UnPerfect Christmas Wish | 2022 Christmas Movies

November 6, 2022 Cassandra Morgan

Another channel brand new to this year’s Christmas movie review list is UPtv. UPtv was formerly the Gospel Music Channel, which rebranded in 2013 to focus on family friendly entertainment. You’ll find shows like Gilmore Girls, Highway To Heaven, and Reba there. We’re focusing on the Christmas movies. First up, UnPerfect Christmas Wish.

Madison (Alys Crocker) and Cooper (David Pinard) have been best friends for over 20 years. Cooper has always been in love with Madison but she is very unaware of it. Currently, she is dating Luke (Ish Morris), who is rich and handsome and perfect…and travels a lot. Madison wants someone who will prioritize her in their life. If only she would realize that Cooper does that plus so much more.

This movie was so utterly frustrating. Every time we see Cooper, he is doing everything he can for Madison. Even we when see them as kids, he jumps on stage to help alleviate her stage fright during a Christmas concert. When they are adults, he literally takes on a second job with her company to be a Christmas elf with her. Madison, on the other hand, is so self-centered that she does nothing for Cooper. As a matter of fact, she actually screws him over a number of times. For example, he told her that he really wanted to go to his brother’s party. He ended up missing it because Madison was sad that Luke didn’t take her out for a super special exclusive date with just the two of them. Luke was in town so he took all of his friends out to dinner. He never said anything to Madison about just the two of them going out. So Madison ruined Cooper’s night because she made stupid assumptions. (As a side note, Madison has been dating Luke for like six months and most of those were long distance. This isn’t a close, long term relationship we’re talking about.) Cooper deserves so much better than Madison.

There are also some weird things I don’t understand. Jackie (Bukola Ayoka) is another of Madison’s best friends. She is never referred to as a roommate. However, Jackie acts like she lives with Madison…except for one scene where she makes Cooper use a hidden spare key to let her in the house. But Jackie makes a lot of coffee and bakes cookies and brings all sorts of pets there. Very confusing. Then there is this other scene where Luke rents out the studio where Madison takes yoga classes to give her the date she wanted the night before. It seems like he rented it at the last minute but no one else shows up to take the now-cancelled yoga class? Madison shows up with her yoga mat and in workout clothes so I don’t think an email blast was sent out to the whole class. Did the teacher call everyone individually? Even then, there is always one or two people that don’t get the message in time and show up anyway. This scene was dumb.

UnPerfect Christmas Wish is in this weird in-between place. It wasn’t a terrible movie. It wasn’t even all that boring. There’s some cute songs to offset any boredom that starts to set in. However, all of the characters are kinda terrible people. Cooper is probably the best and he lets Madison walk all over him. I would probably recommend skipping this one but you won’t hate yourself if you end up watching it anyway.
