This is a modern tale with an old fashioned feel to it. This family film offers up a bit of romance, fantasy, and real-world difficulties which need to be overcome. Ultimately, it is about the priorities of life and romantic love and is worth viewing for these nice themes that are featured.
Laura is a woman who knows what she wants. She wants her boyfriend to propose to her and she wants to move ahead at her job. Soon she is tested with life’s disappointments when her boyfriend does not come through with a proposal and she is fired from her job. She seeks out a life coach who assures her she does not practice “New Age” but “Old Age” principles. The Life Coach, named Noel (and she loves Christmas), grants Laura 12 wishes. The Life Coach later admits to Laura she is an angel who works for one who deals with the heart. She tells Laura to start small and to make sure and read the terms and agreements of the contract. Laura soon receives flowers from her boyfriend, which was her first wish, and she then jumps into the rest of her wish list.
Laura finds out that there is more to appearances than she realized when she learns what a woman who fired her is going through. We are recommending this one for all ages while realizing that due to the romance and life problems featured that it may not keep the very young’s interest. But this is a movie which will have you rooting for the principle characters and we are pleased to award it our Dove “Family-Approved’ Seal.
