StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Wedding averted and then true love realized at the wedding due to precocious, annoying brat.

Lee Eisenberg More of the out-of-control six-year-old who lives in the Plaza Hotel. It's hard to view "Eloise at Christmastime" as anything more than silly entertainment for the tykes. One might say that the title character suffers from affluenza, meaning that her privilege deprive her of the ability to be responsible (an infamous incident was the boy in Texas who was drinking and driving and accidentally killed some people, but his lawyer used the affluenza defense, and the boy got off).Naturally, the movie's cast caught my eye more than anything. Julie Andrews and Jeffrey Tambor we all know. Christine Baranski plays Leonard's overly analytical mom on "The Big Bang Theory" (she also appeared as the absentee mom in "The Birdcage" and the stepmother in "Into the Woods"). Jason Jones later became a correspondent on "The Daily Show" (he notably interviewed Iranian-Canadian journalist Maziar Bahari, the result of which was the plot of Jon Stewart's "Rosewater").And then there's the movie that Nanny and Sir Wilkes watch. It's "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians", nowadays known only because it got riffed on "Mystery Science Theater 3000".Basically, it'll be hard for anyone over the age of ten to authentically enjoy this.

kez0 Eloise at Christmastime is a Christmas movie my family watches every year, and it's one of the cutest movies. Just like Eloise, "I absolutely love Christmas!". Eloise is a six year old girl who lives at the Plaza Hotel in New York City with her Nanny. In this movie, we get to see Eloise and Nanny prepare for Christmas, a wedding, and Eloise's movie star mother's return home. Many times, people refer to Eloise as a brat, but this movie reveals that Eloise is kinder and more insightful than people give her credit for. As a six year old, she is better at noticing true love, and true heartbreak (in its many forms), before even the adults do. She realizes that not everything is as it seems, as in the case of a grumpy neighbor, and that Christmas should be spent with the people you care about. The scenery and costumes make this movie charming and innocent, just as Christmas for a child should be. Costumes are bright and colorful, the Plaza is decked out with skyscraper sized Christmas trees and twinkle lights galore, and everything is just a bit exaggerated (such as Eloise's wish list and shopping spree), making the movie just as fun and dramatic as Eloise herself.

everwood14_4 This was a very cute movie. Sophia did a very good job for her age. It got kind boring at times but i didnt want to miss it after see Eloise in the Plaza. This is a movie mostly for younger kids but there are jokes that little kids wont get but its still a very good movie.
