Christmas on Chestnut Street

The storyline was fine for a Christmas movie but I didn't like how Dianne spoke about Lou's dad. If you know someone with Alzheimer's you probably won't like it either. Dianne doesn't even apologize for her comments!!! Ugh no thanks!

I honestly really loved this movie, and I am disappointed to see so many awful reviews! Although there are parts that display poor camera work and acting, as a whole, I thought the story was very well done and the message was quite touching! This movie has a bit of a Hallmark feel to it, but overall it was a great family film! There are bits of comedy and romance, and the ending made a great point about the true reason for the season, the birth of Jesus! I will definitely be watching this movie for many Christmases to come! I'm so thankful I stumbled across this one! You should definitely give it a chance, and I hope it blesses your heart just as it blessed mine!

Please be aware if you have small kids that this middling background noise worthy TV movie asserts the ridiculous notion that there is absolutely no such thing as Santa Claus. Besides that, it's fairly typical for its genre.

OK, we don't have an Oscar-winner here, we don't even have a strikingly original plot, but what we do have is a funny and heartily enjoyable Christmas film. It's visually pleasing with the usual Chicago-at-Christmas pretty street scenes and the acting is bang on. If you've ever watched a Christmas movie before, or for that matter any rom-com then you're going to see the plot turns coming a mile off - but does that matter? Not one jot! You're not going to get stark warnings about future catastrophes, or high-octane action scenes either, but if you want that, you're unlikely to be looking in this direction! What "Christmas on Chestnut Street" does provide, and in buckets too, is a charming story, genuinely likable characters you actually care about, and a gently sentimental message about the true meaning of the holiday season. And what more do you want from your Christmas movie than that?

I loved the movie and want to know where it can be purchased. I recommend it to everyone. It was a great family movie.What Christmas spirit. Kids should be as respectful and good to their parents as Lou was. A lot of real life to the story A good romance. Good Christmas decor. Good choice in actors. Great story. Good feeling about the story I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A SEQUEL TO THIS MOVIE A very cutre story with a lot of real life happenings Some funny parts and sad parts. I liked the son a lot,He was right for the part I thought the parents were very true to life,great actors I would have liked to se the movie play several times nover.
