By God's Grace

The best way I can describe this movie is that everything is overly dramatic and sensationalized. Too many things lead to worst case scenario and everything seems forced. I'm not sure how much was writing vs directing vs acting.

There were some moments just after Grace shows up when the writing and production improved, but then it went back to the overly sensational.

This is a faith based take on the Christmas Carol and there is a heavy faith based message.

This film is a decent Christmas story with one major message that I found thought provoking - what we do, the choices we make impacts the lives of others, either for good or for bad, whether we think so or not. What if we had the opportunity to peer into the future and see how our choices not only affect our own life, but others as well?

This film was very well acted, but I had one issue - the way the George bailey became hard, arrogant, unkind, cynical comes across as forced. It is unlikely that the tragedy he experiences could cause a complete 180 turn from the values and ways that he was raised, so it feels as though there is some missing part of the story to explain his decent into becoming a Scrooge. This is a good family film, but keep it for the 10 year old and up.

I feel like this is a great movie with a very important message I'm surprised this doesn't have a higher rating it's a must see. And the ending is my favorite part this is just a really good movie sometimes people should just give things a chance without going off of a rating my family did and I most definitely do not regret it will definitely be watching this again next Christmas this movie has a great story line and the ending couldn't have been any better that's a fact !!! And I usually don't write reviews but I definitely had to for this one because it was a great movie I will say there were some sad parts but again the ending makes up for it.
