Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

LtlHippo Hated this movie. For so many reasons. Like so many have mentioned, signing a contract without a respectable lawyer reading it? How stupid. The evil man who you keep hoping will say in the end she didn't have to pay the rest of the money? Can't you legally void a contract if you think there was some dubious stuff going on? Not disclosing all the terms etc.? Just a stupid movie. It's just as bad in July 2018 as it was awhile back during Christmas time. My least favorite Christmas movie ever. The one good thing is to see a different actress. Tired of seeing Candace Cameron Bure, Danica, and Lacey in so many of the movies. Did I say this was bad?

stevepat99 It is a Xmas movie, right? How the heck do they have an immoral, greedy real estate developer come out a huge winner? On top of that they put him (Mason) in a major scene with townspeople and it is all smiles. When they should have been running him out of town tarred and feathered.How Mason became a 'winner' is nonsensical. It calls for signing a million dollar+ contract with a 'stranger' and without reading it.Two weeks to renovate a run down Christmas Land and all we see is a single purchase of a few cans of paint. Voila, it is magically as great looking as in years gone by.Did you know that a coffee can,not even a large one, cannot hold hundreds of thousands of dollars? Finally, our 'hero' attorney can not come up with a single creative approach to help nail greedy, immoral Mason.

marciaoh Although this Hallmark plot is similar to others in the Hallmark Christmas collection, the well cast actors in this appealing story and the uniquely picturesque setting contribute to the special charm of this film. The opening scene with Nikki as a young child making Christmas ornaments with her grandmother, then the grandmother filming a video of she and her beloved granddaughter on the sleigh adds unity to the plot and theme. Long after the grandmother's passing, the video she made is part of the motivation for luring Nikki back to live at Christmas Land. The conflict is strong throughout complete with a Scrooge like real estate agent who conspires with Nikki's heartless, big city boyfriend to steal the farm from her. The negative reviews of this lovely film on this site baffle me because the reviews seem to be critiquing a plot device that merely reveals the reality of the real estate business today. It's as if some Hallmark viewers cannot accept any realism in a Hallmark movie. In the final scenes of the film, the forgiving attitude of Nikki and the townspeople toward the ruthless estate agent seem to anger many viewers. Yet, it is not out of character for the generous, yuletide-spirited townspeople and the transformed Nikki who is re-energized by Christmas cheer to forgive the greedy real estate villain as they celebrate saving Christmas Land. The ending of Christmas Land offers the happy-ever-after idealism of all Hallmark films complete with the loving couple kissing in the final scene but it also adds a dose of realism that contributes to a larger message. If you have a chance to see this captivating movie, you should do so.

Dennis Jensen The ending of Christmasland is extremely offensive to women and make women out to be stupid and unaware of their legal rights. The female lead is supposed to be a savvy person living and surviving in a big city not some backwoods hillbilly. The ending of this movie leaves her in debt by $1.3 million dollars on property she owned free and clear one week before. Idiotic! If I were in her shoes, I would have brought a friend with me to confront that attorney boyfriend about his collusion with that real estate developer so I would have had a witness. Then I would have hired a great real estate attorney and sued them both then reported the ex-boyfriend/attorney to the State Bar. I love the Hallmark Christmas movies but this one was pathetic!
