There are simply no redeeming qualities to be found in this movie. It's really bad, I'm sorry. The intent to convey a Christian Christmas message overshadows any efforts on the producers' side to construct a coherent and entertaining story. Some of the acting is pretty decent, but that's all.
Must say I find it really interesting how nearly all positive reviews read like they were written by the same person. Additionally, most of them are posted by accounts that have only reviewed this specific movie and appear to have been made at some point between October to November 2023. I suspect there's something fishy going on here...

If I could give this movie zero stars I would. The acting is awful and feels fake, just all around a bad movie with terrible acting and no substance. I felt lost trying to even really understand what the movie was about. I would also like to add that one of the directors is disgusting and started dating a 14 year old when he was 23 years old. This movie didn't even have any Christmas qualities to it or any subliminal messages about family or what Christmas is really about. Its really annoying how bad the acting is in this movie. There are times where the acting is delayed and id rather claw my eyes out than watch that garbage again.

I'm not sure what went wrong with this film but it is genuinely one of the worst films I have ever seen. Bad acting, bad production, just a thoroughly awful film. Created a review account just to say how bad it was and to warn people against watching it! The plot is about an aspiring politician getting a new job and must travel to the countryside for her new secretary of agriculture role. But even from the first minute the plot and acting are unbelievably poor. The one bright spot was the mayor of the small town who gave a good performance. In order to write a review it must be a certain length now so having to spend more time writing this than you should dedicate to watching the film. Avoid at all costs.

The fact that the movie starts out pretending that getting the job of Secretary of Agriculture is as simple as applying at Walmart sets a really bad tone. Then assuming that the role of the Secretary of Agriculture's job is to fly around making viral Tik Tok videos is just absurd. Add to it the fact that there is zero chemistry between the leads. So, the female lead is a selfish b*tch with zero regard for the farmers she meets and interviews and then, because she meets a sad girl, she is suddenly a changed woman.
The movie is a rush job trying to capitalize on Christians who will blindly spend money on any Jesusy movie. It is really bad.

This movie single handedly disgraces the Christmas movie name,this film never once let's you connect with the characters, the plot or any other aspect of this film. The writing is absolute bs so is the acting. Not once in this film did I feel any of the the things they were saying they meant. The film is just plain boring from start to finish. This movie is a waste of 2 hours , of all the time put in to film and of the very little effort put in that shines through during the film. I would like to put a special message to Simon Wesley here:
Stop pursuing films you work has no heart or brain. Ty.

This film is genuinely one of the worst produced movies I have ever seen in my life. The acting is absolute BS and the film doesn't even make sense. It is an absolute waste of your precious lifetime, go and watch something with quality and a storyline on Netflix or smth, this film WILL NOT make you happy. This Film also has absolutely no empathy to be built with the characters, it is boring and weirdly orthodox Christian. This is probably the worst film I have seen in a VERY long time. The film has no perception of human emotions, with INCREDIBLY lame attempts at being interesting, and at a love story, the actual love storyline is BS.

I've seen YouTube videos with better production quality than this. The plot is senseless, the "acting" a joke and the camera and sound design are embarrassing. I'd strongly advise against watching this, literally anything else is a better use of your time and money.
God deserves better and to consider this a Christian movie is an insult to Christianity itself and to cinema.
Never before have I been so absolutely disappointed in a movie in so little time, there's literally nothing on it that it's worth consuming.
If I haven't made it clear enough I'd rather pouring lemon juice on my eyes than seeing this again.

Hallmark meets Kirk Cameron. Honestly should be illegal. No one wants to sit through a film like this. Can't believe it cost a dollar to watch. My poor mother had no idea what she was getting us into... Waste of time and money. Didn't even finish. No one wants to be preached to at Christmas. Can we all please move on from Christian nationalism? It's so depressing. Producer is a loser, plan on finding and rating all of his other films. Who was this made for? Who wants to watch this? Did they do any market research or analysis? Absolutely atrocious... Honestly want a refund. Huge judgement to prime for hosting this.

Hallmark producers would watch this and think "That's really bad."
Bad cinematography, bad dialogue, bad screenwriting, bad acting. The only good part of this movie is when the credits roll and the screen goes black.
This is what happens when you let people make movies that have no business making movies. It's generic tripe with overly Christian brow beating themes.
The money spent on this film could have gone to so many good causes. Or at least better causes. I'm sure PETA needs more money ti euthanize 95% of their rescues. But from Wayfair so they can use their sales as fronts for sex trafficking...any of that would have been better than allowing this movie to be made.

I actually did watch this movie when it came out. It was so bad that my husband fell asleep. I don't know what's worse. The lack of creativity or the bland acting. The writing, the directing, the acting, the plot, it's all AWFUL. I'm surprised the script wasn't created by AI or more accurately, someone BASHING THEIR HEAD ON THEIR KEYBOARD. What an insult to the art of film. There are actors, writers, and directors out there who work SO HARD to create genuine art and they go unnoticed. These people put this load of steaming garbage out and think that just because they technically made a movie that they deserve any praise? ABSOLUTELY NOT.

This movie follows the same plot of Hallmark movies, but somehow worse. The romance is introduced out of nowhere and does not make sense. The main character has little to no personal growth and reverts to her old ways as soon as the opportunity is there. The conflicts are extremely coincidental and don't make sense. The characters are written poorly and interact with each other in ways that aren't normal at all. I don't mind the Christian message, you do you, but it was introduced into the movie very boldly later into the movie, instead of intricately embedded in the entire story. The Christian message felt more like an afterthought than the reason for this movie, as the creators claim.

Honestly, this movie is very poor quality. Anyways, the writing in this movie just didn't give me the Christmas feel. I honestly do hope that the actors move onto bigger and better things and get to work with more inspired creators. I really did try to give this movie a chance, but this movie didn't do a good job. The lack of creativity and quality got in the way of any semblance of heartwarming moments this film tried (and failed) to achieve. Even if it had been ultra high quality, it wouldn't have mattered because even with the best sets, effects, music, etc, if the plot is lackluster and there is no enjoyment to be found in a movie like that. It was like watching George Lucas try to write romance, it just didn't work. Honestly, I feel like this would have been better as a novel.

Not worth the watch, very little happens and the christian message falls flat because the movie is produced by a heretic. As a christian it is absolutely not automatically disqualifying to me when a movie has a strong christian message, however if you're going to do so, you yourself must be a paragon of virtue. This movie is produced by a self serving "christian" who uses the lords message solely for his own personal profit. Not only does he use God to enrich himself but he also uses the bible to excuse his own inappropriate behaviors. My fellow christian's, I implore you to watch gods not dead over this and even that movie has many many flaws.

Sitting through two and a half hours of this movie has truly proven to be the most torturous experience of my entire life. Honestly, I don't think waterboarding or the brazen bull hold a candle to this thing in terms of pure, unadulterated suffering. I was less than halfway through the movie before I was almost praying for the last hour or so of the runtime to be cut off so I could finally be done watching. Even charging $1.99 to rent this movie feels like extortion. I feel like I should be paid for the emotional distress this 'film' caused me. I enjoy bad movies. I like watching them, because bad movies are funny. This just made me want to cry and rip my hair out because what the hell is even going on here? The plot is nonsensical, the characters are one-dimensional at best, the romance comes out of nowhere, and everyone in this movie acts like they're aliens in disguise and this is their first day being humans or something. I think the filmmakers need to spend less time insulting cinema with these 'movies' and more time outside so they can actually get a grip on reality for once.

Christmas movies aren't famous for portraying real-life scenarios but even in a genre with outrageous plots and characters exist this one takes top marks for addle pated nonsense. Princes, ghosts, and 13th century knights are workable love interests when plots lean into fantasy elements. Where this movie falls down is wanting to be both "real" enough that the audience absorbs the hit-'em-over-the-head anti-government, anti-intellectual, anti-career woman message and also fantastical enough to serve as a seasonal meet-cute whirlwind love story. Ultimately the humble Harvard-trained lawyer who shook loose of the big city error of his ways is a poor excuse for a holiday hero.
There are scores of Christmas movies produced each year, most of which are great if only in their sheer campiness. Nearly all are better than A Law for Christmas.

Wow........,where do I begin....... It's horrible. Not just bad because I don't like the storyline. It's HORRIBLE acting, poor production, and corny storyline. It's absolutely painful to watch. Like the other review, I created an account solely to leave a review...it's that bad. Who created this movie? I can't believe it went through to completion. An hour of my life I'll never get back.
Hallmark would never!!
Then. This. Website. Puts. A minimum. On your word count. Of reviews. So now I am just typing stuff to fill up the space and finally post my review. The most important thing is to avoid this movie like your life depends on it.

The movie struggles under the weight of its overbearing Christian themes, turning what could have been a heartwarming holiday story into a preachy sermon. The constant focus on faith and salvation feels out of place, overshadowing the movie's potential to explore broader themes of love and unity. Additionally, the acting falls flat, with stiff performances that fail to bring depth or charm to the characters. Ultimately, the film's lack of balance and weak acting make it a forgettable and disappointing holiday experience. The acting is actually reminiscent of the kind you would see in porn movies.

I love that the true meaning of Christmas was displayed in this film. Also, this was a fun, romantic comedy that the whole family can enjoy together.
Gloria and Christian had great connection and chemistry. Carol was delightful and Noelle was adorable. The entire cast brought a special dynamic to this story,
I plan to make watching this movie a new Christmas tradition, especially the scene with the Christmas story. This movie portrays faith, family, and the reason we celebrate the season. The theme of serving others was another highlight for me.
This movie is both comical and thought-provoking. A refreshing film for romcom fans!

OK, I'll admit it, I only watched this because the Opening Arguments legal podcast roasted it as a "Law'd Awful Movie", under the mistaken impression it has some law in it, which it really doesn't, but it is indeed comically bad.
If you've ever seen a Hallmark movie, you can figure out most of the plot in the first 10 minutes. You know that the horrible, career-driven, female Scrooge will go to a small town, meet a hunky down to Earth guy, learn the "true meaning of Christmas", and decide to completely give up her old life. That's not a spoiler. Those are just the ground rules.
The thing is, as insipid as Hallmark movies are, they actually do employ competent actors, writers, and directors. They know their audience and give them what they want. This has none of that. The acting, writing, directing and budget would embarrass a community theater.
It begins when the main character, who has some sort of undefined job in the government, hatches a plan to divert farm subsidy money to (I think?) put WiFi on NYC subways...maybe?
This impresses the Vice President so much that he appoints her Secretary of Agriculture. Wait, that's not how it works, you tell me? You could write it off as the writers/directors being German, except that in my experience, Germans know more about American government that we do, so I have no explanation.
Anyway, her first job as Secretary of Agriculture (did I mention there's no confirmation or anything?) is to travel personally to a small town to interview farmers in support of a campaign video - after carefully editing their comments.
You can fill in the rest from there.
The crazy thing is that they put in a LOT of religion, but (minor spoiler) it ends up being totally irrelevant to the story. In the end, the true message of the movie is what a great idea socialism would be, except that I think they're too dumb to realize that's what they're saying.
Anyway 2 hours and 20 minutes (!!) of my life I won't get back.

I know that the producers and makers of this film prob had a lower budget to work with (and it was evident in the film) BUT REGARDLESS, The message behind the film was (is) what Christmas is all about!!!
It truly is a family friendly movie, it's safe for the whole family to watch together, and the message at the very end of the film was very sweet too!
I only wish the best for everyone who created this film, and I want to encourage you to continue to create content that honors God and content that brings a message of hope!
If you are reading this and are curious, you should watch the movie and decide for yourself!

Good movie! What happens to Gloria happens to a lot of people working in entertainment, hospitals, schools and so. They choose a career for a good reason, but they lose their path. They spend years and years looking for promotions, high paid jobs or positions with responsibilities. Christian is right when he says to Gloria that we need to ask the whys.
I think it's normal that the movie mentions Jesus. Christmas is related to the bible. Also, the characters live in a small rural community. Usually, people are more conservative in those communities. I don't think it is a Christian movie.
I would definitely recommend this movie for people that are searching for a career and a life with meaning.
