Wow! Such a good movie.
Undescribable Perfection
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
I liked this movie very much. Was it an award winning movie? No of course not. It was a very sweet nice movie designed to make you smile and just feel good for a couple of hours. Well mission accomplished. It was a very different kind of movie for David Hasselhoff and I think he pulled it off quite nicely. All in all a very decent film. I highly recommend it.
A workaholic couple hires square-jawed David Hasselhoff (as Owen) to be their "Christmas Consultant". Mainly, this is because busy Caroline Rhea (as Maya) can't be an executive, housewife and mother while planning a successful Christmas. Looking neatly trimmed, Mr. Hasselhoff helps by decorating the house, taking Ms. Rhea for a romantic sleigh ride with silver-haired husband Barclay Hope (as Jack Fletcher) and taking their three kids out for some off-key Christmas caroling. The main event is planning a Christmas party to impress relatives and co-workers. The plan doesn't go smoothly when the airport has trouble landing planes due to Hasselhoff's excessive outdoor lighting of the Fletcher house. Then, there is an incident at the Christmas party. It looks like somebody lost her Christmas spirit, but you shouldn't give up hope. Everything is wrapped up so, so sweetly.*** The Christmas Consultant (11/10/12) John Bradshaw ~ David Hasselhoff, Caroline Rhea, Barclay Hope, Jessica McLeod
I really enjoyed this, yes, it does have ups and downs--sometimes it seems that all is not going well but that is part of the fun! It reminds me a bit of "The Ref"---could some of the same people be involved {behind the scenes}? It concerns a modern, up to date family, who feel that they would like to get more out of their Christmas celebration with a little less work, but they are very short of free time.I hope to get a copy of it so I an play it whenever I want to! I think it is a lot of fun but be sure to watch it all the way to the end,I think you who commented that you found it "depressing" quit too soon.I am eager to see it again, and am recommending it to all my friends.Please give it a try!
Tepid Christmas tale is abhorrently unfunny, terribly corny, and should have never been made. Whoever approved this script should be washing cars for a living instead of writing screenplays. There's the dysfunctional family, the unrealistic plot, and the desire to make Christmas BETTER by having everyone screw up, act stupid, and hate each other...until the end that is. At first, I thought this was a Hallmark movie,but even they wouldn't go this far with one of their movies. Look, taste is subjective. I'm sure some people will like this movie. That's fine. THEY can watch it... I'll stick to the classics. Hey, I don't even like A Christmas Story, with "Ralphie" and his BB Gun, but understand how people could like THAT; it does have some cute elements, but this...this is Ho, Ho, Horrible!
