Who payed the critics

Don't Believe the Hype

Absolutely brilliant

How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

I will say that Christmas With A Capital C has one undeniable value. If you want to know the kind of place that spawned the Palin family and inflicted them on the world than this film is a must. Wasilla where Sarah Palin was mayor was just the kind of place you see here with Ted McGinley as chief executive.This looks like a most homogeneous community when McGinley's old rival Dan Baldwin comes back. He's seen the great big world outside and made a small fortune doing it. For some reason he's decided to be the Grinch and is starting a lawsuit to get the nativity scene removed. The 'war' on Christmas is a big theme in the evangelical circuit where this played.Baldwin does have ulterior motives and they are discovered, of course. I only thought that Stephen Baldwin went the Christian route. I've always said Thanksgivings are most interesting when the Baldwins gather. Now more than ever.Nancy Stafford late of Matlock plays McGinley's wife and part of the reason for Baldwin's Grinch like behavior is as always beautiful. Christmas With A Capital C is not overtly preachy and could be enjoyed in a theater as well as a church.

This movie is what one might say"where the rubber hits the road",it was not what I expected after reading someone else's review,I was about to dismiss this as a movie that trashed Christian beliefs.The acting was very good(Daniel Baldwin had you disliking him right from the beginning because of his dislike for those who celebrate Christmas for what it is),but if I didn't watch it I had no right to review it,I am a Christian and I try not to be narrow minded but I do stand firm on my faith so I watched it and was more than mildly surprised and showed we as Christians are tolerant of other faiths,yes sometimes the Christian faith(those who believe in The God and Jesus of the BIBLE)have not lived up to the commands of Jesus to Love everyone and will admit we are an imperfect people.No matter what your faith this movie says what needed to be said and for at least 1 day a year we can come together and be joyful and happy in a world that sees little of it for the other 364 days of the year.It's a shame it was not released for this year 2011 but for me it was a 10 star. :)

The message of 'Christmas with a Capital C' was timely and important. Where many Christmas movies are heartwarming, this program presented definable ways to deal with those who call Christians simple, narrow-minded, and ignorant but who themselves are mean-spirited, arrogant and intolerant. I thought using the example of how Christ treated others as a guide for these townspeople really embodied the spirit of Christmas. Acting was solid in the leads a little weak in the supporting players. Daniel Baldwin was great in his role. I'm sorry to say, I know people just like him.On the whole, I thought this was one of the better movies this season.

In this culture of everyone demanding their rights, I believe this movie helps to break down some misconceptions and help focus on the real reason for Christmas. The trailer seems to be causing some anger from other reviewers but if you watch the whole movie, you will see a lot of the concerns resolved in a very positive, all-American way. A Christian's focus at Christmas and all year round should be based on our faith in and love for God and His love for mankind, and not on protecting our traditions and pushing our rights on others. The movie is well-acted and the conclusion is very touching. I encourage everyone to watch the whole movie.
