Christmas Town

I love this movie. An overworked Mom trying to raise her son alone finds the Christas spirit and a new life after seeing the results of the same life change on her previously workaholic father. What could be better? A little escape from reality :) The only thing that bugs me is the son in this picture. He doesn't mind his Mom! I think the creators of this movie felt it was cute for him to ignore his Mom and create havoc but I think it is a bad example. Kids get lost and hurt this way. Other than that, it is a very cute movie :)

I didn't get a chance to watch the whole movie but from what I saw was good. What I wanted to say is where I live, there is a lake in our town called Allouette Lake that everyone knows about and has been too. When i was on my way down to the boat launch at the beginning of the summer this year, we were stopped due to a movie being filmed. When we asked the traffic control officer what was going on they told us they are shooting a Christmas movie and there is a reindeer up in the bushes. So, at the point in the movie when they are in the car driving down the road and eventually stop because the kid see's something in the bush, that is the Allouette Lake boat launch. About a 2 minute walk from where they stop on either side are just a bunch of people from my town waiting to either launch their boat or pick one up!

Christmas Town is a movie about a Christmas town. The town is all about Christmas. There are people who love Christmas in this town. But what the casual viewer doesn't realize is that the entire town looks a giant parking lot outside of a walmart with buildings that were built with garbage. The people who live in Christmas town must have all kinds of diseases and infections because of the structure of the entire town being made of garbage. All in all, the woman in Christmas town discovered the meaning of Christmas, found love with a strange guy, and repaired her relationship with her father after defeating him in hand-to-hand combat. I missed some of the movie because I was busy throwing up. Ho ho ho!

Poor boy. Mom has to drive a &60,000 Mercedes-Benz SUV. He lives in a $1 million home. But Mom is too busy to get him a haircut and, as a result, he has a serious discipline problem. Dad is a COOK (gasp, how low can you go?). Do you know how that makes the millions of people who cook for a living feel? This is the kind of crap Hollywood has churned out to insult and humiliate "middle America". No wonder that hate us in Kansas.

The leads who are supposed to fall for each other have NO chemistry at all. The lead actor looks craggy and sloppy like he was dragged backwards through a knothole and had the most unlikeable pushy "get onboard the Christmas Town cult" schtick I wanted to smack him. I'd be concerned about the Hot Cocoa they keep pushing. Cranky lead actress never gets more charming and I cannot understand why anyone would fall for her romantically. Unless it's the cocoa psychedelic effect. This is supposed to be such a Christmassy town and it looks like it is mid-July. I understand that Christmas happens in California but this had no Christmas feeling at all. The boy was an insufferable brat who was far too old to be still believing in Santa. But the terrible parenting probably caused this child to overcompensate. Just an overall unfun Christmas movie. What is what all these good reviews???
