It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

It's Christmas! Which means there will be an abundance of "mean person changes her ways" stories. In A Heavenly Christmas, two beloved television stars unite. . .and whatever romantic tension that was intended by the script fizzles miserably. Eric McCormack gives his all, and I dare any woman in the audience not to fall in love with him this holiday season, but chemistry can't happen with only one person's attempt. Kristin Davis either absolutely hated her costar (in which case, she should have implemented those acting lessons she desperately needed) or is just a terrible actress (hence being in need of acting lessons). For the life of me, I don't understand how any actress, when face to face with a lovelorn Eric McCormack, would be capable of such a lousy performance.My criticisms of Kristin Davis aside (which, believe me is never-ending), I'll definitely watch this movie again next Christmas. McCormack gives a wonderful performance, and at Christmas, I'm always more forgiving about less-than-stellar movies. It's not the best one out there, but give it a try and take the good from it! My favorite part of the movie (besides the eye candy) is Shirley MacLaine. Lately, she's been typecast as a "sassy, old broad" with gruff one-liners, but in this dual-role performance, she shows much more than a hard shell. In one of the roles, she's warm, friendly, and full of sunshine.

Not a big fan of Eric McCormack or Kristin Davis. Didn't watch much of either of their hit TV shows. However I found them both delightful and the movie one of the best Christmas movies ever on Hallmark. The plot is not unique in the least but it was different just enough to make it the best feel good Hallmark Christmas Movie so far. Trust me I don't say that lightly as some of the other movies that I have seen are great and the stars more my favorites. I give it a ten. This movie will please people in repeats for years to come. Good show Hallmark. Hope there is more this quality in December. I will watch this I am sure many more times in the coming years.

I wanted to see a movie that had a happy ending and made me feel christmasy inside and that is exactly what I got! I have enjoyed all of the actors in other films and t.v. shows. I thought Kristin Davis was solid as the workaholic turned Christmas Angel in training though I may have liked to see the workaholic side a little less sweet and cheerful. Eric McCormack was for me, for the first time, surprisingly crush-worthy and I thought the chemistry between the two was good. Who knew he could sing and play guitar?! The actress who plays his young niece is especially good! She is sweet but refreshingly real and a little goofy. Shirley MacLaine is really the cherry on top of this Christmas treat. Her "keepin' it real" style as the angel who trains the workaholic is great! It would be fun to see a sequel to this film that mostly follows her on her "training angels" job. The writer, Gregg McBride, did a beautiful job of weaving the story together with humor and kindness and, with a few call-back lines, makes us feel like we have a shared history with the characters. The film is sweet but not cloying. I thought the production values were great...especially outdoor scenes and scenes in the diner. If you want to watch a feel good Christmas movie, this should be your pick!

First off, you might notice the high score and think I am crazy. It is a Hallmark film. I rate films differently than most people. I rate them in their genre, so Hallmark Films are rated differently than films released in the cinema.Secondly, this film copies many other films. If you have seen any film where the person dies and the angels brings to back to Earth to do a good deed, then you have seen this film. If you have seen Heaven Can Wait, then you have seen this film. I like this type of fantasy film. Heaven Can Wait was one of my favourite films which i could watch over and over.All the actors do a great job at making their characters believable in the unbelievable. Shirley MacLaine is the same in everything. I think this is really a cute film for Christmas. It has all the usual Hallmark sappy hooks. In my opinion, this is a 8.5 out of 10, but we cannot rate it a half point, so i score up or down depending on the feeling. I could watch it again next year or the year after.
