A Smoky Mountain Christmas

definitely a "10". i have tried every year to find this movie to buy for myself. it shows christmas with love and compassion, minus all the commercialism/materialistic views. we need more of this and less of the other. hope to see it released for sale some day.

I think that movie shows the real meaning of Christmas. I think the other movies like Home Alone and the second ones show a very bad maening for kids and how Christmas should be spent. I like the fact that they use the kids to portray the warmth and the feeling of Christmas.

This is absolutely my favorite Christmas movie. The film can be hard to find but for the past few years CMT has thankfully played it several times each December. It has everything a movie should have: preposterous wigs, shotguns galore, a gang of multi-cultural orphans, a mountain man, an evil witch, and a whole lotta Dolly Parton with a guitar. Plus its directed by the Fonz! Think snow white meets coal miners daughter and throw in some good old fashioned Christmas spirit. Cinematic gold! The movie is heavily sprinkled with clichés, but in a fun and stylish way. If you're looking for character development or high drama, look elsewhere. If, on the other hand, you're looking for John Ritter to say with a heavy drawl "thats real Christmasy of you" look no further.

This is one of my favorite movies from growing up. I always thought that this movie had a lot of the real Dolly in it, since she plays a famous country singer who wants to get out of the limelight and get back to her country roots to have some peace to herself. I loved her interaction with the kids and I used to watch this with my mom. There is also so great music in it and a lot of humor. This movie also has so really beautiful scenery and I believe it was shot on location. There is a bit of weirdness with the villain and her relationship with Dolly in the movie, but otherwise it is great. The chemistry between the male lead and Dolly is good also. This needs to be on DVD!
