Rating: C
Nothing more than average was If You Believe. This one stars Ally Walker, who back in the day starred in that TV show The Profiler - which I never watched but thank god I didn't, because I found Ally Walker particularly annoying and not that good of an actress. Plus, she looked awful and yes, I am superficial. Anyway, her character is Scroogey Susan and after telling her seven-year-old niece that there is no Santa Claus during Thanksgiving dinner, her brother banishes her from his home. When she wakes up the next morning, seven-year-old HER has shown up and becomes her constant companion over the next month. The seven-year-old is there - I guess - to help her find her inner child and eventually it works, of course. The main reason I recorded this movie from 1999 was because the seven-year-old is played by Hayden Panettiere back in the days before she was the cheerleader who needed saving on Heroes. Hayden is cute, but also grating. So, anyway, whenever adult Susan does something, kid Susan is there to criticize and try to change behavior. Of course it works and soon adult Susan is happier, successful at her job again, finding romance and making sacrifices. Tres predictable and tres boring. Because I didn't get invested in anyone or anything, I give it an average rating.
