Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

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

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

I'm really surprised this doesn't have a better rating. How could anyone really give this group anything less than 8 stars? Anyone that wants to look for an excuse to play Christmas music year-round can look no further than the amazing Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Of course, this video doesn't do them justice when performing on stage because their live shows are 1,000,000 times better than what's shown in this video. Despite being a very successful live group, TSO is still very underrated. Heck, it took a guy in Ohio rigging his Christmas lights to flash to the tune of "Wizards In Winter" for TSO to really get recognized. With the collective efforts of Paul O'Neill, Jon Oliva, and Bob Kinkel, TSO has blossomed into a group that is in such high demand that they need 2 separate tour groups to cover the entire country in a matter of a little over 2 months. If you've never seen TSO live before, I strongly recommend that you do. You get more than your money's worth.

A great way to spend 45 minutes enjoying a most unique and moving collage of Christmas music performed like none other. This all too short collection of Christmas music surrounds moves heart and soul and reminds everyone what Christmas is all about. Allie Sheridan as the Runaway, whose eyes and smiles takes takes us back to our childhood dreams and Ossie Davis as The Caretaker shows us that anything is possible. TSO brings it all together and leaves the viewer wanting more. Do yourself, your friends and family a favor; turn off the cells, kick back, crank up the volume and dim the lights. As a gift, your friends will treasure it for a long time. This is on the shelf along side with Wizard of Oz, A Christmas Carol, and Miracle on 24th St.

This is a fantastic video that will get anyone into the Christmas Spirit. The TSO offers a great take on Christmas music and stories. Ossie Davis as the caretaker once again demonstrates the wide range of acting he possesses. Seeing them in concert was one of the most amazing shows I've seen. From the real snow that fell in the concert hall to the lights and lasers that filled the room. The voices of the performers were fantastic and the music mesmerizing. TSO third Christmas Album - The Lost Christmas Eve, is full of the same enchanting music and a heart felt Christmas story. If you enjoy the music of their first two Christmas albums, get the third and get ready for next Christmas.

For those unfamiliar with the works of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, this video will give merely a glimpse into their musical genius. This band evolved from a heavy-metal band from the mid-80's called Savatage. As they grew musically, they began to incorporate classical music into their work, ranging from Mozart to Mussgorsky to Beethoven. The Trans-Siberian Orchestra was a side project conceived originally to perform Christmas music, blending traditional and new compositions with a group of highly talented musicians.This video is just a touch of what they are. Many "guest" performers, such as Michael Crawford and Jewel appear in the video. Watching this video will hopefully give one a desire to look further into the band. These wonderful artists have woven 3 albums together (2 Christmas, and one not) of intricate story-telling, poetry, and, of course, wonderful music.If you do enjoy what you see and hear, do yourself a favor. Next Christmas, look for their live performance to come to a city near you, and buy a ticket. It is a musical spectacle you will thank yourself for. I have been a Savatage fan for many years, and have now seen TSO play live 3 years in a row. WOW. The collection of musicians, mostly unknowns, is unrivaled. The compositions are wonderful, the performances even more so. Worth every penny.As a side note, TSO's single non-Christmas release, "Beethoven's Last Night", is one of the best albums I have ever heard. Released nearly 2 years ago, I rarely go as much as a week without listening to it.
