Naughty or Nice (2012)

Very well executed

So much average

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

We have been waiting for this movie to be broadcast on Hallmark again this season (2016) and have been very disappointed. It is a favorite for my wife and I. The story is interesting, the acting is very good, and its story is somewhat unique and captivating.All the actors and actresses do a very good job, and "lessons" presented are very good ones, and we would highly recommend this for families, couples, and individuals. We also recommend that each of the Christmas movie channels (e.g. Hallmark, Ion, and Up at the very least) add this movie to their regular line up. I will explore whether Net Flix has this movie in their catalog.

Naughty or Nice is an amiable and appealing Hallmark television film. Fun and life affirming in the run up to Christmas but not really that good. Where it should have had some cynicism is replaced by some saccharin.Hilarie Burton is spirited as Krissy Kringle who lives on Candy Cane Lane. She does not enjoy Christmas due to the attention she receives because of her name. She has a steady job at a firm and hopes to marry her boyfriend sometime soon. However she is suddenly fired by her cold boss and her parents arrange for her a demeaning job as an elf in a local mall.One day, Krissy receives a package in her mail, and finds herself in the possession of Santa's naughty or nice book. By calling out their name, Krissy can now see in the book what naughty deeds people have done such as her mall boss stealing money, a neighbour stealing decoration, her boyfriend might have been cheating on her and a rival at her former job was stealing her ideas and plans to steal the firm's clients for a rival one.However she soon realises that the book is in two sections with a nice part as some of the people also do nice deeds.It is watchable but only in a syrupy television film standard way.

I just wrote an extremely long review of how amazing this movie is and somehow it got erased. While I do love this movie and wish to explain why in thorough detail...again...I will not. I will simply say, that this is by far one of my new favorite Christmas movies and I would recommend it to any and everyone. The cast is completely perfect and the plot is extremely refreshing. This movie has the perfect balance of holiday/message/comedy/intrigue/and sheer enjoyment. I will be keeping it on my DVR for as long as I possibly can. I'd love to actually buy a DVD of it but have no clue when that will be available. Already can't wait until it's back on Hallmark again next year! Go watch it, it's on about 8 or 9 more times until December 29th!

Just finished watching this movie and I have to say I liked it a lot. This might not be a big surprise as I am all over Christmas movies and always looking forward for the most recent ones I haven't seen yet. Like always, it's not an award winning story or performance but it fits right in to the holiday time. And I really liked the deeper meaning of the naughty or nice story.We finally might look at it in a different way. Or not as we know there is no such thing as Santa or a naughty and nice list, or is there??? ;-)Just lean back, maybe get some pop corn and enjoy and if you are a little bit like me, relax a bit more as you realize there is some truth to it and nothing in life is that bad that you can't change it.It's a feel good movie, I can only recommend for this time of the year.
