Movie #3529 "Christmas Above the Clouds" (Hallmark) Now that I have seen most of the Hallmark offerings this year (2025) , I can say this is one of the better ones for a number of reasons --- the cast is good, it makes fun of the Christmas Carol movie (which deserves it -- Dickens would be happy, I think, with this film) , puts it into a wild plane ride (which super annoys the Miss Neezer character) and has one of the best lines this season. When she is in a library and lonely, she says, "no, not like Donna Reed" -- only fans of "It's a Wonderful Life" would get that joke! Now put her next to fan favorite Tyler Hynes, who is playing her ex-fiancee, and you've got scenes being even funnier. This is truly a movie "out of the box" from the Hallmark standard fare, and I really enjoyed the stab at creativity here. However, toward the end, it weakens when it follows the standard Hallmark ending -- but I still enjoyed it and give it a 4 out of 5.
