NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Christmas-Reviewer This film for some reason I did not care for. I love the cast. I thought the story was over reaching. Recurring dreams and a discovery follow when a businessman (Richard Thomas), his wife (Annette O'Toole) and daughter move in with an elderly widow (Maureen O'Hara) who needs help. The couple see the woman in different ways. He sees her as a (Rhymes with Witch) and she sees the lady as "Sad and alone". Clues about the old woman past are nowhere to be found in the home but as a friendships grow the woman's guard comes downI can not fault the actors performances in this movie. They are excellent. Maybe I was tired when I watched this I will give it another try next year. If my mind changes so will the review. The reason why I will watch this again is because so many people like this film that I think I might of missed something.

TheBlueHairedLawyer Sure, it's a little religious so if you're not Christian (I'm an atheist) it can get on your nerves, but The Christmas Box is everything a Christmas movie should be. Unlike Elf (2003) or Prancer (1989), The Christmas Box has no crude humor and it isn't too hokey.This movie features a slightly dysfunctional family, but not so much that it makes the movie depressing. There's no swearing, no fart noises, no nudity and nothing that'd make it inappropriate for children. I put it on for my younger brother last night and he loved it. The soundtrack was great, the acting wasn't bad and the plot was creative.If you want a nice, family-friendly holiday movie to watch, look no further! The Christmas Box isn't perfect but it's one of those movies that'll have you remembering the nostalgia of childhood Christmases in your past, rather than running for the door to go puke in the snow the way Elf and Prancer do.

Neil Doyle This is a handsomely produced tear-jerker, nicely played by MAUREEN O'HARA, RICHARD THOMAS and ANNETTE O'TOOLE and obviously aimed toward the Christmas market with a sweet tale about a mysterious Christmas BOX residing in the attic of an old lady's mansion.Maureen O'Hara is still a pleasure to look at and listen to in the role of a rather crotchety, firm-minded elderly lady who is in need of household help and accepts Thomas and O'Toole, along with their young daughter, when they apply for the job. Thomas needs the extra money to run a ski shop but is not exactly fond of O'Hara and her ways. It's his daughter, Jenna, who eventually does establish a bond with the woman and more revelations soon come about with respect to the mysterious Christmas box in the attic and O'Hara's past.It's strictly sentimental stuff, so be advised that the pace is on the slow side as the character revelations are gradually made clear. But if you like warm-hearted tales of Christmas (or any of the holidays for that matter), you can't go wrong with this one.Summing up: Handsomely produced with fine performances, well worth viewing.

mwilows This movie is great!A must see.I even watched it in July.Maureen O'Hara is a class act, and Richard Thomas is a gem. The movie just gets you in the mood.I love the fact that it starts with the Thanksgiving holiday working its way up to Christmas. The film has a feeling of Christmas' past. The moment of decorating the tree was heartwarming. The portrayal of the little girl and her love is also a warm feeling. The caring for Mrs. Parkin is remarkable. The end was tearful, but also joyful.
