It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

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.

Be warned this is a spoiler.About one hour into the movie, Holly has a dinner date with Drew the next day. Holly gets a phone call from Greydon DuPois,and she has to flies out to Aspen at 6AM. That's a good 6 to 7 hour flight each way. Not to mentioned that this is an international flight so Holly has to be at the airport 2 to 3 hours before take off, and travel time between the airport and hotel. Then skiing time as well. I would guess a good 20 hours total (if not more). How the heck does Holly keeps her dinner date with Drew? Also by the time Holly arrives in Aspen, it would be sometime in the evening (Aspen time), why is there daylight?!? Tough movie to watch when the movie makes no sense.

Love watching Hallmark Christmas movies but this one was horrible. It was taken right from the script of Liar Liar. I'm not a big fan of Alicia Witt anyway(I think she tends to overact but not in a good way) so it was extremely painful watching her trying to channel Jim Carrey. The delivery of the lines was way off and forced. I guess she was trying to copy the way he would run through the lies real quick but it was not working. With the exception of the sister the rest of the cast just fell flat. But then again I just couldn't get past how horrible Alicia Witt was. I guess hallmark is running out of ideas but don't try to duplicate Jim Carrey cause you just can't. Can't say enough bad things about this one so I'll just stop there. Won't be watching this one again. Pretty disappointed in all the new movies so far this year. Ice Sculpture has been the only good one.

Holly Nolan is an ad person dedicated to her job. She is so dedicated, she puts it before everything and everyone in her life.…..until she misses one too many of her niece's recitals. Mad that her aunt was a no-show, Holly's niece meets a magical Santa conveniently standing outside of the recital hall. She asks Santa for one wish. That wish is that Holly only be able to tell the truth. Santa grants it and that's when the storyline kicks in.Holly soon discovers that not only can she not tell a lie, she has lost her ability to filter her thoughts. In a normal world, that would be a bad thing. But in the Hallmark world, it opens doors and takes Holly to emotional and interpersonal places she might have never experienced. She tells her co-workers what she really thinks and it opens lines of communication. She tells a guy she'd really like to go out with him and it leads to romance. She tells an important client what she really thinks of his product during a pitch session and it lands her the big account. But does living an honest life ultimately lead to happiness? You'll have to watch the movie to find out.It's typical Hallmark fare, but Alicia Witt's performance and some thought provoking moments make this movie worth a couple hours of your time.
