Not Great but Not Bad
BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA. In this film a wealthy collegian (Keshia Knight Pulliam) and an angel-in-training work together to organize a holiday concert for a youth center. The college student has skated by on everything her entire life because her dad "paid everything off". When she thinks she can just buy a college diploma she is mistaken. She has one teacher that is about to fail her. So she has to pull herself together complete all her missing assignments and write a mid term all over her Christmas Holiday. This films screenplay is not good. It goes all over and never really focuses. The best part of the film is near the end when the "Christmas Choir Sings". Family safe but watch something else!
Limited Acting Range Fir the Former Child Star
Keshia Knight Pulliam was a cute child actor in the "The Cosby Show". She must had had a good family because she is a child start that did seem to stay out of the tabloids during her teen years. This is the first project I have seen her in that she wasn't a child. She was great in "Polly" and "Polly Coming Home" but again she was a child. Her she is 20 Something spoiled rich girl. She can mean okay but she can not play "redemption". Her range of being an actor is not much. She is not very good. I think this film would have been better had they cast somebody with more talent than Keshia! In this film she plays a wealthy collegian and an angel-in-training work together to organize a holiday concert for a youth center. The story really has no major pay off and none of leads keep you interest enough to carry you to the end of the film!
Don't Waste Two Hours of Your Life!
This was about as saccharine sweet as they come with plot holes big enough to drive a truck through. At first, you don't understand why Mr. Turner can't pick up his daughter and later, it kind of filters in that he is a very busy man. Then you have Tre, the "would-be" angel (ripping off It's a Wonderful Life" here) who isn't allowed to fall in love with the person he is sent to help (portrayed by Keshia Knight Pulliam) but does anyway. The angel in charge of him tells him it will be too painful for both of the parties involved. And at the end, all he says is ,"Yeah, you're right. It does hurt." As Keisha's character, her is a guy she has supposedly become attracted to and she just says "See you around." He leaves and that's the end of the movie. There was a story somewhere in there about saving a foster home for some kids but it just served to move the rest of the story along. Poor Tom Bosley - he must be hurting for money to be roped into doing this! The only "positive" I would have for this movie is that I thought Ms. Pulliam looked gorgeous and that's coming from a straight woman who grew up watching her on the Cosby Show.
Sweet and Unique!
I have never seen a movie like this before on regular TV. It was so nice seeing African American characters I could relate too. Layla and her brother reminded me of me and my brother growing up. It was nice to see "Lil' Rudy" acting again and I never knew Ray J could act either. As a hip rendition of "Scrooge", with a street wise angel attempting to straighten out the attitude of a spoiled brat, I really liked their chemistry. And as a teacher, have no problem sharing this movie with my students.
A painfully horrible movie...
Hey, we all loved 'Rudy' and gladly accepted the sub-par acting due to the fact that she was so young at the time. But that was a long time ago. For those of you that did see this movie, you most likely sat through it praying that Cliff Huxtable would make an irrelevant but much-needed cameo appearance to the film to give it at least some A-level acting. The plot was predictable, the emotional outbursts obviously phony, and the only thing comforting about this movie was to see the attractive face of 'Ray-J' Norwood step into a scene and make the young teenage girls and boys scream to the top of their lungs while watching it in their rooms (at least someone enjoyed it). On the plus side (and I include a plus side just because it is the right thing to do), it was nice to see Keshia Knight-Pulliam's return to TV and at the same time have a positive holiday movie that the whole family could sit down and enjoy.
