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!!!

Plot:

(from Hallmark)

When a pair of high school sweethearts who ended up living happily never after bump into each other at the most dreaded of social gatherings the high school reunion they each begin to wonder if it's not too late to recapture what they once had in "Always and Forever," a Hallmark Channel Original Movie.

This film reminds us that Shakespeare had it right all along: The courses of true love never did run smooth.


(from Wikipedia)

A pair of high school sweethearts, Grace (Rena Sofer) and Micheal (Dean Mcdermott), are reunited at a school reunion twenty years after they parted ways to go to college. They soon realize that their love has survived the years, but their renewed affection is complicated by Philip (Rob Boltin), Grace's current boyfriend, and the meddling of Grace's mother (Barbara Eden). In the end, however, their love is realized.

Movie Review:

This is a very sweet high school reunion movie. It's very decent, with no language, sex, or violence. It's about rediscovering a love lost many years ago and rediscovering what is the most important thing in life - not work, but love - and sacrificing one's career for it.

This movie was a lot like the other Hallmark Movie - Back to You & Me, starring Dale Midkiff (Love Comes Softly) and Lisa Hartman Black (Clint Black's wife).

Reuniting, after many years of seperation, Michael and Grace, unexpectedly fall back in love. Another sweet addition to this story was the fact that Michael and Grace's assistants meet and fall in love, as well. They are so cute together and excited about being in love!

Also, Michael's happily married, sister, Rachel (Hillary Tuck, The Mom Swap) and brother-n-law, Gabe, (David Lascher, Blossom) give great love and dating advice. Rachel is expecting throughout the movie and is so adorable... always bubbly and sweet, with her pretty and perky curly red hair.

Even though, Michael and Grace try hard to stay focused on their work and their seperate futures after the reunion is over and the job that brought Michael home is over... they soon learn they cannot deny or resist their love for one another any more. It's a very sweet love story.
