In My Secret Santa, Alexandra Breckenridge (Virgin River) plays single mom, Taylor, who disquises herself as a man to get a job in a ski resort . . . playing Santa Claus himself. It’s kinda like a Hallmark holiday movie meets Tootsie . . . or Mrs. Doubtfire. But, in this case, there’s the resort […]
Christmas Movie Review: Snowed Inn Christmas (2017)
What a delightful way to spend an hour and 26 minutes! Once again, Andrew Walker is making his Christmas movie appearance. Does the man ever get tired to saving some damsel in distress from herself? (I’m inserting a smiley face here.) Bethany Joy Lenz plays said damsel . . . and, before anyone from my […]
Christmas Movie Review: A Christmas in Tennessee (Lifetime, 2018))
Here we have it, the typical Christmas movie . . . but you’re gonna love it anyway! Why? Because not only does it star Santa Claus, but Mrs. Claus as well! Andrew Walker plays single real estate developer Matthew who has been sent with his assistant to a small town in Tennessee to close a […]
Christmas Movie Review: Fallen Angel (2003)
I have watched this movie every Christmas (and sometimes when it’s not Christmas) for eons. It is, after all, 22 years old. The movie begins when Terry McQuinn (Gary Sinese) is a young boy living with his widower father, “Mac.” Since the death of his wife, Mac has built a wall around his heart, shutting […]
Christmas Movie Review: A Cowboy Christmas Romance (2023)
This is definitely a Lifetime romance Christmas romance movie. Yes, I know I used the word “romance” twice. And I’ve watched the movie twice, too. I really enjoyed it. The acting is great. The storyline has depth. And the cowboy is . . . a cowboy. This is totally “home, home on the range . […]
Christmas Movie Review: Let it Snow (2013)
Let it Snow popped up on my YouTube recently. I love Candace Cameron Bure, so I thought I’d give it a looksee. I’m glad I did. The storyline is typical of most Hallmark Christmas movies, but there is enough depth in the story to keep the viewer’s interest. I may have even had a tear […]
Christmas Movie Review: Christmas Plus One (2022)
“From the moment you were born,” a wise woman once told me, “and from the moment he was born . . . God began to move you toward each other.” Those words of wisdom came from Joan Zimmerman whose true story I told in my book Five Brides. Thus is the story also found in […]
Christmas Movie Review: Last Christmas (2019)
I saw the ad for Last Christmas several times as I opened up Netflix and, given what I saw, decided it would be my next review. I knew it wasn’t going to be a typical Hallmark-type Christmas movie, but I thought it was good to stretch a little in my holiday viewing. After all, not […]
