First off I wouldn't call this a holiday movie, just a movie that happens to take place at Christmas time. While the concept was good but the classic, "the grass isn't always greener on the outside", the telling of it fell flat. The ending was just down right horrible and made zero sense.

This movie is cute, but honestly very cliché. The same old "having a new life and realising I love my old life", as well as the typical high school setting with mean girls and cliques is starting to become old. The acting is also really bad for 85% of the time. Sweet story line and has a solid plot but other than that it's an average movie with mostly flat humour and bad acting.

This holiday movie will not give you trite rants about the holiday spirit or bombard you with clichés. Through the power of her tarot cards, a girl finds herself having the kind of life she envied, but realizes that everyone has to work hard to get what they want and that no one can earn friendships with everyone. Instead of moping, she takes responsibility and tries to adapt to her new lifestyle. The bond between her (Bailee Madison from Once Upon A Time) and her father (French Stewart from 3rd Rock From The Sun) is the biggest highlight. It is also important that she turns down advances from an emotionally abusive boy at school. It is an all-around feel-good movie.
