Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

cfrias-93538 Overall, I would honestly say that this movie is not about faith. I was hoping of a romantic faith movie, and one that involves prayer, bible reading, hope, and some sort of a Christian view. Would not recommend this to anyone that is a Christian family nor their teenage son/daughter to watch. It shows many areas of temptation, with couples that aren't even married. Please avoid this movie if you want to keep your self holy for the Lord. Much blessing to all of you!

sandrahorobin I have watched a few Christmas films, but Fairytale Christmas (Belle) is by far my favorite. Haylie Duff and Nicholas Gonzalez are great. Will be looking out for more films of them. I hope more are on the acting role. Love them both. Thank you, I loved this. I think Nicholas is a great actor, also Haylie. I have recorded it so can watch it as often as I want. Best Wishes to them both. ☺ I must admit I did not know the actor and actress until watching Fairytale Christmas but I will be waiting for more films. Please keep up filming. 😊 I have seen Haylie in another Christmas film. I have learnt more from Google about them. Very impressed. Mr Gonzalez I would love a signed photograph but you have no fan club.

jocelynbruno Haylie Duff has grown into such a beautiful woman, I really enjoyed her performance in Christmas Belle. I think so many stars are led to believe skinny is that only acceptable size and they struggle like hell to achieve that, and I'm sure a large part of the male population probably like skinny and are responsible for that attitude, I on the other hand appreciate a lady with that nice natural beauty, a bit thick and curvy in the right places, like Haylie Duff. From my point of view, all too often Hollywood have these really beautiful stars like Haylie Duff and they do not produce enough movies while these stars at the peek of beauty! We see so much violence and special effects being used as a substitute for talent. It's like a breath of fresh air to see a sweet love story, as in the movie Christmas Belle, I'm sure I'm not alone in saying, please keep it up! More of the sweet beautiful Haylie Duff!A fan!Josh

Me Lee WOW! I think my eyes are bleeding.● Script => PAINFUL● Dialog => COMICALLY AWFUL ● Music => INCESSANT, JARRING ● Wardrobe => AWFUL ● Set => HORRIBLY MISMATCHED (Location and Writing staff NEVER talked) ● Direction => AWFUL The two men competing for the affection of the lead actress (no names are used here to protect the innocent) are both so "over the top" in their inappropriate behaviors that it's a wonder she doesn't go screaming into the night. The main setting is supposedly an old, high-end, family home, but the house is obviously newly built. The script is constantly referring to a cluttered home full of the lifetime memories of the previous owners, but all we see is a sparsely-decorated house -- no photos, no memorabilia. It looks like a generic model home. Descriptive dialog doesn't accurately describe the settings. And camera angles are often so tight that it's not always clear that the home exteriors are to the same house. Some shots look like the exterior of an upscale mobile home.The "responsible" dad character does inappropriate things left and right.The lead actress is pretty, but she is way above her ideal weight in this movie. The first half of the movie has her dressed in slimming clothes so you don't really notice her weight. But the second half sees her outfitted in clothes that highlight her ... um ... Reubenesque figure. (At times she looks like she outweighs her male lead.) Was the wardrobe department eliminated in the middle of the production? Was there some falling out between the actress and the wardrobe supervisor? Was the catering department fired, so somebody brought in day-old donuts everyday as a substitute? Was the Wardrobe Department actually the local thrift shop? Wardrobe choices are so bad at the end, you'll want to look away.The 'Beauty and the Beast' allusions are tortured at best. They feel like they were tacked on at the last moment. Change two or three words in the script and the connection disappears.The script calls for the man's dog to display a new preference for the lead actress. But when he calls the dog to himself, it appears that the actress is holding the dog in place to keep the dog by her side. Either there was no budget for a trained dog, or nobody bothered to storyboard the scene, or they didn't understand how to capture all the elements of the scene separately and combine them as needed during editing, or the film editor was a hack. Take your pick.A "solarium" plays an important setting in the story, but it's a room built from stone with a window on just one (north-facing?) wall. The sun literally does not shine in this "solarium". So the points of the story that presuppose sunshine in the room are not possible.The "Christmas" setting is completely superfluous. It could easily have been any other holiday. Or last Saturday for that matter. In fact, the movie looks like it was filmed in the late spring. There are "blooming" roses (although some of them look and sound like they were cannibalized from dried flower arrangements). Stock footage of new green grapes on the vine is used, etc. This is supposed to be the middle of December? You can't take a spring day and tack a red ribbon on the wall and think it will effectively convey "Christmas". But that is exactly what the set decorators did in multiple scenes.The movie is chock full of these jarring, incongruous moments. It wouldn't surprise me if this movie started life as a standard "springtime" Rom-Com flick, but in the middle of production it was canned because the dailies were so bad. Yet somehow they won a reprieve after the writer promised to turn it into "Christmas movie" fodder on the cheap.I like corny Christmas movies, but the main attraction here is the epic awfulness. This is a strong candidate for the worst Xmas movie ever. If you ever hold a "bad movie night" with friends, this would be an easy target for MST3K treatment.★ ONE STAR for some of the supporting actors who do a fine job in spite of the writing/direction/cinematography/editing (which often seems little better than what you might see in an uninspired school project). I had considered giving it a second star because at least it does not have an (implied) sex scene (which wrecks so many otherwise acceptable Xmas movies for family viewing). But then I remembered the many interminable and pointless shots of the "good" man without his shirt on. (They become so ridiculous that even the lead actress pleads with him to stop -- but to no avail.) If I think about it anymore I may need to take away the one star I gave it, so I'll stop here.
