Christmas Jars

Well done, well cast and well acted, without being unrealistically Hallmark corny. I would have done a few minor tweaks (I understand why Hope was eager to be accepted, they're a wonderful family; but why would they be so quick to invite in a total stranger?). I would have changed the first jar interviewee (the teacher), and done something about the annoyingly cliche best friend. But I gave it an 8, which tells you how much I liked it, and highly recommend it. Be sure to have the tissues ready.

Also, I had no idea that Columbus looked so much like Canada. I'm going out right now and find every shooting location. ;-)

I really enjoyed this movie. Well acted, with characters who were believable and sincere. The story was based on a best selling book, and had a more interesting plot than most recent Christmas movies. While the ending was predictable, it was so heartfelt and sweet, I had tears in my eyes.

Great movie. Believable story, great acting, very moving, a well done movie.

I watch a lot of these Romcoms / Christmas movies, (in the UK this one was renamed as Mystery Christmas Miracles) this one was different from the usual rubber stamped format. Within a minute or two you can see that fact.

This movie DOES have snow, but it DOESN'T have the obligatory ticklist of most of the other Christmas movies like: snowman building, snowball fight, saving a charity event, a money is no object successful business owner, etc etc. Such a refreshing change. Ok so there is ice scating, I guess the the original story in the book by Jason Wright needed something eh.

Talking of the book and the story, which I will read next Christmas I think, I only deducted one star because for just a moment near the end it all started to go cheesy and unbelievable, but later I realised that the story had to, so I kinda forgave it - maybe that's the Christmas spirit thang eh.

I have to admit, this film had me and my girl Weeping bucket loads of tears. I'd watch it again in a heart beat.

Well,...although the movie is pretty predictable it delivered very well.the actors were great, good chemistry,realistic scenes and heartfelt moments.

This is a bit of a Hallmark type feel good movie, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I enjoyed the lack of sex and violence that is in so many of the movies today. This was just a good heart warming movie.
