Description

She does not know what to do and she meets a older female neighbor who she befriends. The neighbor Elsie Waybright is played by Della Reese. Elsie has a basket to put in written requesting asking for God's help for these request. They are prayer request and Olivia puts her request in Elsie's basket. They talk about God and his love. Olivia (Izabela Vidovic) and her best friend Lucas (Tyler Humphrey) have to write about their biggest, most surprising wish as part of a school project. For Olivia she would love for her single mum, Melinda ( Teri Polo - The Christmas Heart), to meet someone and get married. When the kids in Olivia's class learn about a superstition of making a wish whilst throwing a stone at an old dilapidated house, which happens to be next to where Olivia lives, they all give it a go especially when some of the wishes start to come true. What Olivia doesn't realise is the old house is owned by the grumpy Dr. Nathan Davis ( Kevin Sorbo - The Santa Suit) who rents it out to Elsie ( Della Reese - Dear Secret Santa), a former singer who is now a recluse. Olivia ends up befriending Elsie and learns that you need to trust God especially when her mum and Dr. Davis become friendly as Olivia likes the new substitute teacher Mr. Brennan (Rob Boltin) a lot more. At times, the acting with the two children, Olivia and Lucas, seems a bit forced and overly done. So, it doesn't come across quite real for kids. Maybe the producers were trying to impress on viewers that this was really a Christmas movie about kids.

I respect Teri Pollo more and more for her gentle, caring characters especially after watching both this and The Christmas Shepherd. Kevin Sorbo also does well as the man who takes interest in Teri's Melinda. This TV movie for 2012, "Christmas Angel," fits that bill. There is enough difference in it, that it's almost too complicated a story to tell well in just under 90 minutes. A single mom and a daughter live next door to an old abandoned house with boarded windows. Melinda works as an events coordinator for a bakery, bistro and catering shop owned by her friends, Jeb and Daphney Conroy. The setting is in Louisiana. Daughter Olivia's best friend is the son of the Conroy's, Lucas. One day, he throws a stone at the old house and makes a wish as some sort of superstition that I never heard of.

RANDOM MOVIE QUOTE

In the meantime, Nathan and Melinda are starting to hit it off and he even forces a kiss on her. Go get her Sorbo. Nathan lets her know that he has a family member having serious health issues and was dumped by his wife because he was shooting blanks. He is looking for a family and Melinda needs a man. She realizes is when she tries to open a jar of jelly. I’m sure that wasn’t the first time she realized it or the most impactful but a man in the house would have been great to open the jar of jelly. If not a man, she could have run out to the store and got one of those squeeze bottle jelly things and she would have been in business. But of course "Christmas Angel" features something else, in fact a few things else but what I am on about is the God side as Elsie shows Olivia that some things only God can do no matter how much you want things to work out the way you think are best. And whilst "Christmas Angel" does have a religious side it isn't preachy but instead has a more of a wholesome nature as through Olivia's friendship with Elsie she learns how to be smart but also thoughtful when it comes to others.

Christmas Angel (working title: The Angel Next Door , and titled as Angel at Christmas in the UK) is a GMC original movie that premiered on November 24, 2012. For a while it appears this young girl, played fantastically by an 11 year old Izabela Vidovic, has all the maturity and gumption of someone much older, but Olivia soon overstretches badly. As does little Izabela, who, at only eleven years old, has a tremendous presence. I hope the charming, adorable child enjoys an upward surge to her career; she's someone to keep your eye on as the years roll by. She has a great and natural chemistry with all her adult costars, but I don't know if credit is due to her or to the director, Brian Herzingler. Usually, when everyone in the cast gives good performances, I tend to credit the director, who must have helped foster their talent and chemistry. Everyone in Christmas Angel plays very well off each other, from Teri and Kevin's awkwardness to Izabela and Tyler's camaraderie. This film is full of good cheer and believable performances. The late Della Reese gives a stan out performance.

I watched this on UP Channel last nice. The story is about a little girl named Olivia played by Izabela Vidovic who wants to help people that need help. She was raised by a single parent. The latter are so formulaic that one after another of such films seems a repeat or copy with just slight changes from the previous one. Many of these can seem like daytime soap operas, and after a while the films of this type become mundane and hardly interesting. The challenge for these films, to hold interest of viewers is to provide something new and different enough - still keeping their romance theme. This is not a story about an angel from heaven, or an actual Santa who makes wishes come true through miracles. It is more of a secret Santa trope. But even that doesn't cover it all. There is also a very precocious yet extremely lovable elementary school girl who refuses to stand by and let others suffer if there is anything she can do about it.
