    The "reviewers " were the worst

    The movie was great ,very entertaining and enjoyable, so Santa wasn't an old man ,so what . And about I95 interstate or whatever ,I live in Pennsylvania, i have no idea of the route numbers . Is Shakespeare perfect ? Try watching Romeo and Juliet or As You Like IT . I'm 83 did Shakespeare on the stage . Get a grip . I could watch again and again

    Less then expected

    I didn't really feel the chemistry between the actors. Also the storyline had some glitches for me, such as the whole "i want too décide my own life", the parents never really spoke nor pushed him. There was no back ground on the characters to better understand them, so I felt it a bit harder to engage with them.

    Finding Your Bliss

    This Hallmark holiday romance features Jodie Sweetin ("Full House") as Grace, the person in charge of a small town's Christmas celebration, including the parade. Everything is on schedule until the town's Santa breaks his arm. Grace auditions many possible replacement Santas, but she deems them "unsuitable." There seems to be only one solid choice to don the whiskers this ho-ho-holiday, but he may be unwilling. What will she do?

    Sweetin is adorable in this role. She is cast opposite Eric Winter, who plays Ben-the son of the sidelined Santa. If you are familiar with Winter's character on "The Rookie", this role shows an entirely different personality. The two of them work well together.

    Though much of the story is formulaic---including the subplot about finding one's passion--- it is nevertheless a heart-warming seasonal offering.

    reasonable

    The presence in cast of Dolores Drake was the basic temptation to see the film. A very easy story, charming unrealistic situations, the Christmas in a small town, , nice demonstration of eggnog make and not bad ugly sweters, the line between duty and happiness and some romance. The beginnig, in which Jodie Sweenie propose a real disagreeable character was one of the good parts of film, film, basically, about a mission and a legacy. But a good looking Eric Winter and a reasonable Santa proposed by Jay Brazeau are good options for see it without be real disappointed . Enough for easy fun after hard work day.

    So When Is Your Life, Your Life?

    I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 400 (C H R I S T M A S ) MOVIES AND SPECIALS.

    SO PLEASE BEWARE OF SOME REVIEWERS THAT ONLY HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I REVIEW MOVIES & SPECIALS AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN! I HAVE DISCOVERED MANY GEMS IN MY QUEST TO SEE AS MANY " C H R I S T M A S " MOVIES AS I CAN.

    Not exactly a typical Hallmark Christmas Movie. This film has more substance then most of the Hallmark Christmas Films.

    In this film is the annual Christmas Parade and Grace is in charge and has to find a new Santa for the parade. Its the 50th anniversary and the towns parade is going to be covered by a live television broadcast. The usual Santa Claus can not do it this year because he just broke his arm.

    Grace finds out that one man named Ben would be a great Santa but there is major problems. Ben is the son of the towns Santa but he wants nothing to do with the family business. Grace is trying very hard to get him to play Santa. When she finally meets Ben, Grace learns the hard way that she may not be making her own choices about her own life.

    Not exactly a family film but it is a family safe film!
