Coins for Christmas

The first part of the story was pretty good. The idea of it was nice as well. However, the ending was disappointing, as they didn't really conclude things.

Realistic story, I like the storyline in all three movies but I won't lie the dialogue sucks it sounds so preachy. I wish people would use more Conversations instead of preaching messages.

Coins for Christmas (2018) is a movie I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline for this picture is around a single mother whose employer is going out of business causing her to lose her job just before Christmas. She wants to make sure her current situation doesn't impact Christmas for her son and daughter. Her baby daddy can't help her out, and even if he could, she wouldn't want it. While working for Uber she meets a former professional athlete down on his luck too and is looking for a fresh start but is often held back by his bad attitude. They might be exactly what each other need to save each other's Christmas.

This movie is directed by Jamal Hill (A Holiday Chance) and stars Essence Atkins (How High), Tyla Harris (For Life), Stephen Bishop (Moneyball) and Karon Riley (Ambitions).

The movie has a great opening with the Santa pictures. The dialogue and comedic content was hilarious in that sequence. The storyline and characters are interesting and it was fun watching the film unfold. The dynamics between characters was very good. There was a holiday party scene towards the end that was awkward and felt unnatural; but other than that one poorly written scene, the movie is a worthwhile, feel good holiday picture.

Overall this is a fairly average holiday movie that is worth watching once. I would score this a 5.5-6/10.

The storyline was so real. For example the dialogue between the divorced couple was not exaggerated with anger.

The children were humble and made sacrifices.

I don't want give the entire story away. But yeah, I enjoyed it!

The movie was very good and worth watching, but I agree that it ended without bringing everything together to conclusion. The viewer is left with not knowing what happens to all the characters involved.
