Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

vw-09222 I have been searching to see when Hallmark will show the movie again, sadly not the Christmas of 2017. Compared to the political climate this year, we need a break and this movie was a break for me and my family. It is 2 weeks before Christmas and this movie along with the family stories of the unusual things that happen at Christmas helped my kids smile a little bit. Too bad the general population spoiled that for us. I am just a grandma trying to make my grandkids smile a little.

heydonnab I don't get the bad reviews here. If anyone tunes in to the Hallmark Channel looking for Oscar material, they're nuts. Most are produced by Larry Levinson and follow the same basic plot. Geez, even my husband recognizes this and asks when did the boy get the girl or vice versa. That said, I love the escapism that Hallmark movies provide, and thoroughly enjoy them. Face it; most of the plots are rip offs of other theatrical releases. That said, this movie is likely the most original, entertaining, and funny plot line I've seen out of Hallmark for a long time. Just sit back and ignore the negative; enjoy a little feel-good laughter!

MartianOctocretr5 Just barely watchable.If you love seeing a bunch of characters screaming at each other about everything in mock panic attacks, then this film might suffice. There seems to be no moral; when someone plays Good Samaritan to someone else in trouble, they wind up being the next victim of grossly exaggerated and unfunny calamity.During accidents, you hear a familiar Christmas song as the tragedy takes place. Apparently they're telling you somebody getting hurt, or a fire breaking out is hilarious. It's not. Most of the characters are not likable, especially the family. It's hard to care about a character that you don't like, or what happens to them, no matter how weird and contrived the events are. It's not too clear if they're supposed to be the stupidest people on Earth, or just the unluckiest, since the emphasis seems to be on how many bad things can happen to these people, rather than why we should care.Think of "The Out of Towners," but with no heart or point, and you have this. Run a video of 34th Street or Wonderful Life instead.

USN-Retired Absolutely the worst movie made in recent years, Christmas or not. The only good thing about this flop is the puppy. One must wonder what they were thinking to actually release this horrid excuse of a movie. Once the process started, the script finished, actors selected…it's as if the process was a train that couldn't be stopped. Someone should have thrown the switch to put this on a side-rail for no one to see. What planet do these people come from? There are no redeeming elements. The plot is weak, the storyline is stealthy, and the acting non-existent. Situations strain credulity. If you manage to get through the first hour, you'll know it was a mistake to watch, and you'll hate yourself of being sucked in by the puppy. Best to record it so you can FF/Watch a little/FF/watch a little more/DELETE. You'll find out the last 15-minutes is as bad as the middle segments. I'm a sucker for even bad Christmas movies, but this is off the scale at a -10, if that were possible.
