12 Wishes of Christmas (2011)

Wonderful character development!

That was an excellent one.

Fantastic!

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The previous reviewer summed it pretty adequately. I, too, wish I had those 2 hours back! We watch a LOT of Christmas movies and this might be one of the worst ones yet. For some reason, the title got changed, my feeling is a poor attempt to appeal to animal lovers, to "12 Wishes For My Dog." But the dog has very little to do with the story and the wishes are not really related to him. It would've made a better story if they were the dog's wishes!The movie had a couple of decent actors (Fred Willard, Michael Gross), the story premise was interesting, and there were some nice Holiday shots, and the star was very sweet (but totally unbelievable), but the acting was just bad. The story had promise but failed to execute. If you want a warm and fuzzy feeling, watch the last 5 minutes and skip the rest of the movie.

"12 Wishes of Christmas" is definitely a movie for the ladies. This is as sugar-coated as it comes. This romantic Christmas comedy is molded directly from the foundry that spews out these romantic comedies by the dozens. It has everything that you could want in a movie of this type.The story is about Laura Lindsey (played by Elisa Donovan) whose life comes crashing down in a series of events, and she is given a second chance at a mystical life coach which grants her 12 wishes. But with these wishes comes responsibility. Will Laura be able to rise to the occasion and make the changes in her life and in the lives of those around her?"12 Wishes of Christmas" does prove entertaining enough the first time you watch it, despite it being so sugar-coated that your teeth literally hurt while you watch the movie. However, I will say that this is not a movie that I will be watching again. Perhaps because I am not a woman, so I am not a sucker for these particular types of movies.It was actually quite nice to see Michael Gross in this movie, despite him not having that big a role. He actually did bring something nice to the movie, and he was one of the more interesting of actors to behold in the movie. Of other notable faces in the movie, you have Gabrielle Carteris and Fred Willard.If you enjoy sugar-coated seasonal comedies with a pinch of romance, then you will most definitely enjoy "12 Wishes of Christmas".

For a really safe, toothpaste commercial type of holiday family movie, I suppose this was okay. But, for those of you who enjoy believable acting, and a storyline that is at least somewhat decent.....steer clear!The acting is so unbelievably awful, I found myself laughing out loud all through the movie. It was so bad in fact, that I almost felt at times like it was intended to be that terrible....like the actors were mocking a lifetime flick.Can I have one Christmas wish? Can I get back those two hours of my life? If like to do something more interesting, like watch some paint dry or something.

Corny and predictable. The only thing on my TV on a Saturday afternoon. 12 wishes per person per lifetime..no refunds or exceptions. She stupidly wastes all her wishes on unnecessary and selfish things then (big surprise) karma comes back and bites her in the ass and she finds herself completely alone and miserable. It's just another story of a typical ditz with a jackass boyfriend, more ditsy friends, a scary boss, and a crappy apartment (which she lives in for the entire duration of the movie AFTER winning the lottery, a new car, and, not to mention, she is granted her three wishes. Just don't watch this movie..TRUST ME..you already know exactly what it's about and exactly what's going happen. There are much better Christmas movies out there. Why do they waste money and time making these cheesy holiday/chick flicks?? lame..two thumbs down
