helynn-33580 Being from the area I enjoyed seeing some familiar spots. I enjoyed it as much as any of the Hallmark movies I love.

alieneyes Why, oh why, must we be subjected to inane scripts and insipid acting in so many of these holiday movies? Here is another log on the pyre of "truly bad cinema". We are encouraged however, to overlook the plethora of flaws in the name of good intentions and holiday cheer. I weary of the sport. The characters are so shabbily constructed one really doesn't care if they live or die. The story itself progresses too rapidly and then reels off unexpectedly into bizarre flashbacks where the viewer is left uncertain if they're coming or going. The cliche's, corny attempts at humor, and patently UNoriginal plot make this a tedious journey. It's sad to say it took an exercise of will just to finish a movie- but it did. Go back to your lives citizens ; there is truly nothing to see here.

JPFabiani This movie is obviously not a mega budget movie, and it shows on screen not on the acting or the production but in the dialogues, the movie is well done, nice shots, almost flawless editing and overall is OK, but in Christmas movies is not about how big the production is or how famous the actors or even how much money it made, it is all about the message that tries to get across to our kids and families of the world, and this movie does just that. There are flaws in it it is true, but that is what makes it better because unintentionally or not it makes it more real. It touches the deep roots of our childhood those roots that still make us believe he will bring us presents, those roots that still make us share the story with our kids. So don't watch the movie to criticize it because it is not a competition but watch it to enjoy and meditate out its meaning. Watch it with your family simply to enjoy the spirit of Christmas.

mikeharmount Dean Cain, former superman, stars in this mesmerizing train wreck, where the only joy to be had while watching is to make fun of it.You aren't going to recognize anyone else in this movie unless you attended church with or went to school with the group of friends behind the production of this low-budget Christmas movie. But if you're looking for family-friendly, you found it. Only the most puritan of minds would find fault with this well-intended film where every story in the movie gets a happy ending. In fact, the only thing offensive about it is the writing, acting, and production values, which are below the scale of a bad made-for-TV movie. The dialog is laughable, the acting is atrocious, and yet we couldn't turn it off. Santa plays more like a dirty old man than a kindly old elf, and the other cast of one-dimensional characters is on par with an after-school special.Fun fact: look for the plaque on superman's desk that reads "Real heroes don't wear capes."
