BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

musiclady-1 I guess I'm not a skeptic as so many of these reviewers seem to be! I loved this movie. Just take it for what it is - a cute, cuddly Christmas movie that makes kids (and adults!) believe in the magic of Santa. Totally harmless. Yes the acting is not "sterling" but I love the story line. I love the part where Santa says "now you see it; now you don't". At first it works. Then it doesn't! DOH! I just found that humorous. The child actors are "precious" but appealing in their portrayals of the kids who must save Christmas.And I must say I'm a sucker for movies with talking animals, even though their mouths aren't even moving. (See "My Dad is Scrooge") I really enjoyed watching this. Good for all of the family.

sKiLLdEaL I don't like to slam movies in such a harsh way, but the reasoning is clear enough.Let's start with the fact that they are trying to put Santa is the place of God, in many different areas. Not cool. Next to all of that hogwash is the horrible acting. They have even used popular actors, but next to them is poor performances. The acting could have been straightened up, but it was pretty bad. It really reminds me of One Magic Christmas. Someone could die and no one acts like it matters.If you like watching Christmas movies, you may want to skip this on your list. However, I am willing enough to say that it's at least worth watching to judge for yourself.

Jay_Jay2664 This is so bad it isn't worth the effort. Acting is bad, plot teaches kids its okay to lie to parents. Kids riding in cars without seatbelts. Music is drab. It may be intended as an analogy of the war on Christmas but it falls way short. Spoiler....Santa breaks a rule and displays healing power. That causes him to become just a mortal.After he becomes mortal he turns into a bibbed overall farm hands. The final scene the children open a present. The new Santa tells them "some rules are meant to be broken."

tracecowgirl I have known about this Christmas Movie for a long time because I am a huge Trace Adkins fan.I saw the trailer for this movie several times and YES Trace Adkins is in the movie so the combination was the reason I bought the movie. I waited until Christmas to watch the movie. I give it 10 stars. This is a movie for a whole family to watch together. I will be purchasing more copies for Christmas gifts for next year.I highly recommend! I really like the movie!After the movie is over keep watching there is more to see!You can also insert the DVD into your computer for more fun.
