Christmas Town

MOVIE REVIEW

Christmas Town:

Movie for Christmastime.


CAST:

Nicole de Boer ... Liza McCann
Patrick Muldoon ... Kevin


PLOT:

from ION-

Christmas Town, starring Nicole de Boer (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, The Dead Zone) and Patrick Muldoon (Starship Troopers, Stigmata, Melrose Place), brings Liza McCann (de Boer), a cynical young reporter and single mom, and her eight-year-old son to visit her father, a stuffy ex-banker living in a small town in Central California known as "America's Christmas Town."

At the edge of town, a mysterious warehouse sits behind gates. While Liza reunites with her father and unexpectedly meets Kevin (Muldoon), the cute, laid back local café owner who believes in the magic of Christmas, her son sees the spirit first-hand as he sneaks over to the warehouse and spies what he believes to be elves, a sleigh, reindeer and even Santa Claus. In the end, Liza learns how to believe again - not just in Christmas, but in the possibility of love.




Movie Review:

This movie had an interesting start but quickly grew odd and strange. It seemed like Liza and her son were only visiting her fathers home for a couple of days - and suddenly her son found Santa and his warehouse and Liza falls quickly in love with a local guy who works with her father and always seems to be hanging around. This movie is innocent and decent... with all the magic and fantasy of Santa Claus... but it just doesn't have much content. The acting was weak with some characters and I just didn't like the script, the boy, who seemed to old for his part with Santa, or Patrick Muldoon's hair.

If you are looking for a cute Christmas Movie... skip this one and get A Boyfriend for Christmas, instead.
