My best friend and I have a saying we use while shopping for clothes. We'll hold up a garment that just missed being cute and say, "This had potential." I know I use that phrase to describe a lot of movies, but bear with me as I say it again: Christmas in Angel Falls had potential.
I absolutely love Beau Bridges and will watch anything he's in, so when I caught him on a Hallmark Christmas movie, I was pretty excited. He plays a guardian angel who mentors another guardian angel, Rachel Boston. Rachel tends to get too involved when she helps people, and Beau stresses the importance of free will. Then, during her next assignment, she gets too involved again and learns what it feels like to fall in love. If this weren't a Hallmark Christmas movie, it probably would have gone a better direction. Without spoiling anything, I'll just remind you that at Hallmark, a Christmas romance is literally the most important thing in the world.
You're going to have to be in a certain mood to pop in this movie and enjoy it. If you're not up for grumpy people getting cured with a nice smile, decades of hurt being healed by tiny apology, and the spirit of Christmas making everyone forget about their serious problems, you'll probably get a cavity from this movie. I've already made an appointment with my dentist. I got my first cavity when the Beau and Rachel's characters were introduced as Michael D'Angelo and Gabby Messenger. Then again, it's Beau Bridges, so you're guaranteed one good part of the movie.
