Magic Stocking (2015)

Too much of everything

Pretty Good

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

The theme of this movie seemed to be that the characters just needed to believe (in magic?) The events were certainly not explainable in normal terms.To me the movie was just a little underwhelming. The story was OK, but not great. The heartwarming moments were nice but just OK. Even the ending was not really that big a deal.I did not like Lindsey. I don't think you can blame Bridget Regan. Maybe they just played on the heartbroken widow theme too long and too hard. I think that most guys in Scott's shoes would have said that she was just too much trouble, although it is much to Scott's credit that he felt compassion for her situation. Iris Quinn was good as a slightly overbearing, but in reality a good grandmother. Imogen Tear was pretty good as Hannah. They really had some cute puppies.

This movie is refreshing! It has a lot of family values in it and can be enjoyed by children/parents/grandparents. Sad things happen in this world and losing a spouse/father is very difficult. You don't get over it in a few months---it's different for everyone and healing takes time. Holidays are especially emotional filled with memories of happier times with your loved one. The main characters, Scott & Lindsey are good actors, as well as being gorgeous, and there's a good rapport between them. I especially liked Donna and Fred, who are married in real life. The puppy added a lot to the story line. There's always something magical about Christmas and the fantasy of a magical Christmas stocking is charming. Perfect for family viewing at Christmas---and even in July👍🏻

BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.This Hallmark film is okay at best. This is a "movie by the numbers" Now I will not say that this film was bad because it wasn't "bad" it just wasn't great.I didn't mind the "General Idea" of the film. What I didn't like was that the film was too slow at times. I also had trouble with the dog story-line. It was just was too much. Also the widowed woman who hasn't celebrated Christmas in years is too hard to believe! I also think that most people would still celebrate Christmas they way the use to do when they have a small child. Most parents will put their children needs before their own. Now will I watch this again? Doubtful but you never know.

The storyline was good but it was so full of mistakes !! One after another that it keep me watching to see them all. But it was hard to watch. Also the lead female character was such a whiny, selfish, poor me, I was the only one who suffered from what happened, cried all the time etc. it was really hard to feel anything for her. I love Hallmark Christmas movies & look forward to them. Yes, I know they're basically the same but this one surprised me. In my opinion the worst one they've ever made. Usually Hallmark is on the ball w/their movies. Guess someone slept through this one. Just entertain yourselves with watching all the goofs, mistakes, & the lead female. You will shake your head at it.
