Mistletoe Over Manhattan

Had potential to be great but awful story lines and awful acting

Mistloe Over Manhattan is a funny, insightful, heartbreaking, inspiring and revealing story. It brings back the truth of what the real meaning of family and the value that each person brings to the union, using Christmas as its central theme.

The message resonates throughout that we can be caught in our own selfish pursuit of success while seeking to find personal satisfaction; yet forget that it is right before us.

The story told is not unique in anyway, but one that I'm sure is shared by many. What a better place than New York which represents the hustle and bustle especially during the Christmas season. This is a great Christmas program for the entire family.

If you like genre fantasy its a good watch. Though wrapped up abruptly many a times that you even stumble.. still decores, lightening and family drama is worth watching. Adds on the protagonist's beauty that charms up.

A real 'Jekyll and Hyde' film, where there are some very emotional issues (family break up) mixed with pantomime-style humour. The latter mostly misses the mark, although the former shines, especially the great performance from Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica). If you can overlook the silly moments, you'll get to appreciate the moments of familial tension and tenderness.

I loved this movie and I recommend it for someone wanting to feel the Christmas spirit. We do live in a world these days where we need a little help remembering what is important in life and this movie does this in a fun way. I enjoyed the casting of actors in this movie. I thought Mr. and Mrs. Claus were a cute & believable match and so were all of the other main characters as well. Great for kids and anyone who will let themselves enjoy the magic of love.
