PLOT:

from Wikipedia:

Jenny McCarthy reprises her role as Mary Class, Santa's business minded daughter, to help save Christmas in "Santa Baby 2," the sequel to ABC Family's original hit movie of 2006. Santa's in the midst of a late-life crisis -- he's tired of the responsibilities of the job and is ready to pass on the reins to Mary, who feels torn between the family business and running her own high stakes firm in New York City, along with balancing a relationship with the love of her life, Luke (Dean McDermott). The situation gets increasingly dire when Teri, an ambitious new arrival to the North Pole, sows dissension at the workshop in an effort to take over Christmas.


Movie Review:

If you enjoy Fantasy "North Pole" Christmas Movies... that are made just for lighthearted entertainment and amusement - then this movie should be right down your Santa Claus Lane!

This is a sequel movie to the original Santa Baby Movie starring Jenny McCarthy and George Wendt, as Santa.

In Santa Baby 2 - Dean McDermott plays Luke, the boyfriend of Mary Claus (Jenny McCarthy).
Paul Sorvino portrays her father, Santa Claus. It's Mary's job, again, to get to the North Pole and save Christmas. Mary and her boyfriend, Luke, live near Santa's toy shop at his place. Nothing is shown but kissing, however their living together is implied from the start. There is a little bit of language in this one, as well.

There is a lot of silly North pole activity and craziness! It's definitely a fantasy comedy. One of the elves, Teri, tries to take over Santa's role and is deceptive to everyone. In the end, she is remorseful and is forgiven. Mary has to decide between work & family commitments. There are also relationship struggles between Luke and Mary. Again, they disagree over living at the North Pole.

In the end, however, they come together and Christmas is saved Forever!!!

See, but, I would rate this one PG!

YAHOO... Shutting GEOCITIES Down !

Over the weekend, I heard the news that YAHOO is Shutting GEOCITIES Down.

This is not great news for me- as I have 2 Free Geo-cities Sites and One That I pay for. All three will be removed by Yahoo - by the end of the year - unless I save and move them all to a new location.

To be honest, I'm not real happy about this "surprise announcement"and I'm sure I'm not alone... as I know millions have geo-cities web-sites. It seems especially wrong - that I will be loosing the site that I am currently paying for, as well.

I will do my very best to move all of this web-site - www.itsawonderfulmovie.com to a new server (it won't be Yahoo!) over the course of the summer and autumn.

Until then, updates can be found here on my BLOG and on the Family TV Schedule page.

More news to come.....

Take care, everyone, and God Bless!

Oh the Weather Outside is Frightful!

It is bitterly cold here now - in the midwest! I hope you are keeping warm - whereever you are. It is currently -6. Brrrrrrr!!!! I am so thankful and blessed to have a warm home.

It is hard to believe it is already mid-January, but time lately seems to fly by! I have recently finally finished watching all of the Christmas Movies I had taped over the Christmas Season... that I couldn't quite catch due to Holiday demands and busyness.

I am working on getting all of them set up with reviews, but have a few more to go! You can catch all of my Movie Reviews, here.

My favorites for the 2008 Holiday Season were the Hallmark Christmas Movies! Let me know if you agree or disagree.

Goodnight & God Bless,

Happy New Year, 2009!

I just wanted to wish all of you... God's blessings and Happiness in the New Year!

I hope many of you enjoyed the Christmas TV Schedule. What did you love on TV this year during the Christmas Season? What would you like to be different next year? I was recently visiting the ABCfamily Message Boards and many on there were not pleased that ABCfamily aired so many non-holiday movies during their 25 days of Christmas Celebration. I couldn't agree more. I would have loved to have seen more of Eloise at Christmastime (maybe in prime time, instead of 7 AM), Sons of Mistletoe, Christmas Everyday, and The Christmas List (which seems to be a favorite!).... instead of Mary Poppins, Cars, The Incredibles, and others.

The Family TV Schedule on my web-site: www.itsawonderfulmovie.com, will be updated soon with movies for family viewing. This year it will only include certain stations. I will report movies from the Hallmark Channel, ABCfamily, Disney, ION, Lifetime, Lifetime Move Network, Local Sations, and maybe a few others, if I hear about any special shows or programming!

God's Blessings in 2009!
