A New Lease on Christmas

The premise of this movie has potential, which is why I decided to watch it. But this is the worst thing I've watched on TV. HONEST question? Was this a high school project that got greenlit? The acting and writing is HORRENDOUS!!!! I'm convinced the people who are singing this movie's praises are relatives and friends of the so-called actors. So-called actors because there is no way these people are making a decent living doing what they're doing. I sincerely hope they have day jobs that sustain their livelihoods because acting "ain't" it for them. Absolutely horrible movie. HORRIBLE!!!!! But, if you need a good laugh or background white noise, this is the movie for you.

A New Lease on Christmas is another really unique take on an age-old format.

The actor who played Santa provided a brand-new take on the cinematic character. He grows on you throughout the movie.

There are very real relationships in the film, by realistic actors.

Everything was nicely wrapped up by director Scott, who has yet to disappoint to anyone who loves movies.

A new holiday staple!

I saw this mess on ION TV yesterday while feeding my invalid mother her Christmas lunch. I don't believe how many people are singing the praises of this clumsy, awkward, deeply-cheesy-and-not-in-a-good-way awfulness.

I've watched a lot of Christmas movies over the years, and this is one of the worst I've seen.

The storyline was good, but the audio was terrible. Who ever the sound engineer was should never be used on another film until they learn that music is supposed to be included in the background and not drown out what the actors are saying. I would have thought that before releasing it for public viewing, someone would have watched it and noticed the audio problem. Not enjoyable when you watch a movie and need to have your remote control in your hand to constantly lower and increase the volume throughout the entire movie. I am sure that other viewers must have noticed that this was a problem. Other than the audio fiasco, the film was good.

I wasn't sure what to expect, I'm very much not into Hallmark romance nonsense so when my friend pulled this up to watch I rolled my eyes.

Glad I gave it a chance!

I was genuinely entertained. Well made, nicely written and I enjoyed it.

Please make more of these to replace the silly garbage on most channels this time of year.
