Saint Street

I'm not sure why so many people rated this so highly, I couldn't even get through the first 25 minutes. The acting is AWFUL. I couldn't bear to watch them struggle through the lines & the delivery. The best actors were the two kids. Maybe the cast does better work in their other films, but the stiff, wooden acting in this one combined with the blank facial expressions made me turn it off.

I had no idea what to expect when looking for a decent show to watch with my wife. It seemed like it could be similar to a Hallmark but more independent. Acting was rough at 1st but they clearly had a small budget and I was taken in by the story once I stuck it out for the 1st 15 minutes or so. In the end I actually cried and was glad I watched it. I rated it high because I appreciate the message and the effort put into making wonderful family films. In the end, this film worked out with a surprising and touching ending that stuck with me and motivated me to make a comment. Thank you for making this film.

PLEASE BEWARE OF SOME REVIEWERS THAT ONLY HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. I HAVE OVER 400 REVIEWS OF "CHRISTMAS RELATED FILMS & SPECIALS" WHEN ITS A POSITIVE THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I REVIEW MOVIES & SPECIALS AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN! I HAVE DISCOVERED MANY GEMS IN MY QUEST TO SEE AS MANY " C H R I S T M A S " MOVIES AS I CAN.

I should not like this. This film takes plot points from not on "A Christmas Carol" bit also has a little "It's a Wonderful Life" thrown for even more Christmas sweetness!

This story is about upper middle class family in America. The story follows Percy who is a good man, but has found himself caught up in the riches of the world and is neglecting his family. Christmas Eve has arrived and Percy is still hard at work late into the night, once again breaking his promises to his wife and kids. Percy is about to experience some consequences for his actions without redemption.

As predictable as this film is is still hold your interest. This will not bore you. It runs about 75 Minutes. The pace is fast and the message it sends we have all "heard Before" however its so well meaning you can't but to like the film.

So bad I'm embarrassed we kept at it for 25 minutes.
