Leave your thoughts about Dolly Parton's Christmas on the Square.
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Sarah BoesveldChristmas on the Square lets the viewer kick back and indulge in all things Parton. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperThis is an unabashedly sentimental, family-friendly mashup of “A Christmas Carol” with “It’s a Wonderful Life,” sure to leave you smiling and maybe even a little teary-eyed. |
| PolygonPetrana RadulovicPart cheesy Hallmark movie, part community-theater production, part A Christmas Carol meets It’s a Wonderful Life, the special is a mosaic of holiday tropes — and that’s a good thing. The acting is over-the-top, and the plotline has as much subtlety as Dolly’s bedazzled platform boots, but its larger-than-life theatrical nature makes it even more enjoyable. |
| The New York TimesWesley MorrisIt’s bad, the sort of bad that knows what it is — campy rather than camp. “Campy” is camp with a diploma and a martini. And “Christmas on the Square” is a drunk. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreChristmas on the Square isn’t much, but what’s here is a pleasant enough time-killer, which is more than you can say about the vast majority of holiday-themed Hallmark/Hulu/Netflix et al fare this season. |
| Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzSo sickeningly sweet dentists should show it in their waiting rooms to ensure business, the film just isn’t very good, even by treacly holiday film standards. |
| The Associated PressLindsey BahrChristmas on the Square is pure, studio-lot fantasy and not really trying to be anything else. |
| User ReviewBrimmladyI absolutely loved this movie. I especially loved the message of hope in these days we are in. It’s easy to lose focus of what is important in life and I was in tears as this movie brings into focus some soul searching reality of todays struggles. |
