Max (Eric McCormack) is unhappy with his life, though he is surrounded by friends and family. Eve (Kristin Davis) is content, though she has no friends and disregards her family as she focuses on moving up the corporate ladder. Circumstances thrust them together, and each reevaluates his or her life.
This Hallmark holiday film relies on the supernatural to move the story along, much like "A Christmas Carol". Shirley MacLaine plays the part of Pearl, an angel who stirs the pot with some predictable results.
McCormack is strong in his role. He is uncle and custodian to Lauren (Jaeda Lily Miller), who lost her parents in an accident. Davis is pleasant, but never very convincing as one side of the burgeoning romance that is central to the final chapter. Unlike some other Hallmark shows, Christmas is not an important part of the story; the action could have occurred at any time of the year.
