Very entertaining Christmas comedy that really has that festive air with clever premise ...Hilary Burton is very funny in lead role and the gags in Act I are on point.

This is the kind of film you can watch every Christmas and not be bored with it.

Naughty or Nice is an amiable and appealing Hallmark television film. Fun and life affirming in the run up to Christmas but not really that good. Where it should have had some cynicism is replaced by some saccharin.

Hilarie Burton is spirited as Krissy Kringle who lives on Candy Cane Lane. She does not enjoy Christmas due to the attention she receives because of her name. She has a steady job at a firm and hopes to marry her boyfriend sometime soon. However she is suddenly fired by her cold boss and her parents arrange for her a demeaning job as an elf in a local mall.

One day, Krissy receives a package in her mail, and finds herself in the possession of Santa's naughty or nice book. By calling out their name, Krissy can now see in the book what naughty deeds people have done such as her mall boss stealing money, a neighbour stealing decoration, her boyfriend might have been cheating on her and a rival at her former job was stealing her ideas and plans to steal the firm's clients for a rival one.

However she soon realises that the book is in two sections with a nice part as some of the people also do nice deeds.

It is watchable but only in a syrupy television film standard way.

Life is not going well for Krissy Kringle (Hilarie Burton) during the Christmas holiday season. The hot water is out. She's expecting to be promoted but gets fired instead. She's the only without decorations despite being on Candy Cane Lane and gets harassed by her neighbor. She is mistakenly delivered Santa's Naughty or Nice list. The book reveals everybody's naughty acts. Krissy uses it to out people and take revenge against her enemies.

For a Hallmark movie, this actually has an interesting premise. There are a few laughs. Hilarie Burton has a little fun. It's pretty good considering it's Hallmark. It is a little clunky and the production has its limitations. It needs a few more rewrites and a few more bucks. I really like some of the ideas in the premise.
