Kieran McCabe Normally these xmas tv movies are pretty dreadful. but this one was genuinely funny. The main cast had real comedic chops. Not your usual Christmas fair. Definitely worth a watch.

Jack Vasen This was not what I expected from the title. Actually, I'm not sure what I expected, but it wasn't this. This is not your typical Hallmark Christmas movie. The story is different, at least to me.In this movie, there are not all the usual holiday traditions ticked off in the story as in so many of the movies. (Not that I don't like them, I do.) For about 2/3rds of the movie, Krissy Kringle is petty and vindictive and often mean. But then she, and the audience, discovers that all real people are not one dimensional. It does get a little preachy, but it is part of the story.The story is excellent. The production is decent. (The house decorations are spectacular.) And the acting is good. There is some humor. I'm not sure the movie would have been nearly as good without Gabriel Tigerman who adds some humorous spice to the story. The movie probably deserves a higher score than I give it, but I rate on my personal enjoyment and Krissy was too mean for too long in the movie for my taste.

kthonson87 In all honesty, I only gave this movie a chance because Hilarie Burton has been one of my favourite actresses since One Tree Hill started! Never in a million years did u expect it to be one of the best Christmas movies I've seen! From losing her job to working as an elf (been there) then learning all this info about people in her life and consequently having a very public breakdown, this movie keeps the spirit of Christmas alive even when Krissy doesn't feel it. Having Matt Dallas of Kyle XY and Danneel Ackles (also of One Tree Hill) is just a bonus for me. If you haven't watched it yet, please do! You won't regret it!

Brett Heitkam Naughty or Nice features a great cast, entertaining story, and the typical charms that are often evident in Hallmark's excellent Holiday offerings. I especially thought the casting in this one was terrific. I was not familiar with Hilarie Burton's previous work, but she won me over as Krissy Kringle, the oft-put upon main character who accidentally receives Santa's magical "Naughty or Nice" log book in the mail. She uses the book's mystical spying technology to her advantage, finding out what "nice" or "naughty" shenanigans her uppity neighbor (True Blood/Grimm's Jessica Tuck) and her fiancé (Kyle XY's Matt Dallas) as well as other random people in her life are up to. This leads her (as well as her wacky co-worker confidant) into several sticky, and typically hilarious, situations. This is a cute, fun movie that kept me interested for the entire running time. Highly recommended!Another casting tidbit: The parents from 80s sitcom Family Ties - Michael Gross and Meredith Baxter - co-star as Krissy's parents. Fun casting choices like this are what keep me coming back to Hallmark movies time and time again!
