Christmas Jars

The first word defining this film can be different. It is, obvious, a Halmark product. But the fragile good intention becomes more stronger in its case. Not only a film about Christmas and generosity, about a young reporter making a discovery and using it , not only romance but a beautiful eulogy of family, from the first step and idea making all in action to the , maybe too sentimental and almost fake end. But a good film and thisis just the basic trait defining it.

I am a sucker for a great wholesome movie with a fantastic ending. Loved it.

What a lovely story - simply told, funny , loving with great (nice) people. Very inspiring story..

This is a good overall movie that is both uplifting and well acted.It is rare find for me. This movie portrays the core goodness of people without oversimplification or being "syrupy sweet." Even for those who have read the book, the movie delivers. Take your family. You will be happy you went.

This is in fact - one of thee greatest Christmas movies of all time. I can't do it justice, you will have to judge for yourself. But here is what I think. Jeni Ross as "Hope" is a perfect choice for the lead role. With her performance she pulls everything together. Jennifer Gibsons' as Marianne poignant performance seals the deal. Tara Yelland as Hanna shows us the embodiment of "a woman." From the smallest details, to all the acting, direction and everything else that makes a movie - Everyone and Everything that had a part in this movie makes this a Legendary Christmas movie! Some say that because it touches upon this or that - makes it not a good Christmas movie. Yes - it does touch upon abuse and abandonment but more importantly it shows how the Spirit of Christmas... How love, giving and helping can help us all over come such devastating issues. It shows us what the Spirit of Christmas is and how the Spirit of Christmas helps us all.
