Summertime Christmas

This was a cute film that your kids will enjoy. It's family friendly and a good watch.

I'm pretty forgiving of movies, and enjoy a lot of things others don't. This started as an amateurish but cute story about wayward elves. It then took a hard turn into a preachy, ultra-conservative anti-New World Order...mess. Other reviews about the direction, writing, acting and editing range from spot-on to generous. I truly wish the best for everyone involved in this film, but in another industry. The little girl was by far the best actor.

I enjoy movies with a low budget, or with inexperienced cast and crew. They can be very sweet, fun, or even intentionally or unintentionally hilarious. This was just uncomfortable.

I created an IMDB account solely to rate and review this film.

Cute story but the acting and directing choices are horrible. The little girl was the best actor of the bunch. Makes it seem like a cute Santa and elves story but turns into a fairly religious story. But the acting and directing was tough to watch.

I didn't necessarily have high hopes for this movie, but I thought Savannah Howard was reminiscent of a young Scarlett Johansson. She appeared to me to be the sun that all the other actors orbited around. She truly shined. Rumor has it she screen tested for the Scarlet Witch role which, as we know, eventually went to Elizabeth Olsen. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Benedict Cumberbatch, Chris Evans and Gwyneth Paltrow are among her followers. They lobbied for her to secure a place for her in the MC universe, but so far that effort has yet to bear fruit. I have a feeling about her though. I see big things in her future.

If you are looking for a great Christmas movie or family movie then keep looking. This film is terrible. I can not believe that anybody would like this! Its not very entertaining. I don't fault the actors they are fine. The director is the problem here. It lacks a clear point of view. There is also too many stories going on and most of them suck.

In this film Santa sees the world going to hell! Most of the children are on the "Naughty List". To me that was a stupid idea. The reality is that Santa would have an easier load and would be home much faster.

The film has "A Christmas PAGEANT" which is fine but that scene "Goes on & on".

I dare you to watch this!
