The Town Christmas Forgot

This was a wonderful movie. To those who ripped it, what were you thinking? I wanted to give it a 10, but I've given out too many this season. The story was so enjoyable, the cast was great and it looked as if the cast had a great time doing this movie. All I can say is to watch this and enjoy it for what it is and the message it sends.

I am an incurable "anything Christmas" nut and look forward every year to my old favourite movies and hopefully some new ones. I watched this show last night and yes, I too noticed that the sun was shining during the storm at the beginning of the movie. I didn't recognize any of the actors' names and settled in to watch. Within minutes I realized this town named Nowhere was actually partially filmed 15 minutes from my home in a little town called Millbrook. This made the movie even more special as only a week ago I was sitting in a hole-in-the-wall coffee shop in Millbrook with the name "Nowhere Lodge" painted on its transom. We had asked the proprietor what the origin of the name was and he told us it was put there when a movie was filmed there not long ago. But I digress. Granted the movie is hokey. But there was no swearing that I could hear and no nudity. The kids' acting left a bit to be desired but they will improve with practice I'm sure. All in all, it was a feel good, family suited Christmas movie whose message seemed to be that it doesn't matter how much money you've got, decency, regards for your fellow man and the true meaning of Christmas are all that matters. If it's on next year I will watch it again. (For what it's worth, I never could stand "It's a Wonderful Life", so there you go - to each her own)

I think this movie was no worse than any other made for TV Christmas movie. It was predictable, yes, but still a cute movie nonetheless. It was definitely a great movie for kids to watch without fear of inappropriate scenes or language. The acting was fine, I certainly wouldn't call it horrid...let's try remember that this was not billed as a blockbuster, it wasn't "profound" but I loved it anyway...and Lauren Holly looked beautiful as always. I guess it's easy to be a critic when you aren't the one in the movie. It entertained and was definitely a 'feel good' story. There were several funny lines. It was a good little Canadian made film. Great job Stephanie!

Well if "micahcircuitry" did not like this one he will definitely not like "THE NIGHT BEFORE THE NIGHT BEFORE Christmas"..

It is a shame.

"jlf-7" and I both like this one.

If you drive around Colorado between US 50 and I-70 you will definitely find a few places like this one…

This is a good study of people. Check out the men sitting at the lunch counter.

I loved the Toy Store owner. He may be grumpy but he has a positive outlook that the Toy Store will reopen.

If you're looking for an Oscar-winning blockbuster then you'll be sorely disappointed but if you're looking for a feel-good, family movie that reminds all us gadget-orientated, money-obsessed individuals that the truly important things in life are the people we live with and that true happiness comes from giving (of yourself) not taking, then you'll like this cheesy movie. The acting isn't great, but it's good enough; the script is predictable and not clever but it works. It doesn't promise to be anything other than what you'd expect from a made-for-t.v. movie- and that's its attraction. If you watched this then posted a negative review, then you have no soul and have more in common with The Grinch than Santa Claus.
