Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

If so, watch this film and drink every time the word "Christmas" is mentioned...

A Wish for Christmas is the perfect movie for the meek and mild this holiday season. Hallmark's Lacey Chabert stars as a classic pushover: she brings coffee for everyone in the office, does her colleague's work, and lets her boss steal her ideas. When she makes a Christmas wish for courage, her request is granted.Along the way in her newfound life, Lacey takes charge of her career and starts to fall in love with her boss's boss, Paul Greene. Paul has his own demons to face, and the upbeat and slightly pushy Lacey helps him return home to face them with his family. In typical Hallmark fashion, this movie is more corny than realistic. I mean, if you'd really spent your whole life being a pushover, could you tell people off and they'd accept it? But it's Christmas, so we make allowances for cheesy plot lines, tidy endings, and embarrassingly terrible Christmas caroling. Give this one a watch when it makes a repeat appearance on television; it's not the best but it's entertaining.

This movie starts out well, but then implodes. Sara is easy on the eyes, and her wish of being more confident is interesting and unique, but that plot device is generally wasted in the end. This movie has multiple violations of accepted and realistic corporate procedures. First of all, Sara is called a "junior web developer" who reports to the Director of Marketing? Wait what? Web developers design websites based on the input and instructions of the business, aka marketing people, they do not determine or direct corporate marketing strategy. Sara would be in IT, or in the .com department, NOT in marketing. Second of all, HR at this company has their hands full now since the CEO is openly in love with a direct subordinate, and he has promised her a promotion - which is not seen in the movie, which means it is inbound, which means everyone at the company would interpret the promotion as favoritism towards his girlfriend when it eventually happens. The whole thing of the boss getting the hots for his subordinate made me sick. The movie also spends WAY too much time in the middle bogged down in putzy conversations that do not move the plot forward, toeing the "should we really do this since you are my boss" line. I liked the jerk client at the end (he seemed the most realistic character in the movie), and they totally wasted Sara's reaction and capability in that scene. In the ending we get, the conversation we waited the entire movie for is not seen. Same thing with the CEO and his daddy issues. Of course his dad wants him to move to the small town and take over the family business - I've seen three Hallmark movies today and and two of them had this plot device, and it is really weak. Anyway, this movie starts out with great promise, gets lost debating if an attractive, young female subordinate should fool around with her boss, then decides skip over the juicy scenes and tie everything up in a way too short bow. I would rate this movie a C-.

Thank you to the other reviewers who wrote about the dissatisfying ending. I did the same thing, re-watching the ending to see if I somehow missed the conversations between the male lead (Peter) and his father, and the female lead (Sara) and the jerky client. How the heck did everything get wrapped up so neatly? And I agree that it certainly appeared that Peter would not have run after Sara at the end if she hadn't gotten the contract signed, since he was totally cold to her when she arrived. Wow. True love.And way too much wasted filler... for example, wouldn't it have been cool if the mother and daughter who Sara helped at the car rental agency turned out to be the client's family, which is why he had a change of heart??? As it was, it seemed like just a silly waste of time that could otherwise have been used to explain the "happy ending."
