Wish for a better film
Actually really liked the premise for ‘A Christmas Wish’. Unusual but if done right it had the potential to be entertaining and sweet. Things that Christmas films can be, though there are quite a lot too that are cheesy and over-sentimental. Lifetime are a very mixed bag when it comes to their Christmas output, and overall their 2019 efforts weren’t too special. Just to say, whenever watching a Christmas film from Lifetime or Hallmark there have never been expectations for it to be a masterpiece, merely judging it on what it set out to do.

On that front, ‘A Christmas Wish’ is something of a mixed bag. As far as Lifetime Christmas films go, it’s neither one of the best or worst. As far as their 2019 Christmas output goes, ‘A Christmas Wish’ is again neither one of their best or worst. It is somewhere in the middle on both counts, not a terrible film but not great either and could have done quite a lot more with its premise. A case of a good premise with very hit and miss execution, have seen too many of those kind of films overtime and it is a bit frustrating.

Will start with the good. One of ‘A Christmas Wish’s’ better aspects is the acting, with two very likeable leads (especially Hilarie Burton) that to me had a lovely far from disconnected friendship and their romance charmed and developed without being unrealistically rushed or taking too long to get there. The supporting cast are well above average too, a standout being Pam Grier.

It is a genuinely charming film more than once, warms the heart and has touching moments, such as the interaction with the students. The film looks quite attractive, the scenery having a picturesque look. Parts of the soundtrack are pleasant. Didn’t find myself bored or annoyed by the characters and thought that the same sex couple were handled in good taste actually.

Do have to agree with people though, though this is not the case of one aspect alone bringing the film down (there are very few films etc out there like that), that the music is over-scored and over-bearing. It could have been used less too and the balance between it and the dialogue was off. The dialogue wasn’t really anything all that special though, much of it is very cheesy and sugary. Including an increasingly tired running joke that got repetitive very quickly.

For my tastes, ‘A Christmas Wish’ executes its premise too conventionally, meaning that it all felt too easily foreseeable and safe. Some of the story, as well as predictable, felt contrived and occasionally muddled from trying to do too much and with not enough time to fully explore it all. The ending is especially forced and left me scratching my head with confusion, some decision making coming out of nowhere.

Summing up, watchable if rather average. 5/10

“Have you seen Tiny Tim’s Crotch, I can’t find it anywhere?”
A Christmas Wish (2019) –

I really struggled with this one. It may be that I’m so shallow that I can’t enjoy a film without a hottie to stare at, which it was definitely lacking, or it may be that it was just a bit meh.

I liked Hilarie Burton in the lead role of Faith, although she had some terrible wardrobe choices that even the fruitiest of art teachers would avoid. It felt like they had chosen the clothes before they had cast her, assuming that someone older would be in the role. Some of them didn’t even fit that well.

And her Dad must have been the oldest policeman in America. The casting overall felt a bit odd and maybe a bit rushed or careless.

Tyler Hilton as the lead male, Wyatt, looked weird in his strange collection of clown clothes too. I felt like they were trying to hide the fact that he was a funny shape underneath or something.

In fact, none of Faith’s potential romantic interests had much going for them except maybe Andrew the Chilean guy, played by Cristián de la Fuente.

Faith certainly had a lot of frogs to deal with before finding her “Prince” – friends, family, random gay guys on the street and a weirdo with a drink problem all included.

Apart from Faith, the only other one that I did like was the gay brothers husband, James and we didn’t get to see that much of him.

And although I do love a bit of LGBTQ+ representation, the gay brother, Grant, played by Colin Fickes, was so annoying as the massive stereotype he portrayed and his acting was far too much, way over the top. I really didn’t like him. It got really corny because of him too.

Although Tyler didn’t help with that either. He may have been successful in ‘One Tree Hill’ (I don’t know, I’ve never seen it and have no intentions to start anytime soon), but he was just a bit too kooky in this. He wasn’t really leading man material at all in my opinion.

Lee Norris will always be an odd choice for any part as well. I couldn’t get along with his character Ryan and I think the actor was just a bit too quirky for the role.

His side storyline with Faith’s sister took away from the main plot too much as well, leaving less time for it to become the story it should have been.

Because it reminded me of the episode of ‘Buffy, The Vampire Slayer’ (1997-2003) where Xander makes a wish that goes wrong and all the women start chasing him, but that was done in a farcical way which worked with the series, whereas in this film it didn’t really go down that root enough to really show it driving her nuts or the magic of the wish, with its potential downsides too. It would have been an ideal way of delivering this message in a festive, maybe silly, but also magic way, because I actually liked the concept, but it lacked a polish and the cast really weren’t good. Hilarie Burton had it much better in ‘The Christmas Contract’ (2018), where at least Robert Buckley seemed more appropriate for her and the rest of the production was delivered more carefully.

The other reviewers were right about the musical soundtrack too, which was far too loud over what they were saying. In fact the sound in general was awful.

And the dead trees again!!! Why do the props people keep getting employment when they deliver “Fresh” Christmas trees that look like they were the same ones used to film these TV movies the year before?

The whole production felt a bit flat, like they weren’t prepared to commit too much to it and the end seemed a bit lame and half-arsed too.

Can someone please remake it with better actors and direction. I’d like to see the story done some justice and much nicer Christmas trees.

4.25/10.
