SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

dave-538-549895 I like a slushy romantic Christmas movie but this was barely related to Christmas at all. Erin Karpluk puts in a reasonably good performance as the female lead but I should have smelled something odd when everyone seemed to be wanting to get her married off to a totally unsuitable beau.The pace is pretty lethargic as we get introduced to a wide range of family members that never seem to have a bad to word to say to each other, something that is right out of the ordinary in my experience. Almost surreptitiously the religion slips into the dialogue and for a while can be ignored but as we stagger on through the story a Bible appears, grace is said without a murmur before anything is eaten and we're endlessly informed that all around is provided by the good Lord in the sky.While the story is a fairly standard wishy washy slow road to love the religion becomes so outrageous that I couldn't help but start to laugh out loud every few seconds whenever it raised its head. Whatever soppy story there was became a distant second to the hilarious God stuff.Needless to say, there's no sex in this at all. I can recall only one kiss. There were some lingering shots of hands being held though. Quite forgettable.

douloscjp Finally, a good, Christian Christmas movie. One with romance, family, giving, etc. This isn't on par with A Christmas Carol (and few are), however, the whole family enjoyed it. There were feel good moments throughout and in the denouement. Don't be fooled--those that decry its overt Christian overtones, are the ones that hate it for that very reason, but can't be honest about it. Yes, Christmas is about Christ, the Savior, not paganism revisited. The spirit of Christmas is bigger than Christ, as all can attest to--it's about giving and having good times with family and friends. If you're looking for a movie that all of your family can watch and enjoy--and all have an entertaining time doing so, then I believe Christmas Lodge is right up your alley.

wunderwood Could have been worse. This film felt fake from the start, but I thought we were in for a Christmas movie and was willing to cut it some slack. When they arrived at the lodge and had separate rooms after dating for over a year, I got a bit surprised, and then when the boyfriend was over the top "gee honey I love the city and you don't", it became obvious that this was not a good script.Sorry to say I wasted the time on this and after coming to IMDb and reading the reviews, it's obvious now that the evangelicals are choosing to give it ten stars due to the references to God and Christ, but that's no excuse for such a lame movie. Even a true believer ought to be able to see this as a sorry excuse for Christmas entertainment.Avoid this movie.

LoveMyTwoFerrets This is the best movie I have seen in a long time! I love all the actors and I feel they all worked well together! The story is excellent ... the way the families past and present are intertwined in this beautiful setting is what dreams are made of.I love the fact that the actors spoke of Christ and their faith on an every day basis ... they allowed the Lord to guide their footsteps and that is a difficult challenge in today's fast paced world. The genuine depth of devotion to following the Lord and depending on Him to meet one's needs as He sees fit ... well ... it's such a blessing to me and proves that families that are raised up in a Christian environment will keep those values throughout their lives! Thank you for this wonderful story!
