This is a clever story and definitely not the average Christmas rom/com. It includes the idea of a real Santa and Jessica Claus. Jessica gets a letter from a little girl wanting love for her mom. Jessica is feeling a little neglected by Kris so she decides a mission for Hope will do her some good. Mira Sorvino overplays the naïve Jessica a little. Will Sasso does a better job as Kris who is just as out of touch with the real world, but doesn't overplay it as much. Aislyn Watson does a good job as precocious and street wise Hope. Postables alum Geoff Gustafson leans toward the naughty side for an elf.
Laura Vandervoort and Andrew Walker are both among the better rom/com TV movie actors. They have good chemistry even if they split time fairly equally with Sasso and Sorvino. The dialogue is lively. The story is totally fresh and a little silly, but outcomes are totally predictable in a general sense.
Both Sorvino and Kristine Cofsky sport costumes which are a little more revealing than I normally expect in this kind of movie, but the exposure is brief and more implied than explicit. Personally it is out of my comfort range for children in my family, but many people will not bat an eye.
This is a fun movie and definitely rewatchable.
