5.0 out of 5 stars Holiday gem that should absolutely be out on DVD, November 27, 2006

This review is from: The Christmas List (DVD)

Aside from the fact that this is a Christmas movie, there's universal appeal in the power to effect change in our lives as Melody Parris did in this film. Luckily, I recorded this movie a few years ago (and re-record it every year so that I always have a fresh copy) because I watch it all year round whenever I need some inspiration on the "power of positive thinking" (or positive listing in this case). In a nutshell, Melody Parris is a perfume counter salesperson at a big department store. She sells perfume as an extension of a person's soul and she can name any perfume blindfolded. They call her the nose, in fact. The passion by which she conducts herself at the perfume counter extends into the other areas of her life. At the urging of a co-worker, Melody writes a heartfelt yet way out Christmas list that mysteriously begins to manifest itself item by item after finding its way into Santa's mailbox. That, combined with one kind gesture to a young boy, unleashes uncontrollable change in her life. She ends up on a rollercoaster of life changing events (sometimes bad-seeming at first) but ultimately, she triumphs over every obstacle in the way of true happiness in her life. Her co-worker tells her that by writing the list, she gave herself permission to go for it and make change happen for herself. There's a lot to be said for that.

It's a real shame that this little gem is not out on DVD. I'm not quite sure what the criteria is for releasing made-for-tv movies on DVD but this one certainly deserves to be released as such.

P.S. Some good performances by Marla Maples and Stella Stevens.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Modern Christmas Movie!, November 25, 2006

I was sure to catch this little gem this year! Lovely, fun, family movie for the holidays. They don't make many modern holiday movies which are really good - this is one of them. Can't understand why it isn't out on DVD?!? Many seem to enjoy it and it is just so much fun!
