All American Christmas Carol

A white-trash mom is visited by three ghosts intent on showing her a path to a brighter future.

This film was watched as part of Eric Roberts Appreciation Day (April 18), and Roberts plays the Ghost of Christmas Present. As far as all the many different versions of this story are concerned, this is not the best one. Not even close. In fact, it is a wonder why they keep making such films at all with the story being done to death.

Despite this, the cast is pretty decent. These may not be A-listers, but Roberts is a known face ,and even Taryn Manning probably has her following. Maybe this is worth watching once around Christmas time, but I doubt anyone is going to make it a Christmas tradition like they would with "Scrooged" or "Muppet Christmas Carol".

Pass. Just say no. Did they really make this on purpose? Did they not realize how stupid it is while they were making it? The kids are the only redeeming characters in the whole movie...and uncle Bob.

Who thought that it was a good idea to make this trash? I will admit that I love the classic movie adaptations. I don't like the cartoons, the musicals, etc. BUT I would rather watch them on a continuous loop than watch this rubbish! All involved should be thoroughly ashamed for their participation! If I could give it minus stars I would!

Mom had no redeeming qualities whatsoever. And you never did find out why she gave up on life in the first place. She was lazy and thoughtless and selfish and disrespectful. The three spirits really didn't follow the normal pattern that you would have expected. I got kind of lost on the three spirits. I thought the acting was okay even though it was a low-budget flick. Like I said earlier it could have been a good movie had the script been better. What was up with her hair? It look like she was wearing an old wig that she found at Goodwill that needed to be brushed out . Her hair and makeup was awful through the whole movie. It's okay movie for some cheap entertainment

If you're searching Netflix for something to watch on a drunken night.....look no further. This movie provides laughs and feel good vibes. Want to feel good as a single mom? Definitely watch this movie. The main character in this film made me feel like super mom. I sat through the whole thing and never once felt like I wasted my time. I only had two glasses of wine. My son cringed a bit but afterwards he was ok and told me I was a good mom.
