First off, this is fantasy. It's just as real as the Grinch and Tinkerbell and yes Santa Claus.
This is a different Christmas story from any that I can remember. Trouble is there is a major ethics problem right smack in the middle of it and unmitigated theft is involved. Just so we're clear, the problem is that one of the good guys does it. But that's OK because that person later asks forgiveness and it's for a good cause, right? Soon after that, there's another theft and this is by the bad guys. Oh that's terrible! We have to fix that.
I would have loved this story, silly as some of the things in it were if it had not been for this double standard. Once again, our world teaches us that the end justifies the means and the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
Stop being lazy and do some creative writing and take out the double standard and this is a good story. Yes some of the things in it appeal at a child's level, but it's cute. There's some funny things in it. There is a precocious kid with the wisdom of a grandmother in a little girl's body. There's a sweet romance.
Hilarie Burton and Gabriel Hogan have chemistry even though their screen time to show that is limited.
