During the Christmas season (and now in mid-summer), Hallmark puts on the Christmas movies where everything always turns out great in the end, and all of the people are usually very nice (oh, they might have a character with a mean streak...who reforms, of course). I actually did like this one. Corny...somewhat. But, not a bad story. And, a couple of good character actors appear: Christopher Lloyd and William Shatner.

I watched this special show with my daughter while she was home for Thanksgiving. This story is inspiring and actually not so easy to predict as most stories of its genre. The magical "It's a Wonderful Life" type structure of the story and superb casting made this a tearful and joyful as well as entertaining movie to watch.

I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 400 Christmas MOVIES. SO BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I AM HONEST! I REVIEW MOVIES AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN.In this film Lindsay has to make a tough decision: stay in her small hometown and marry longtime beau Jason, or accept a once-in-a- lifetime job teaching at an Ivy League college thousands of miles away. Fortunately, a magical messenger gives her a priceless Christmas Time gift.What I liked the most about this film is that it resolved everything and the people featured in this film all have a happier life.The screenplay was well thought out. The plot is a "fantasy" however it is very plausible on how some would react if they find themselves 3 years into the future!

"Just In Time For Christmas" is not your average Christmas movie. And with that being said, don't get me wrong. I am not saying that it is not a good movie or a suitable movie to watch during the Christmas holidays, far from it. It is, in fact, a wholesome family Christmas movie and actually quite entertaining if you enjoy these pseudo-corny types of movies.It turned out that "Just In Time For Christmas" was actually far more entertaining and watchable than I had initially anticipated. So I was more than genuinely surprised with the outcome of the movie, because it was rather good.Storywise, then the movie is generic and pretty much as predictable as they come. Corny, yes, and also quite stereotypical. But it is the kind of story that you quickly and easily get caught up in.The acting in "Just In Time For Christmas" was quite good, and people were doing great jobs in portraying the various roles and characters in the movie. Just a shame that Christopher Lloyd didn't have a more prominent role in the movie. And it was somewhat of a fun surprise to see William Shatner make a small appearance in the movie as well."Just In Time For Christmas" is the kind of movie that leaves you with a good feeling and puts you in a cheerful mood. So on that account, it is a movie that definitely sits well to be watched during the Christmas season. This is hardly a Christmas classic in any sense, but it is well-worth taking the time to watch once. I say once, because I don't think that "Just In Time For Christmas" actually has material enough to its storyline to sustain multiple viewings.I watched this movie with my family during the Christmas holidays of 2016, and it was among one of the better movies to make it to the screen that particular season.
