The Borrowed Christmas

A man steps into a shop to rent himself a Christmas celebration. Since he pays well, we're instantly involved and excited to see if the shop owner will pull this off.

The limited location concept works fine, but it doesn't go unnoticed that the supporting cast is flared with first-timer mannerism. The two main characters played by Sherry Morris and Jeff Rose are very solid, I just wish their chemistry would be tested full out.

During the movie's first half, the story refuses to jingle, due to flawed storytelling. However, once the ornaments are up and daddy's home, we're in for a fulfilling and memorable Christmas sleep-over.

I loved the premise of this movie, and I can stay with pretty much any movie even if the actors are a bit off, but I found this uncomfortable to watch. I see many reviewers compare it to a high school play and that is what it seemed like. The acting was very disjointed, cues looked to be missed and it seemed that they were a bit uncomfortable as well.

I am in a sappy mood these days. I have been watching the lowest of the low budget films. Stumbling upon this film I decided to go ahead and watch because I like the name. Even though the actors seem to be young in the movie business I found them refreshing sounding like normal people in any normal given day.

Story goes how middle-aged man who has no family decides to go to a rental store and rent a Christmas, the works. He seems Enchanted by the store owner and she with him. So she agrees to supply him all the necessary items to make a Norman Rockwell type Christmas for him.

She can't rent the actors for the time needed so she and her employee along with some orphaned children decide to play the parts of the man's family. Voila! A Borrowed Christmas.

Even though this film seems a little sappy I really hope people enjoy it. I've actually watched it twice because I enjoyed it so much the first time

This movie is more like a live play. The premise is a good one. Not the best, but still entertaining.

I'm not sure what the budget was this movie movie but I think most school drama groups could have done a better job. It's a sweet story but the acting is the worst I've ever seen, not helped by the very poor sound quality. It was painful to watch.
