Is Whoopie Good in this flick?


Oftimes stars have mediocre shallow charachers with little plot to help but struggle through it neverthe less ($$$ speaks).

Ive not seen this movie, but am thinking of buying it.

Any comments appreciated.

All of the above agreed. It is a very sweet movie and Whoopi does a great job in an unusually bitter sweet role.

Well, you can talk about the $$$Bucks, but since Whoop was one of the exec. producers, i doubt she had the big payday she can command, and is well worth.
Wish she'd done a little more writing in it.
But hey, if you can go for a dreadlocked black santaladyclaus, we can all believe in Christmas....And if anybody could pull it off, she does..and with a grand transformation. And ya gotta love the white dreads...
Bravo, Bravo, Ho Ho Ho.....

I think Whoopi is wonderful in this movie.

I thought that Whoopi was fabulous in this movie. It's not the best writing or the best plot. You see a lot of things coming but it is very cute. Whoopi was funny and the rest of the cast was great!

It's a very cute movie & really well done considering it was made for TV. It definitely has a big budget feel to it - I really enjoyed it & I'm sure you will, too.
