Snowglobe (2007)
A young woman discovers a Christmas-themed dreamworld inside a magical snowglobe. Angela loves Christmas more than anything. However, her family does not share her love for the holiday at all. When she is about to breakdown because of her family, she receives a snowglobe in the mail. When she opens up the snowglobe, she is transported into the world inside, where Christmas is the heart and soul for everyone who lives there. She discovers she can return to her world by going down a small path in the small forest at the edge of the village, and can return whenever she winds up the snowglobe. After a long set of visits to the globe, she accidentally gets trapped inside.

Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
Best movie of this year hands down!
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Very upset that this scale doesn't exceed 10, because I would give it a 15 at worst. The fact that it was a snow globe within a snow globe...mind blowing! As a christmassy version of Inception, it challenges the capacity of both the mind and the heart. Through laughter and tears, smiles and frowns, and every other sensation along the rainbow spectrum of emotions, this movie will have you consistently on the edge of your seat. A scintillating performance by Christina Millian sparked a strongly worded letter to Barack Obama himself in regards to the obvious snub she suffered during the Emmys. In my humble opinion, she deserves a star on Hollywood Blvd for each scene she appeared in during this movie. Between the witty banter, topical jokes, and physical humor, this movie will create more seconds of laughter than flakes of artificial snow.
This one was a surprise. I've been a fan of ABCFam's 25 Days of Christmas since I was a kid, so I'm always looking forward to their premieres. This one was quite a surprise. Probably one of their better ones in years. I don't think Christina Milian is much of an actress, but she carried this movie pretty well. Her performance in this made me give her 2010 movie Christmas Cupid a watch (that one was not good at all). Anways, the story is fantasy, so be prepared to have to suspend realistic thoughts. The guy Douglas made me laugh when he made it to the real world. It's worth a watch.
I found this movie absolutely delightful! -- who among us hasn't had a snowglobe with a wonderful Xmas scene that we wished we could walk into??I also loved the contrast of the simple, innocent snowglobe people ( some of the funniest moments was their trying to cope with the world outside their globe) with the depiction of a VERY REAL slice -of -life Brooklyn , NY family--not your "Leave it to Beaver" family, but the way people REALLY behave. Some may find them dysfunctional, but I found them VERY REAL! I also liked the unique idea of making it an interracial family of the interesting combo of African-American and Italian. --a film I'll pull out and watch for holidays again and again!
I really enjoyed this movie. It's a cute and fun holiday movie with a great message...when you search for perfection you may get more than you bargain for and perfection in the end turns out flawed.Christina Milian shines in this movie and the entire cast is great. This is a holiday movie for the whole family. Great job Christina Milian!The movie is a fun, charismatic approach to exploring the perfect Christmas in the eyes of Angela played by Christina Milian. Angela is in search of a perfect Christmas but she is frustrated with current circumstances.This movie teaches you to appreciate what you have, cherish the family that you have (no matter how dysfunctional they may be) and make the best of your life.
