Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Previous reviewers have pointed out the many, many flaws in this movie including the magic, color-changing skates, but there is one glaring flaw that has not been addressed: how Higher Education works. We are led to believe that a general music teacher in a elementary school would SUDDENLY be offered the Director of Bands position at a major university. First of all, he could not have near the credentials required for this position. Public school teachers most often have a BS in Music Education; rarely will you find someone with a higher degree. Trust me, I'm a retired elementary school counselor and music teacher. An MFA in conducting, PhD preferred would be the norm. Next there's that pesky "Equal Opportunity" thing. That government agency (EEO) demands equal access under the law and frowns upon the "good ol' boy/girl network. Lastly is that troubling ethics thing which in higher education requires a national search using advertising in profession journals and publications. After a review by the search committee, a few applicants would be invited to audition resulting in an offer made to the selectee. This process takes at least at least a year, not a few days.

This movie passed our doze test (no one fell asleep while watching). Alicia Witt was delightful to watch. It has a fantasy type plot but so does It's a Wonderful Life. These fantasy plots make Christmas movies more exciting for me. The movie was Well done. It is a movie I would enjoy watching again.I really enjoyed figuring out who the actor playing Santa Claus was- that voice was so familiar. This movie just might establish Alicia Witt as the Christmas movie queen- good for her and us. The movie left me with a good feeling that Truth always triumphs. There was delightful humor in blurting out the truth without a common sense filter. The family will not be disappointed. EnjoyMy criticism of the movie is its title. "I'm not ready for Christmas" is one of the worst titles. "Wishing the Truth this Christmas" would better describe it. I've noticed many reviews had a problem with the story line similar to Liar Liar which I have not seen. Good Grief. How many Scrooge themes do we see. They did a good job and we Christmas movie watchers are thankful.

My wife and I watched a few minutes of this movie last Christmas. We usually get somewhat excited for Hallmark movies, but I forgot why we didn't watch this one through to the end last Christmas season. Maybe there was something better on TV? Maybe we had too much bourbon in our egg nog? Who knows??Well, we didn't think much of it at the time other than the fact that Alicia Witt (aka America's Sweetheart) starred in this movie. We have grown to love Alicia Witt back from her days in "A Very Merry Mix- Up", and we consider her an unofficial part of our family. This movie came on again last week (the week before Halloween, for whatever reason). We turned it on just in time for the scene where Alicia Witt and her niece were about to go ice skating. It was at that point we decided to kick Alicia Witt out of our family. The scene started with Alicia Witt putting on brown ice skates, then it cuts away, and when it cuts back to her, my wife pointed out that she is wearing GRAY ice skates. Seriously??!?! Gray?!?!? Are these some kind of magic ice skates? Maybe Alicia Witt has fallen on hard times and she needs the money, but I never thought she would sink so low as to star in this complete ice-skate- screw-up of a movie.I really hope that Alicia Witt is embarrassed by that gaffe. She is better than this. Maybe now that she has hit rock bottom, she can pick herself up and once again start churning out movies that touch our hearts.

I'm Not Ready for Christmas is a 2015 romance film directed by Sam Irvin and starring Alicia Witt, George Stults, Brigid Brannagh, and Dan Lauria. Written by Hanz Wasserburger, the film is about driven businesswoman whose life is turned upside down when she discovers she can no longer lie—the result of her niece Anna's wish to Santa Claus. Her career and love life become complicated when her lies begin to catch up with her, forcing her to judge between truth and what is right. Alicia Witt seems to be the go to actress for the Hallmark Channel when they produce a film that rips off other films. I think they do this because she does make these film enjoyable. This film is family safe however children & men will be bored. If you like romantic comedies then watch this.
