Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Christmas-Reviewer Cheri Jamison rallies the residents of her beloved Manhattan neighborhood to participate in a Christmas tree contest when her cherished local library is abruptly set for demolition. Cheri finds herself up against an ambitious developer Tony Shaughnessy.The film is a little slow. However the lead is very beautiful person and she has a charm to spare. This film follows the Christmas Film Template but so what. What I liked most about this film was the ending where we see all these beautiful Christmas Trees. The film is family safe. The film will most likely air again at Christmas time on LIFETIME. I would watch this again because again I love the ending & seeing all these beautifully decorated trees.

wes-connors In a New York City community, during the Christmas season, pretty red-haired librarian Lindy Booth (as Cheri Jamison) receives some devastating news. The library where she works will be demolished to make room for a condominium, with two full bathrooms per unit. Behind this dastardly plan is materialistic, but attractive Robin Dunne (as Tony Shaughnessy). By the way, they are both unmarried. In order to save the library from run, Ms. Booth decides to have a Christmas tree decorating contest. The script attempts to explain how this is going to help reverse the demolition and gives some vague guidelines for the contest, but none of it makes much sense... The most standard contest rules are broken, and nobody seems to notice..."The Twelve Trees of Christmas" is dull and predictable, but several in the supporting cast get scenes worthy of a demonstration reel. Shauna MacDonald is most effective. For some reason, Melanie Brown (aka "Scary Spice" of The Spice Girls) assumes the villain role. The handsome Casper Van Dien wanders onto the set a couple of times. Best thing about this TV Movie is the work of director Michael DeCarlo and photographer Russ Goozee. They fill the screen with the colorful set decorations nicely and balance them with sleek floors and table tops.*** The Twelve Trees of Christmas (11/16/13) Michael DeCarlo ~ Lindy Booth, Robin Dunne, Shauna MacDonald, Melanie Brown

JaynaB A sweet but not saccharine nudge at the preservation versus development struggle in any major city, this movie slightly echoes the rivalries of "You've Got Mail" or "Two Weeks Notice".Lindy is convincingly earnest and sweetly intelligent in the lead role, and she's balanced by Robin Dunne as the romantic lead (better known as Will from Sanctuary, another intelligent role).The supporting cast are quirky but not stupidly so, and each has their own gently heart-warming story.Casper Van Diem is there in name only, except for a moment here or there of very rare face time.A worthy entry into the seasonal love-fest.

utgard14 Librarian Lindy Booth wants to save her local library from being torn down by Robin Dunne. So she organizes a tree decorating contest with the neighborhood. How this would save the library is a little vague to me. Publicity for their cause I guess? The rest of the cast includes Casper Van Dien as a real estate developer, Scary Spice as a famous decorator who seems slightly medicated in all her scenes, and Steven Yaffee as the most Canadian-sounding person since Bob & Doug McKenzie. But the whole show really is the pixie-like Lindy Booth. Her bright personality and charm elevates an otherwise boring television movie. She even brings some life to the usually wooden Robin Dunne. Give it a shot if you're into sentimental TV Christmas movies. It's enjoyable enough thanks to Booth.
