The Christmas Dance

I caught this film one evening as I'm a sucker for Christmas films but this was something else. The acting was so-so but the story between the two lovers was ridiculous, he is so self righteous regarding her and her feelings, letting kids down when your brother could die and you have a job that you don't want to get fired from but he makes it all about God and being there - seriously this guy is definitely single for a reason it's his way or no way.

I liked the parents they were what Christmas films should be about and their scenes were good .

Avoid unless there is literally nothing else to watch.

Imagine a Christian Christmas movie! But the acting is actually better than average for Hallmark. So many Hallmark movies are the tired secular romance with Christmas only as the backdrop. This movie has more a Gospel message. There's a lot of "Christmas " in this movie missing from other offerings as of late. It was refreshing!

For some reason there is no mention of this that I can see but an accurate review of this movie should mention its really a "Christian Movie" as in even the dialog is peppered with religious references after the first 10 minutes. Characters are referred to "brother" this and "sister" by the minister father who plays a leading role.

The lead actress is pretty good and the supporting cast isn't too bad. For me it got so bogged down in the religious aspects that I couldn't finish it. In the end there is no real plot except to "witness" no us non-believers,

The high rating was clearly bid up by believers. Compared to other "Hallmark type" movies it is objectively not very good.

Family is very important aspect of any holiday gathering. This movie draws you in to think about your own interactions with family and friends. Loved it. From beginning to end, you watch the fun and love shown by the characters. While Christmas is the center of the movie, its family that, to me, is portrayed as most important part of the movie. It makes you want to call those that are close to you, whether they are near or far. It also made me realize that time and distance does not take away from you having a close family or friendship. Somethings pick up right where you left them so you never have to start from the begining.

Very well done. One of the best Christmas movies in a while. Yes it has religious tones and yea Christmas is about Jesus people need to get over it and know when they buy celebrate Christmas they are celebrating the birth of Christ. Send me the hate mail!!!
