Christmas vs. The Walters

First of all, why was this even made. The script was bad, the direction was non existent and the actors really didn't want to be there. AVOID!

Also look at the user profiles for all the high rated reviews for this, all made about 3 weeks ago with one single review, this movie.

I gave this a 9 out of 10 and think these ratings are off. My wife and I went to see if this past weekend. First I will say she dragged me to go - I thought it would be lame. The beginning was a little slow but then everytime I looked over she was smiling and chuckling. The more I saw she was really enjoying it, I guess I let me guard down and I found myself getting sucked into the story and this family. The mom, I think Shawnee from Becker was really convincing, felt like it was my own wife at the helm and I found myself on the journey with this family. I am a little embarrased to say this film choked me up. Its not a straight out comedy but it has funny parts and real emotion to it. It plays great in the theater but also a fun one to cuddle up infront of the fire on demand.

I just watched this film and was thoroughly impressed. I went into it expecting a lifetime movie of the week. Instead, I found a character driven story about a woman juggling motherhood while wrestling her own insecurities. The movie had plenty of heart and left you with a feeling that only a Christmas movie can. The acting was strong, too, especially the girl who played the daughter.

Plus, all the accounts from which 9/10 or 10/10 reviews came from are all made exactly 7 months ago (for this movie specifically, I'm assuming) and that is their only review ever. Classic bots that are payed to boost up a movie so more people would watch it.

Don't even bother with this one, guys. Just... don't. You can tell all throughout the movie that actors did it only because of the money, not because they believe in project. They don't even believe in their characters even WHILE playing them!

There were some small efforts, so I'm giving it 3/10.

The movie just dragged on! It's not funny or entertaining, even the "drama and comedy skits" are boring as heck. Seriously boring, the drama was incredibly mundane, it's like watching a kid trying to throw a fit without actually crying. Everything just seemed forced and unnatural. The actors didn't even seem to want to be there. They litterally seemed like "is the scene done? Cool, I got a thing to get to"

Honestly it's not worth the time to watch. It litterally felt like a 3 or 4 hour movie, it just seemed to keep going and there's nothkng to keep your attention. Sorry if that's mean, it's just the truth.
