Christmas movie review: Debbie Macomber's Call Me Mrs. Miracle

Debbie Macomber's Call Me Mrs. Miracle is a Hallmark Channel original from 2010 and is sort of a sequel to 2009's Debbie Macomber's Mrs. Miracle, which I reviewed back then, because it also features the same Doris Roberts character of Mrs. Merkle, aka Mrs. Miracle, who steps in to manipulate people in a magical way to make their lives better.

This year, Mrs. Merkle gets a job in a toy section of a department store run by the store owner's son. The son has to sell out the toy department but has made the potential mistake of not carrying the "it" toy of the year. She helps him over the course of the movie. Meanwhile, a young boy (who wants that "it" toy) is being cared for by his aunt because his father is serving overseas in the military and when they visit the toy section, their paths cross Mrs. Merkle's, as well as the guy running the toy section. And so starts the delightful meddling from Mrs. Merkle, leading to (surprise!) a romance between the boy's aunt and the toy department guy. Along the way, she also helps the little boy, the department store's owner, that owner's relationship with his son, a co-worker... you get the idea.

Overall, it was a very cute film, a similar theme to the first Mrs. Miracle movie and well-acted and enjoyable. And a welcome break from the run of not-very-good Christmas movies that I've watched lately.

Rating: A
