🎄 2021 Christmas Binge Watch Movie #55 🎄
We start the movie twenty years prior, we have James Denton, Terri Hatcher, and Rod Wilson all playing younger versions of their characters. Now I think a little de-aging was going on, lots of weird filled in hair lines and super smooth looking skin, but they still looked old. It's brief, but that opening made me laugh. Now if you can get over that you can enjoy this baby. This was a lot fun, I had a blast while watching. James Denton was so much fun as a man fed up with his life and work, gets a do-over from Santa, becomes befuddled by the whole thing, and then desperately trying to get back to his old life. This is probably his best performance in anything Hallmark related he's done. Terri Hatcher and James Denton still have their "Desperate Housewives" chemistry. They really were great together on screen. Only in a Christmas movie can we have a man living in an alternate reality who still has to save something before Christmas comes around. This doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it was sure fun to watch.
My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐½
Where to Watch: Hallmark Channel
