I loved the concept of Hallmark's A Shoe Addict's Christmas, but it's not one I'm going to add to my yearly collection. Candace Cameron Bure is such a doll, and every year I watch her in Journey Back to Christmas and Switched for Christmas; it's no stretch to say she was the best part of this movie. She stars as a woman who likes shoes better than Christmas and while decorating in the department store where she works, accidentally gets stuck overnight. Then, Jean Smart pops up as her guardian angel and takes her through the classic past, present, and future-but get this: she does it by having Candace step inside different pairs of shoes that take her to different visions. Pretty cool, huh?
Again, it was a great concept, but it's just not Hallmark's finest. Since I've seen the finest (and everything else in between) I've got the knowledge to be picky. Go ahead and rent this one if you like Candace, it won't hurt you, but don't expect miracles. If that's what you're looking for-yes, pun intended-then check out Journey Back to Christmas.
