Recent films: A Heavenly Christmas (21st December)

My rating: 🔔🔔🔔

A Heavenly Christmas has Kristin Davis (Charlotte from Sex and the City, and Holiday In the Wild), Eric McCormack (Will from Will & Grace) and Shirley MacLaine (from Terms of Endearment, and a lot of other films!).

Kristin Davis plays Eve, who puts her work above her family.  She is always rushing around on her phone, trying to get new clients as she has her eye set on a partnership that is due to be announced.  She trips, and hits her head, and finds herself with Pearl (Shirley MacLaine) in a white place, in white clothes, and is told that she's died, but she can do some good for those still alive.  She just can't talk to anyone she knew in life, and she can't tell her family where she is.

Max (Eric McCormack) looks after his niece after her parents (his sister and singing partner) died in a car accident.  He has a diner, and whilst he wants to do more with his music, since his sister died he really hasn't been feeling that engaged with it.

Eve needs to help Max to find his passion for music again, and at the same time discover what is important in life.

I thought the film was fine.  It didn't blow me away, and didn't do anything unexpected! Unremarkable is probably a good word for it.  I did like that Kristin Davis and Eric McCormack were in it, considering both Sex and the City and Will & Grace started the same year (1998), so that was appealing, otherwise it's a film you can skip!
