Saint Nick of Bethlehem

I love movies that are inspired by true stories. This is a true story inspired by Allen Smith, a real life Santa Claus in central Pennsylvania who after losing his son falls into a dark place. One thing that brings him out of it is doing good for others. He becomes the Santa Claus of his town and Saint Nick Of Bethlehem is about his story. A Christmas movie filmed in the Christmas city, Bethlehem PA, what can be better than that? This movie highlights familiar locations such as Kiffle Kitchen, St. Luke's Hospital, Hotel Bethlehem, the #1 historic hotel in the country to name a few. The cast works so well together bringing out great emotion. I love Movies where you both laugh and cry and leave the theater with a positive message. That is just what Saint Nick delivers! A wholesome, family friendly movie that will surely get you in the Holiday spirit, and we could all use that right about now.

Excellent film with a heartwarming story line that was beautifully portrayed! The cast showed real emotion and passion in the film. Dan Roebuck's work in this film was extraordinary. His skill in directing and acting is evident. This movie will definitely make you experience the heart of Christmas. My husband and I enjoyed it tremendously. We recommend it to all and it is especially relevant if you live in the Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania. There ate references to many local establishments and scenes from local landmarks. Take the family to see it...you will love the film and walk away filled with Christmas spirit!

I got to go to the premiere at the Roxy Theater in Northampton PA to see the movie Saint Nick of Bethlehem. It's rare nowadays to get a clean, family-friendly film to head into theaters and this was such a great family film. This movie is based on a true story and was very cool that they filmed right in Bethlehem! This film will definitely tug on your heart strings. The movie not only does that but also brings quite a bit of humor as well. Danny Roebuck did such a great job playing the main character Nick and he also co directed the film as well. I can't wait for this film to come to physical media!

I love movies based on true stories, and Saint Nick of Bethlehem is one that captivates and warms your heart. Inspired by Allen Smith, a real-life Santa Claus in central Pennsylvania, the film follows his journey from grief after losing his son to finding purpose by helping others. Set in Bethlehem, PA, the movie showcases local landmarks around Bethlehem and the Lehigh Valley which makes the movie all more special. The cast's chemistry brings a heartfelt emotion, delivering a story that makes you laugh, cry, and leave with love in your heart...and enough Christmas Spirit to light up the town. I will definitely be adding this movie to my yearly Christmas Movie watch list!

This movie is proof you don't need a giant budget or incredible special effects to move an audience emotionally. I'm a cinephile - period. While this movie checks all the boxes of a holiday classic like A Christmas Story or Elf, it also does something unlike most holiday movies, even the excellent ones rarely do - it captures the heart. This is the best writing I've seen since Manchester by the Sea. This movie has the two things which are most important: Good writing (character development) and sublime acting. You want to see a great movie? Go see this one. It'll make you laugh, cry, and clap.
