Mary Christmas (2002)
I've got my TiVo set to catch all movies with "Christmas" or "Holiday" in the title. I really should figure out a way to have it exclude those airing on PAX...
Rich little girl who lost her mother when she was young wishes for a new one for Christmas. Single, pretty lifestyle reporter for a local news station gets assigned to do a heartwarming series on one family's Christmas preparations. And there ya go. That's plenty of story for a little film that makes you feel all warm and cozy -- but the acting is flat and there's a really unnecessary element of Christmas Magic that the film would've been so much better off without.
It's something to watch while wrapping presents or trimming the tree. No need to give it your full attention as it doesn't really deserve it. Frankly, it doesn't even seem to expect it.
