Christmas Land

I love the 3 main characters in this movie; Jules the grand daughter heir to Christmas land (Nikki Deloach), Tucker (Luke Macfarlane) the good guy, and Mitchell the bad for you boyfriend. Nikki Deloach was in "A Dream of Christmas" this year- which was a much better movie (I hope she continues to do Christmas movies). I really enjoyed the first 30 minutes, liked the second 30 minutes but the final part of the movie really lagged. Richard Karn (Home Improvements Al) character just didn't work. I noticed they put well known actresses like Cynthia Gibbs and Maureen McCormick in such really small parts. I loved that they put Chonda Pierce in the movie and that worked well. Most of the reviews hated the ending of the story and I agree. I would recommend watching it though.

The ending of Christmasland is extremely offensive to women and make women out to be stupid and unaware of their legal rights. The female lead is supposed to be a savvy person living and surviving in a big city not some backwoods hillbilly. The ending of this movie leaves her in debt by $1.3 million dollars on property she owned free and clear one week before. Idiotic! If I were in her shoes, I would have brought a friend with me to confront that attorney boyfriend about his collusion with that real estate developer so I would have had a witness. Then I would have hired a great real estate attorney and sued them both then reported the ex-boyfriend/attorney to the State Bar. I love the Hallmark Christmas movies but this one was pathetic!

It is a Xmas movie, right? How the heck do they have an immoral, greedy real estate developer come out a huge winner? On top of that they put him (Mason) in a major scene with townspeople and it is all smiles. When they should have been running him out of town tarred and feathered.

How Mason became a 'winner' is nonsensical. It calls for signing a million dollar+ contract with a 'stranger' and without reading it.

Two weeks to renovate a run down Christmas Land and all we see is a single purchase of a few cans of paint. Voila, it is magically as great looking as in years gone by.

Did you know that a coffee can,not even a large one, cannot hold hundreds of thousands of dollars? Finally, our 'hero' attorney can not come up with a single creative approach to help nail greedy, immoral Mason.

My son told me to watch this one as part of my 100 Christmas movies before Christmas day challenge.

I'm glad he did as I really enjoyed it. I love how Christmassy it is. I would love to live there haha.

It was a nice movie and I will watch it again.

This is not quite up to middling Hallmark Xmas movie standards (low enough anyway) but I wasn't as outraged at the ending as many others (perhaps because I read the spoilers first?) Enjoyable for 70 minutes or so and nonsensical for the rest, but I'm not going to complain.
