The Good Witch of Christmas

I don't know why I thought this would be a fun family Christmas movie. The whole premise is extremely poor and you're left wondering what the point of the film is and when something interesting is going to happen. The kids do fine in their roles but the adult characters are extremely false and exaggerated. I'm not even sure why the 'Good Witch' is in the film title when there are no witches in the film. I presume it's actually referring to the elf, who I guess is more witch-like than elf-like. The santa character is also very odd and not festive at all, moaning about how he can't rely on others. Don't waste your time with this one.

Your intuition was correct. I don't want to be rude but it's really bad. Like, embarrassingly bad. The children in the movie do a fine job. But all the adults did not. From the actors, to the writers, and the entire amateurish production staff. More believable would be that this was a high school drama club production with just one week to write/act in/produce a short film. Oh, how I wish it was short film. It's only 114 minutes...but believe me...it's a very long 114 minutes. Oh, and the Santa suit...Amazon $39...MAX! Unfortunately, there were no reviews here when I checked prior to watching...so my 12 yr old son and I watched it blind. You're welcome, fine moms and dads. Find another for tonight's movie night. Merry Christmas!!
