FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
dghickma We have been waiting for this movie to be broadcast on Hallmark again this season (2016) and have been very disappointed. It is a favorite for my wife and I. The story is interesting, the acting is very good, and its story is somewhat unique and captivating.All the actors and actresses do a very good job, and "lessons" presented are very good ones, and we would highly recommend this for families, couples, and individuals. We also recommend that each of the Christmas movie channels (e.g. Hallmark, Ion, and Up at the very least) add this movie to their regular line up. I will explore whether Net Flix has this movie in their catalog.
Prismark10 Naughty or Nice is an amiable and appealing Hallmark television film. Fun and life affirming in the run up to Christmas but not really that good. Where it should have had some cynicism is replaced by some saccharin.Hilarie Burton is spirited as Krissy Kringle who lives on Candy Cane Lane. She does not enjoy Christmas due to the attention she receives because of her name. She has a steady job at a firm and hopes to marry her boyfriend sometime soon. However she is suddenly fired by her cold boss and her parents arrange for her a demeaning job as an elf in a local mall.One day, Krissy receives a package in her mail, and finds herself in the possession of Santa's naughty or nice book. By calling out their name, Krissy can now see in the book what naughty deeds people have done such as her mall boss stealing money, a neighbour stealing decoration, her boyfriend might have been cheating on her and a rival at her former job was stealing her ideas and plans to steal the firm's clients for a rival one.However she soon realises that the book is in two sections with a nice part as some of the people also do nice deeds.It is watchable but only in a syrupy television film standard way.
jolenesingh First off, let me say that I chose to watch this movie solely for Matt Dallas. I hadn't seen any of his performances since Kyle XY and I wasn't disappointed at all. He is a really good actor and I hope to get to see much more of him. Now, the movie, well its Christmasy, with magic in the air. It leaves you with big smiles and a light heart at the end.It's all about seeing the nicer side of people and of yourself.I really like all movie ventures by Hallmark. All actors have done a good job. But really, for me Matt was the highlight. He is a beautiful person and a good actor.
Brett Heitkam Naughty or Nice features a great cast, entertaining story, and the typical charms that are often evident in Hallmark's excellent Holiday offerings. I especially thought the casting in this one was terrific. I was not familiar with Hilarie Burton's previous work, but she won me over as Krissy Kringle, the oft-put upon main character who accidentally receives Santa's magical "Naughty or Nice" log book in the mail. She uses the book's mystical spying technology to her advantage, finding out what "nice" or "naughty" shenanigans her uppity neighbor (True Blood/Grimm's Jessica Tuck) and her fiancé (Kyle XY's Matt Dallas) as well as other random people in her life are up to. This leads her (as well as her wacky co-worker confidant) into several sticky, and typically hilarious, situations. This is a cute, fun movie that kept me interested for the entire running time. Highly recommended!Another casting tidbit: The parents from 80s sitcom Family Ties - Michael Gross and Meredith Baxter - co-star as Krissy's parents. Fun casting choices like this are what keep me coming back to Hallmark movies time and time again!
