    Storyline

    Edit
    A postman falls for the pretty co-worker he was recruited to spy on, only to realize that she may be the woman of his dreams in this romantic holiday comedy. When Matt's boss grows suspicious of new hire Kristi, a "Santa Writer" whose job is responding to letters addressed to the North Pole, she recruits him to spy on her and report back with any unusual findings. But the more time Matt spends observing Kristi, the harder he starts to fall for her until he's hopelessly in love. Later, when Kristi uncovers the clandestine plot, she quits her job and disappears without a trace. Meanwhile, Matt searches high and low for her, to no avail. But when Kristi learns that Matt had no choice if he wanted to keep his job, it's only a matter of time before fate brings them back together. —Anonymous

      Matt Sanders: Emily, don't you think Mrs. Johnson is a little *old* for me?

      Emily: But last week you said you were too old to play dolls with me anymore, and when I asked you to show me how to do a cartwheel, you said you were too old for them, and...

      Matt Sanders: Okay, I'll make a deal with you, I'll stop saying I'm too old if you stop trying to fix me up with the elderly neighbors.

    You've got Christmas mail
    It was not easy telling whether 'Christmas Mail' was going to be good or whether it was going to be bad when first hearing of it, reading the plot synopsis and seeing the advertising. The story did sound interesting if not with much to make it unique and it didn't look too bad. Even the mixed response to the film didn't put me off and actually made me intrigued, to see which side of liked it or hated it my opinion would fall on (hoping leaning towards like).

    Watching 'Christmas Mail' as part of the Christmas film quest that has been happening for the past three years (something that was very much necessary after a tough time), it was for me on neither extreme of brilliant or terrible and found myself neither loving or hating it. If anything my opinion is somewhere in between and am actually pretty conflicted on what my stance is. With there being a fair share of good things but also an equal number of things that didn't work. Can totally understand the mixed response here.

    'Christmas Mail' does have good things. Ashley Scott is engaging enough in her role, though her character could have been better developed. AJ Buckley is easy going and likeable as the more interesting and likeable character. The supporting cast are solid. The chemistry between Scott and Buckley was sweet.

    The film is limited in setting but is pleasingly filmed at least. The music had an affectionate festive atmosphere and had me smiling and humming along, as good music should do. There are moments that amuse, true the humour is very exaggerated but it was still fun and easy to take when aware of the exaggeration being intentional, and others that are quite sweet. The first half is charming and engages.

    Less engaging was the final third in particular, where things got rather contrived and silly. Also found that it did lose quite a bit of energy from thinning out, while also finding the main revelation poorly done with a barely discernible and unintentionally creepy phone voice and the ending feels too neat and anti-climactic.

    Some of the dialogue is awkward and has too much cheese and schmaltz and the film could have done a lot more with developing Scott's character, who comes over as too childish and naive and not much else with her motivations too vague at best. Some of the editing looked sloppy.

    In conclusion, hit and miss but watchable. 5/10.
