Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Strong and Moving!
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
This is an astonishing documentary that will wring your heart while it bends your mind
The story was well written. Of course it was low budget. However, the ending was magical. And really well put together. This movie didn't end like every other Christmas romcom, Regardless, have low expectations as one would do with a typical low budget film. I was kinda impressed
I decided to watch this on Netflix simply because i couldn't find anything else to watch. This "Christmas Inheritance" is something that we've all seen a trillion times before, this film is similar to those Christmas TV lifetime movies except this film is a little better made.The performances are good, but the plot is cliched and predictable. As a Christian i can easily see a lot of Godly positive factors in this movie, it's a nice film, but it is not very entertaining. If you like these type of common story lines then you will like this movie.There is a negative element which i want to mention which is the biased view of small towns being good and big cities being negative, a comment was made in a piece of dialogue about why a particular character left New York, it's a generalisation, and as someone who lives in a city i can see why city life and city people can be seen as a negative, but at the same time i lived in a small town for a few months and not everyone was friendly there, so i don't buy everything that this movie was trying to feed me.Christmas Inheritance is predictable from the start and especially when the main female lead meets the male lead as soon as she arrives in that small town. To be honest i was hoping that she would stay with the black guy/her fiance, all he needed was a little bit of an attitude adjustment, or the film should have at least made the ending different by having her go back to New York without the fiance and just having a change of heart in general, that would have actually been better than going back to the small town with the romance cliched ending. This film is too safe, Netflix writers need to step up their game, Netflix are either making unwatchable dark films or films that are too common.Christmas Inheritance is just about watchable, and i say "just about" because it doesn't have any exciting or fun elements.
This definately is what a christmas movie should be. The story is simple, a rich young engaged woman who has it all in her life and is about to inherrit her fathers company has to deliver christmas letters to her dad's old businesspartner in the small town she was born and her dad started his company. However, she can't say who whe really is and only gets 100 dollar to use. Soon she learns that richness isn't to take for granted and of course she meets a super nice guy and falls for him.The characters are easy to like and the story has a nice pace to it. The small town is very christmas-like and it just is the sort of film you can watch with the whole family. Ultimate family movie.
This could have been an extremely cute movie but what is wrong with the Producer and Director. Several of the snow scenes have fake snow that is like whipped cream. Absolutely ridiculous. Do you think viewers that enjoy a cute Christmas viewers don't expect things to look real?? Ridiculous!!
