My dear friends on the Nice List, in the interest of enjoying a little holiday cheer for Christmas in July, this weekend I checked out A Christmas Mystery.
Spoiler level here will be mild, nothing you wouldn't know from the trailer.
When her best friend's father is unjustly accused of stealing the town's famous Jingle Bells, a girl uses her sleuthing skills to track down the real thief.
A Christmas Mystery is a by-the-numbers holiday tale, full of faces you'll know even if you don't quite know the names. It's fair to say no one's talent is over-taxed, but the familiar story is as comfortable as your favorite fuzzy Christmas socks. The sunny setting keeps A Christmas Mystery from feeling super Christmasey, and odds are you'll see the ending coming from as far away as the North Pole, but if you're looking for an easy, feel-good film, A Christmas Mystery will find a place on your Christmas list.
A Christmas Mystery clocks in at a quick 87 minutes, and is rated PG for "mild thematic material."
It won't exactly keep you on the edge of your sleigh, but A Christmas Mystery is a sweet story with a likeable cast, good fun for the whole family.
Of a possible nine Weasleys, A Christmas Mystery gets five.
A Christmas Mystery is now streaming on Max.
Merry Christmas in July, everyone!
Until next time...
