"Jeff" (Chris Spinelli) is a man who is going through a rough time in his life. Not only has he just lost a promotion he thought he was going to get, but the man who replaced him has decided to fire him for no reason as well. In addition to that, his excessive drinking, along with his inability to hold a steady job, has created a terrible strain on his marriage. So much so, that his wife "Tina" (Craijece Danielle) has just about had enough. Likewise, his adult daughter "Cody" (Sarah Brine) has also noticed the friction in his marriage and, to possibly remedy the situation, she takes him to a mystic by the name of "Madame Ming" (Nicole D'Angelo). To that effect, although her advice brightens his outlook at first, he soon becomes even more depressed--to the point of seriously considering suicide. But then something happens which changes everything! Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that I liked the overall plot of the story which depicted Jeff's anxieties and the turbulence it caused in his marriage. Unfortunately, there were some scenes which caused me to wonder if they were meant to be taken seriously or not. For example, the scene involving Jeff and his new boss "Murray" (Jeff Rector) appeared to be comedic in nature. But I couldn't tell. So, either the comedy fell flat, or the drama lacked seriousness. Either way, it was an awful scene. Additionally, the acting and some of the sets needed improvement as well. In any case, I wasn't very impressed with this movie, and I have rated it accordingly. Below average.

However I don't know what's up with every review here being a high rating, and then every review getting silently down voted. If you have an issue with the film you can write a review. I am quite curious to see what people made of it because while I wasn't bored, I was totally confused....

Worth the rent. A bit of everything for everybody. Just a solid good christmas movie!

I thought the film was great but it had it's moments where it dragged a little. They could have done better with the editing but even then it's still 7 stars in my opinion.

An awesome christmas movie filled with lots of laughs, emotions and hope! We need more movies like this. A must watch

Excellent drama film. Great acting and an entertaining storyline. One of those fantasy, wishes do come true type of flicks. I highly recommend it

This was a gem of a film. A nice Christmas movie of a couple struggling to make ends meet but is then given a chance to re-write everything thanks to a mysterious letter. One wish is all it takes. Good drama film to watch with friends and family.

Good to see a decent Christmas movie finally. Plenty of surprises with ups and downs. Not a bad ending also, good script and in all a high quality indie flick
