Christmas? What is the Christmas message here? It's OK to be humiliated and then humiliated again, and plus - grateful to be humiliated.This movie is disgrace for female first and then for men as well. I cant believe someone approved this to be on TV (or anywhere).Would anyone want to show this to their family?

This is Lacey Chabert's 6th Christmas Movie and it is her best. I was about ready to give up on her. Finally a movie with some excitement that I don't fall asleep watching it. This was a good role for her. As unassertive Sara Thomas, she is wronged and is granted a wish to have the courage to speak up for 48 hours. Many scenes where she surprises by speaking up- all good. It was well done and the anticipation of what she is going to say/do next keeps the movie exciting. The admiration of her boss is just great and really makes the movie. The role of the boss is well done. Also the zillionaire Wilson was well played. The reviews preceding this one indicate a movie similar to her other five. No. This movie is much better. I will watch this one again and I am very happy it was good.Just to remind. Matchmaker Santa (2012), Royal Christmas (2014), Tree that Saved Christmas (2014), Family for Christmas (2015), A Christmas Melody (2015).

Thank you to the other reviewers who wrote about the dissatisfying ending. I did the same thing, re-watching the ending to see if I somehow missed the conversations between the male lead (Peter) and his father, and the female lead (Sara) and the jerky client. How the heck did everything get wrapped up so neatly? And I agree that it certainly appeared that Peter would not have run after Sara at the end if she hadn't gotten the contract signed, since he was totally cold to her when she arrived. Wow. True love.And way too much wasted filler... for example, wouldn't it have been cool if the mother and daughter who Sara helped at the car rental agency turned out to be the client's family, which is why he had a change of heart??? As it was, it seemed like just a silly waste of time that could otherwise have been used to explain the "happy ending."

Very cute, but terrible ending. This woman made everything okedoke at the end by going back to her wimpy self, not speaking her mind, not standing up for herself. To make her man happy, she needed to endure abusive, demeaning comments from the man they were trying to get a contract with. She apologizes to him, goes to her man, he finds out she wimped out but got the contract, and he liked her again. No apology from the boyfriend. Bad Christmas movie. Bad. Not to mention appearing to leave out important parts.Very cute, but terrible ending.
