Wish for Christmas

Please God haters..move along nothing to see it learn here. This movie was warm and endearing. The acting was fine and the message was sweet. Be careful what you wish for. Those that hate God will have nothing good ever to say so who cares what they say.

I'm a big fan of Joey Lawrence. It's a pretty good movie but have a real issue how it makes it look like you have to be a religious fanatic who expects a prayer to solve all of their problems instead of of making things happen yourself. That if you're an atheist you aren't caring, sympathetic, helpful. Which isn't true at all. Atheists are just as caring, sympathetic, and helpful as religious people if not more so as we do it because we care not because we fear a imaginary being. This movie makes it look like you either got to be a fanatic or a selfish, uncaring jerk. I wish they could have swung it with some kind of middle ground.

I agree with the other reviewer that it would be a shame to listen to religiously bigoted folks and miss this delightful movie. It may have elements slightly reminiscent of other films, but they are remotely similar, at most. A fabulous reminder that what the world truly needs all year long is less Santa and more Jesus. If you think that we're all here due to an illogically intricate bunch of cosmic randomness and genetic mistakes, you'll probably hate this movie. But if you're convinced there is eternal wisdom at work and it affects everyday life, enjoy!

Wish for Christmas is a terrible festive movie in an ocean of already bad Christmas movies. Every year we see dozens of these low budget clones pounded out ready for television premieres but they aren't usually this bad.

Now the three words that tend to be used excessively and badly out of context are agenda, objectification and propaganda. I hate seeing them used in reviews because they usually aren't but conflict with a persons stance on something. I however for the first time will use one of them.

This is a propaganda film. It tells the story of a girl who not getting her own way makes a wish to make her Christian parents lose their faith. In doing so everything goes to hell (Pun intended and hilarious).

From there I'm sure you can work out exactly how the movie goes and I don't see how anyone could claim that isn't the definition of propaganda. I haven't seen a worse Christmas movie of this type since the embarassment that was Kirk Cameron Saves Christmas (2014).

Beyond that it's cheesy, poorly acted and the plot makes me hate this time of year more than ever.

The Good:

Nope

The Bad:

Cheesy

Dreadful acting from start to finish

Simply religious propaganda

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Christmas movies need more Santa and less Jesus to be even remotely bearable

My wish for Christmas is a year without Christmas movies

Thank you for the beautiful perspective in a world that is so materialistic and selfish. It was well directed/produced and my husband and I really enjoyed the message sent through the movie.
