Did anyone do any legal work who wrote this movie the contract wasn't notarized or filed most places give you the right to cancel if you change your mind she could have just grabbed contract and tore it up worst ending I ever saw in a movie

It is a Xmas movie, right? How the heck do they have an immoral, greedy real estate developer come out a huge winner? On top of that they put him (Mason) in a major scene with townspeople and it is all smiles. When they should have been running him out of town tarred and feathered.How Mason became a 'winner' is nonsensical. It calls for signing a million dollar+ contract with a 'stranger' and without reading it.Two weeks to renovate a run down Christmas Land and all we see is a single purchase of a few cans of paint. Voila, it is magically as great looking as in years gone by.Did you know that a coffee can,not even a large one, cannot hold hundreds of thousands of dollars? Finally, our 'hero' attorney can not come up with a single creative approach to help nail greedy, immoral Mason.

We need to know more about the romance of the two main characters :why was-it so important that SHE thought HE was the first at the exam (for example )? I have just seen this movie at the french TV ;could anyone explain me : when a character tells "Christmasworld" in state of "Christmasland", he is soon "cured"; does it matter : has it a special meaning ? I find it odd that you think the end is not "politically "correct": a very rich man is supposed to be a very bad man (!) ; so he can't change even with the magic of Christmas . Dickens was not "politically correct" ! I would prefer :this movie has not the correct dickensity....

OK, I watch Christmas movies. I work from home and having movies randomly off and on behind me is fine. Most of the time I have sci fi or action etc. movies playing behind me. This movie...the acting was fine, the actors fine. But where on this planet or at least in the U.S. does one sell a property without an appraisal, a survey, a title/lien search and commitment, legal representation on either side or a realtor to go over the contract etc? And, WHO pays CASH to a man who had all ready lied? No receipt for the money, no legal, "hey thanks for paying me $450,000 in cash and the other money I shafted you for, receipt." So, it is sad enough that these movies hardly ever have people of color in them...ANY color other than white...and formulaic story lines, but get with a little legal reality. Geez!!! So annoying. OK, Christmas rant is over.
