ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS (Released to Theaters 1991)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.9|5.0 Starsììì  All I Want for Christmas—great stage settings—is a somewhat sweet story. This is an odd film; it is interesting to watch but by the end of film the movie lacks a Christmas feeling. Its mixing of several romances creates confusion.

She asks a mall  Santa for help.   Additional Thanks  Thank you to Director Robert Lieberman for directing effort. Thank you to Producer Marykay Powell for making the film possible. Cast includes Harley Jane Kozak,  Jamey Sheridan, Ethan Randall, Kevin Nealon, Thora Birch, Leslie Nielsen, and Lauren Bacall.  Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?  Yes. Overall, the basic idea is good. But it lacks a Christmas feeling and becomes convoluted in switching back and forth between several romances.  Video Critique Available Here: Ben Meyers

D3: THE MIGHTY DUCKS (Theatrical Release USA 1996)

 Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì 

D3: The Mighty Ducks—same quality as the first Mighty Ducks movie—presents a good conclusion to the Mighty Ducks series. This story presents well, has been cast well, and supports itself on a well-organized storyline.  Overall, this is a good family share, sports movie that leaves a ‘feel good’ emotion after watching.
