Movie #2217 ........................."Holiday Spectacular" (Hallmark)

 Movie #2217 "Holiday Spectacular" (Hallmark) I really really enjoyed this one because while it dealt with the same old idea of following your dreams, it gives a really good history of the Rockettes, what it took to be in the organization and what it would feel like to do those shows over and over again, with all the costumes, etc.  There was one costume change from a line of nutcracker toy  soldiers to bright sparkly bathing suit-type outfits --- whew!  I never would have made the  costume  changes!  hah!  Ann Margaret tells the story within the story to her granddaughter, and the girl who plays her as a young girl had a lot of star quality and winning sweetness about her.  And the guy photographer who keeps taking her picture as she roams around NYC is a winner, too.  I found the whole thing most enjoyable and would give it a 5.
