Despite me being a lover of Hallmark movies, I didn't enjoy much " A Very Merry Toy Store". In the first half an hour I was already bored and unamused. The acting, the actors and characters, the plot, all seemed like from a low-quality soap opera. It wasn't believeable and real enough and the emotions and chemistry were so poor. The supporting characters could be better but they weren't developped enough. It was fine, I guess, it's ot thaat bad, but it was lower than my expectations, even though I wasn't expecting much. Although no, I was expecting a good romance movie since I saw so many comments about Mario Lopez being in it (having no idea who is he, but still). I didn't want the review sound so negative, but I just can't remember much good about it. I mean, yeah, it's sweet, just like any hallmark movie. And Christmas is there only like a busy time of the year for toy-stores.All in all, it is tolerable, but not good enough to tempt me.

Loved the movie, but not so much the casting of Brian Dennehy with Beth Broderick who is 20 years his junior, too noticeable an age gap for a couple who were supposedly married at the end of the show.

There were no reviews on "A Very Merry Toy Store". I saw the low rating of 5.6 and no review. But with Mario Lopez and Melissa Joan Hart, I thought would at least give it a look. But after the first 10 minutes, I wanted to continue. It looked cute and the actors were ALL so good in their roles. Brian Dennehy! That's always good. So, I just wanted to put out a good word for this Hallmark movie. It's so much better than many others I've watched, but I watched anyway, because I love the Christmastime movies. They warm my heart! And this just does NOt deserve anything lower than 7. Mario can't help being adorable! Just don't let this low score prohibit your watching. Expecially if, like me, you love the Hallmark Christmas movies. Maybe it's only an 8 or 9m but tonight it's a 10!
