A Smoky Mountain Christmas

This is one of my favorite movies from growing up. I always thought that this movie had a lot of the real Dolly in it, since she plays a famous country singer who wants to get out of the limelight and get back to her country roots to have some peace to herself. I loved her interaction with the kids and I used to watch this with my mom. There is also so great music in it and a lot of humor. This movie also has so really beautiful scenery and I believe it was shot on location. There is a bit of weirdness with the villain and her relationship with Dolly in the movie, but otherwise it is great. The chemistry between the male lead and Dolly is good also. This needs to be on DVD!

Saw this movie several years ago. Have been trying to find a copy of it ever since. It is the best family Christmas video we have seen in years. Has the true meaning of Christmas in it!! I hope many more people request this excellent movie.

I think that movie shows the real meaning of Christmas. I think the other movies like Home Alone and the second ones show a very bad maening for kids and how Christmas should be spent. I like the fact that they use the kids to portray the warmth and the feeling of Christmas.

This is absolutely my favorite Christmas movie. The film can be hard to find but for the past few years CMT has thankfully played it several times each December. It has everything a movie should have: preposterous wigs, shotguns galore, a gang of multi-cultural orphans, a mountain man, an evil witch, and a whole lotta Dolly Parton with a guitar. Plus its directed by the Fonz! Think snow white meets coal miners daughter and throw in some good old fashioned Christmas spirit. Cinematic gold! The movie is heavily sprinkled with clichés, but in a fun and stylish way. If you're looking for character development or high drama, look elsewhere. If, on the other hand, you're looking for John Ritter to say with a heavy drawl "thats real Christmasy of you" look no further.

I had just turned 4 when this movie was first released and I remember watching it at least 50 times since, but sure it has been more! I absolutely loved this warm Christmas story and how it brought them all together like a real family! Was so great! I am very grateful to have had the privilege of sharing such a movie in my lifetime and plan to share this movie with my own son time and again! You just don't see movies like that made anymore. Such a shame! It shows how love and trust in any family, blood or not, takes some time and patience. But is well worth it all in the end! Also it's just all around a great family movie for any age. As I had said before, I loved it when I was a kid and am planning to share it with my own kids as time goes on. I recommend to anyone looking for something that the whole family can enjoy this holiday to watch A Smoky Mountian Christmas! It's sure to warm your heart and put a smile on your face! So when you're looking for the right movie this Christmas season, don't forget to run out and pick up your copy! Enjoy and happy holidays!
