, too, is a treasure at all times while the young lady playing Max's niece does a fine job, too. Naturally, the film has been carefully made with great costumes, sets, a clever script and a touching direction. Maybe you missed this one during the rush up to Christmas? Look for it in the coming year as it is welcome any day, any hour, any month.

It may not be the greatest Christmas movie ever made but it is sweet. The Chicago Christmas scenes are pretty nice. Another review stated that Kristin Davis was too old for the part. Really??? Kristin is 51 and Eric McCormack is 53. Does that mean that people in their 50's or older can't fall in love? We are never too old to look at our lives and make changes! Yes, it is somewhat predictable but this one had a somewhat surprise ending. Hallmark movies are meant to be enjoyable and take you away from this crazy world for two hours. Christmas movies are fantasy! I for one was touched by A Heavenly Christmas and loved it. Who knew that Eric McCormack could sing? Not bad either! Enjoy the movie!!!

Kristen Davis has many fans because of her role as Charlotte York in "Sex and the City". However in this film she isn't playing Charlotte York she is playing Miranda the problem is the role seems to be written for someone in their 30's. Kristen is 20 years too old for the part. Now about the story! Upon her untimely death, a workaholic finds herself in training to be a Christmas Angel in Heaven. Despite being the worst recruit in the history of Christmas, she's assigned a hard luck case. As she's forced to help solve his problems, she'll start to discover the meaning of Christmas and maybe even fall in love along the wayThis whole movie however doesn't have a pulse. The tender moments fall flat. The romance has no sparks and the singing pushes away all plausibility. This is a film that borrows plots and plot twist from every Christmas film you can think of. If you are going to steel then yes "Steel from the best". The plot however never seems to jell. This is okay but not worth a repeat viewing!
