Danica McKellar stars as a department store manager desperate to get ahead in the company in My Christmas Dream. Since this is a Hallmark Christmas movie, the odds are good that she'll learn what's really important and probably find love along the way. The only problem is you probably won't care about either outcome because she's pretty unlikable. Her character is written to be rather bland, but her performance is what turns the audience against her. Her acting leaves much to be desired, and as she falls in love with David Haydn-Jones, a single dad, it's pretty unbelievable that she's willing and able to take on motherhood. She's not even believable as a successful career woman.
That criticism aside, if you're a sucker for anything Hallmark at Christmastime—it's okay, I am, too—you'll probably end up sitting through My Christmas Dream at some point during the holidays. It's not the all-time worst film the channel has ever produced, but you'll groan your way through and be glad when it's over. Make lots of popcorn and heap on the Christmas cookies; you'll need it.
