Mariah Carey directs the Hallmark family holiday film A Christmas Melody. Lacey Chabert stars as a single mother who’s forced to move back to her hometown in Ohio after her LA fashion boutique goes out of business; and to help her daughter adjust, she gets her an audition to her school’s Christmas pageant. Chabert gives a strong performance and has good chemistry with newcomer Fina Strazza; who proves to be a rather charming child actress. The plot is predictable and follows all the usual clichés, but it also has a nice message about adjusting one’s dreams as you go through live and not letting the past define you. And while this is clearly a low-budget film, it puts its money in the right places; delivering some impressive costumes and sets that capture the festiveness of the season. It has some weaknesses, but overall A Christmas Melody is a fun and entertaining film that has the Christmas spirit.
The movie was cute. Mariah Careys "Acting"(?) left alot to be desired.
she should stick to singing.

If you can keep from looking right at Mariah Carey's horrible performance you'll be fine. Otherwise it's a cute movie.
