Dial S for Santa (TV Movie 2023). 1h 30m

“While the story is cute I found Lana to be annoying. I donu0026#39;t care if you lost your dad years ago during Christmas time, thatu0026#39;s no reason to be a rude b*tch to your mother, interfere and insert yourself where you have been explicitly told not to, and crush the belief of an eight-year-old child.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe actress playing the role of Lana also didnu0026#39;t help things. Sheu0026#39;s a bit stiff or something was off in general. The had no facial expressions it was like she was emotionally detached, either reading her lines, or only rotely reciting memorized lines with no feelings… somehow her face couldnu0026#39;t match the emotions of the time. The one scene where she wakes up with a fully PERFECT face of make-up and lipstick is also annoying, lol. Not even realistic, not that movies that are just for u0026quot;funu0026quot; have to be realistic, but something things should.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI do get u0026quot;lossu0026quot; having an affect on a person for longer than just a year, but her attitude just made her an unlikable character. Her mother is doing everything she can to accommodate Lana, yet Lana still behaves like a 12-year-old that doesnu0026#39;t get her way and has a tantrum when she doesnu0026#39;t like that other people have moved on.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI knew who was the culprit pretty early on as it seemed kind of obvious to me.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, it was mostly a cute distraction, but one of those seen it once was enough movies.”
