from ION Television-
The Christmas Clause, produced by Aro Entertainment and Cinamour Entertainment, stars Lea Thompson (Caroline in the City). This family film delves into the world of Sophie Kelly (Thompson), a top-rated lawyer with three kids and a husband that take up all her time. All of her family and work stress comes to a chaotic halt days before Christmas at the shopping mall when she sees Santa and wishes for a different life. However, the grass is not always greener as a single, successful lawyer with her own firm and the most eligible bachelor vying or her attention. Freedom has its price as she realizes the sweet life is not so sweet and must race against time to find the true meaning of family and love before Christmas Day.
Movie Review:
I like Lea Thompson and I tried to like this movie, as well... however, it was one of those - should I just turn the channel or should I see how it turns out? I opted for staying with it.
As my family always says after a predictable movie... Well, that was pretty cut and dry. And to be truthful, it was.
The main character, Sophie wishes her life is different as described above in the plot and she gets her wish only to realize her dream life isn't exactly the fairytale she thought it would be.
In the end, she returns to her real life... but this time she is thankful for her husband and children and realizes she really has a wonderful life.
There are a lot of chaotic moments before the happy ending and that's part of the reason why I didn't enjoy it.
See or Skip:
I suggest Skipping this one.
