A Magic Christmas

Sweet, beautiful family movie! And the scenery is SPECTACULAR!! Came here to see where it was filmed and ended up sharing this review. Highly under rated Christmas movie. Burt Reynold's voiceover as the family dog is priceless! As a single romantic with no family, loved it just the same. Smiled all the way through. The teenage kids are perfect. And can't say enough about the STUNNING scenery!

BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM VERY FARE ABOUT THESE FILMS

This film a man Jack Carter, a modest, middle-aged man, and owner of a bakery has found himself and his family in a rut. Not only can he not provide his family with the finer things, he has also found he is not as close to his kids as he would like to be. So for the upcoming Christmas holiday, Jack has the brilliant idea to reconnect with his family while also trying to spark his desired career in writing by going on a Christmas vacation to a cabin resort in the mountains where his late father used to take him as a boy. When he runs into an old friend (Robert) who is rich.

Robert ends up steeling Christmas out from under Jack. The more Robert spends on Jacks family the worse he feels about himself.

The film is okay but I have to give credit to the writer of this film. They could have made Robert a villain and they didn't. The villain in reality is insecurity,

Nice film to watch with your family.

I had a smile on my face throughout the entire film. It's not perfect. Takes a bit too long to get to the 'Magic' part- could have spent more time searching for it, but overall the movie has believable dialogue and is full of Family heart. I really enjoyed it! Great to see C. Thomas Howell in such a likable role. Everyone did a good job here and took the high road to the end. Any other movie might have devolved into stereotypes. Good Family Christmas Movie!

People seem to forget these are Christmas movies & are made for family's & also to be heart warming, not made to be mega hits or any where close to blockbuster status, made for tv!! That out of the way, it is an enjoyable film for the family about two families that are in different directions!! One thing I did notice though is the cabin. This is the same cabin that is in Christmas Under Wraps. Just give it a try if you are like me & enjoy these kinds of movies.
