The Twelve Trees of Christmas (2013)

hyped garbage

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

I love the Lindy Booth character. Both her and Robert Dunne starred in the Christmas Song- 2016 which is an excellent movie and much better than this one. They both did a great job here and their scenes make the movie worth watching. Their relationship is almost identical in both movies. The supporting cast was not that supporting except the little girl and the lady that played the grand mother. The other characters were just kind of stupid and added little.The Christmas tree decorations and the living kid Christmas tree singing "I saw three ships come Sailing in on Christmas Day" was very good. I did doze toward the end of the movie so this is an indication that the supporting cast stories were kind of boring (I did rewind and watch).

Cheri Jamison rallies the residents of her beloved Manhattan neighborhood to participate in a Christmas tree contest when her cherished local library is abruptly set for demolition. Cheri finds herself up against an ambitious developer Tony Shaughnessy.The film is a little slow. However the lead is very beautiful person and she has a charm to spare. This film follows the Christmas Film Template but so what. What I liked most about this film was the ending where we see all these beautiful Christmas Trees. The film is family safe. The film will most likely air again at Christmas time on LIFETIME. I would watch this again because again I love the ending & seeing all these beautifully decorated trees.

In a New York City community, during the Christmas season, pretty red-haired librarian Lindy Booth (as Cheri Jamison) receives some devastating news. The library where she works will be demolished to make room for a condominium, with two full bathrooms per unit. Behind this dastardly plan is materialistic, but attractive Robin Dunne (as Tony Shaughnessy). By the way, they are both unmarried. In order to save the library from run, Ms. Booth decides to have a Christmas tree decorating contest. The script attempts to explain how this is going to help reverse the demolition and gives some vague guidelines for the contest, but none of it makes much sense... The most standard contest rules are broken, and nobody seems to notice..."The Twelve Trees of Christmas" is dull and predictable, but several in the supporting cast get scenes worthy of a demonstration reel. Shauna MacDonald is most effective. For some reason, Melanie Brown (aka "Scary Spice" of The Spice Girls) assumes the villain role. The handsome Casper Van Dien wanders onto the set a couple of times. Best thing about this TV Movie is the work of director Michael DeCarlo and photographer Russ Goozee. They fill the screen with the colorful set decorations nicely and balance them with sleek floors and table tops.*** The Twelve Trees of Christmas (11/16/13) Michael DeCarlo ~ Lindy Booth, Robin Dunne, Shauna MacDonald, Melanie Brown

I really liked this movie, is soft, warming and gentle, it has a nice story behind it. As a season movie it is also original and fun. Something good for every age and it will amuse you during x-mas. The cast is good but not boring enough or crazy enough, each character seems balanced and was created nicely and all the actors who gave life to this character really deserve a hands down from the viewers. Not giving up much on the story it self this movie makes you think about all that is essential in life, all the joys, all the hopes, all the fun and also all the good stuff that we all have and that we should cherish all year long. This movie represents the things that we miss our days in society.
