"Is is about Karen praying to speak with the manager?"

No sir.

"In A Christmas Prayer, Natalie (Robins), a children’s book illustrator struggling with creative burnout, finds unexpected inspiration when she comes across a little girl’s Christmas gift list. Unlike other children’s Christmas lists, Caroline writes her list of heartfelt prayers to Jesus, requesting blessings for her family, friends, and community – including one to ask that her recently widowed dad (Russell) will find happiness again. Touched by Caroline’s list, Natalie begins to secretly fulfill each blessing. In turn, she is inspired to create a new character, Adeline the Angel, to illustrate the ways Jesus quietly works through everyday people to answer prayers with love and grace.

“A Christmas Prayer is a heartfelt film about the miracles that happen when people come together for the greater good, and it is a powerful reminder of why we celebrate the season,” said Bill Abbott, President & CEO, Great American Media. “Rooted in faith, family, and community, the film exemplifies what makes Great American Christmas stand apart from other holiday movie events. Great American Christmas original films reflect the true meaning of the season with heart, purpose, and authenticity,” Abbott concluded."

I watched this last night and felt disappointed at the end. It started off well.
People should see it to make up their own mind.

(Also it looks like they spent about $15 recreating The Beast )

As far as older movies popping up on Netflix, a good one is "The Family Man".

I'm not a huge Nick Cage fan but he does a good job in this. And it's a "feel good movie" which seems to be needed.at this time...

Made me sad, but I liked it.

I like Tim Roth, too. Did you see him in Tin Star? Streams on Amazon, or you can pay on Apple TV.

Normally I post my opinion....I didn't on this one because of the ending.
But then I thought...what ending would be better? The build-up is the movie.

The actors all did a good job...I thought. I liked it...but wouldn't pay to watch it.

Spoiler alert... We don't see what happens to Chicago. The missile may have been a dud or hoax (no warhead).

That would have been enough for me.
