Anne Heche can NOT act in this or ANY movie! And her voice is not compatible with "talkies.".....However, upon seeing the previews, and despite her starring, I was honestly looking forward to giving this movie a very fair chance...and really hoped to enjoy it.................. After all, it had the right basic "ingredients" otherwise for a very good Christmas movie: a puppy, Christmas décor, snow, and kids.
However, the first turn-off came very soon when Anne Heche screamed like a maniac several times at her kids! (No wonder her kids had no concern for her when she was lying on the ground!).
2nd turn-off: Shortly after that in another scene, her kids were screaming!
3rd turn-off: Shortly after that scene, Anne Heche ran into an elevator, faced the corner, and was whining and mumbling like an idiot!--->>>Immediately 4th and final turn-off: my TV!
I had enough!...Who wants to hear screaming and more screaming, especially in a Christmas movie?!...............The investors and producers seemed to fail to realize that seasoned, TALENTED actors and actresses are the ONLY ones worth investing in if they want a worthy movie! "Pay the extra bucks!"........."And also get a talented staff of wise casters and professional writers!"
