Movie #2182 "A Kismet Christmas" (Hallmark 2022) A children's lit writer uses a gimmick from her grandma --- Kismet cookies --- as the catalyst to super hero qualities in her heroes. In reality (well, at least to Hallmark) the cookies are supposed to have some super powers of their own --- if you took one and put it under your pillow, you would dream of your true love. Okay...... that's a bit farfetched, but it is something you have to buy in the film. I don't usually like films based on something like that, but it works for this film because it is only used a little bit --- it comes in when it has to, in order to make the film end. Anyway, (can you tell this is a complex plot?) she comes home for Christmas and meets up with her old buddy (as a kid) and his adorable daughter, who happens to be an obsessive fan of the writer. A lot to suspend belief for here, but really a cute film because all the characters are winsome, smart (everyone knows the reference to kismet~!) and fun-loving and funny! By the end I kind of wanted to find the recipe for this magic cookies. I'd give this a 4 out of 5 and recommend it.
