| User ReviewJake BA new Christmas tradition in our house! The comic relief of Willie's character made us laugh several times. An overall "feel good" holiday movie. |
| User ReviewJeani MMy husband and I went to see this in the theatre and loved it. We didn't know much about it except what we read in the synopsis beforehand. It was a unique, yet predicable story line. We found it to be very fun and enjoyable. Yes, it's a feel-good movie that made me laugh and cry at the same time, and we both loved that! We stuck around for the credits and realized that it was made in Evansville, Indiana, only an 1 1/2 south of us. Being long-time Hoosiers, this made us very proud. |
| User ReviewMatthew UHaving the kids adds a lot of energy and a lot of Christmas spirit to this film. It hooks me every time I've seen it! |
| User ReviewRoger DI respect all they were trying to do and the class they show in doing it. That said, there was not one aspect of film production that succeeded. The direction, cinematography, lighting, sound, music, all were barely serviceable and, at times, laugh out loud bad. The script was a huge fail with inane dialogue and a complete and total lack of surprise. From the first scene I knew exactly how this film would play out. As to the acting, being kind I would say that aside from the leading lady (who was pretty good), most were just adequate. There were two performances that were so completely horrid that every time one of them came on screen, the movie ground to a halt. No names since one of them was a child and does not need to be trashed at his/her age. I blame the director. Suffice it to say that neither one could play a boulder with any level of sincerity. Yet I have to admit the characters did grow on me to a degree and I found myself emotionally involved at the climax. A little. My best advice to the writer/producer/director Chip Rosetti - you need an independent producer who can and will tell you when it isn't working. By keeping all the reins, you lost a real chance to make something special out of a worthwhile notion. I wanted this to be a terrific Christmas present but what I got was coal. |
