I love this movie so much
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Poor boy. Mom has to drive a &60,000 Mercedes-Benz SUV. He lives in a $1 million home. But Mom is too busy to get him a haircut and, as a result, he has a serious discipline problem. Dad is a COOK (gasp, how low can you go?). Do you know how that makes the millions of people who cook for a living feel? This is the kind of crap Hollywood has churned out to insult and humiliate "middle America". No wonder that hate us in Kansas.
Christmas Town is a movie about a Christmas town. The town is all about Christmas. There are people who love Christmas in this town. But what the casual viewer doesn't realize is that the entire town looks a giant parking lot outside of a walmart with buildings that were built with garbage. The people who live in Christmas town must have all kinds of diseases and infections because of the structure of the entire town being made of garbage. All in all, the woman in Christmas town discovered the meaning of Christmas, found love with a strange guy, and repaired her relationship with her father after defeating him in hand-to-hand combat. I missed some of the movie because I was busy throwing up. Ho ho ho!
I have had a crush on Nicole De Boer since her Days on Star Trek, but I couldn't help but feel terrible pity for her while watching this terribly cast, and cheaply produced made for VHS movie. As romantic lead, Muldoon's lifeless acting could have been a satire of Keeneu Reeves at his worst. (spoiler: his wig upstages him in every scene.)The child actor's pretended innocence is so projected you wonder if they ever delayed their shooting sequence to clean him up and escort hookers out of his trailer. The nice thing is that they spared all expenses in showing how they spared all expenses. Whether it was extensive use of B-Roll and blue screen effects, or cleverly filling time with voice over to fill time, there was no expense... literally no expense.So if you long for an hour and a half of looking at Nicole's pretty mole without the interference of plot line or genuine discovery; Or if you love to be challenged to sit through the worst movies ever produced, this should be on your hot list for the holidays. On thing I have to admit, the movie did inspire me. Within minutes of clicking in to the movie in progress, I realized it was a bad movie. It was however so bad I was compelled to continue watching, hoping for a redeeming moment, or watching for evidence of intelligent life, like the old alkaseltzer commercial... I couldn't believe I watched the whole thing. And then I had to find some mountain top from which to announce the advent of the worst Christmas movie ever... Which this is not. This is just the worst Christmas movie I've seen in years. I would however consider it a candidate weapon in psychological warfare. I'm sure they could have removed Quaddafi from office twice as quickly if they had just pumped this movie in to all the TV sets in his mansions... Of course he would have still ended up dead. Only it would have been at his own hands.Final bit of advice, this movie should only be shown to children who are exceptionally smart. Being exceptionally smart can cause alienation and social anxiety among their peers, and this movie will certainly serve to enhance superficial thinking, and it may effectively reduce your child's IQ. Of course, repeat viewing may cause significant cognitive damage. But hey, Nicole De Boer!
I didn't get a chance to watch the whole movie but from what I saw was good. What I wanted to say is where I live, there is a lake in our town called Allouette Lake that everyone knows about and has been too. When i was on my way down to the boat launch at the beginning of the summer this year, we were stopped due to a movie being filmed. When we asked the traffic control officer what was going on they told us they are shooting a Christmas movie and there is a reindeer up in the bushes. So, at the point in the movie when they are in the car driving down the road and eventually stop because the kid see's something in the bush, that is the Allouette Lake boat launch. About a 2 minute walk from where they stop on either side are just a bunch of people from my town waiting to either launch their boat or pick one up!
