The review about bashing poor people could not be further from the truth. This individual obvously did not watch the movie!!! The story is about the hatred that is stirred up by gossip. It is about embezzlement at a very high level and how we all suffer from it. The acting is excellent and you will watch it until the end!!! I can;t believe they didn't win some awards and film festivals. Yes--it is that good!!!!

It seems Matthew's family left a trust fund to pay for a annual Christmas pageant. He also owns a financially struggling manufacturing business. The trust fund had expended all the money for the Christmas pageants so Matt goes to the town council meeting to explain the dilemma. The mayor and town council blame him for the fund being exhausted. Apparently, they think it's Matt's responsibility to harvest a magical money tree to replenish the trust fund. As his business is unable to afford to keep all his employees on full time pay, they go on strike, apparently assuming the union can sustain strike pay. The details are in the movie.

The kid was a little tough to take; was tempted to fast-forward through the scenes, he was on the screen.

What a great story and great characters. Yes, the acting could be better for some of the characters, but the main ones were good. So much happens throughout the movie. It is very much a spirited film, with a huge heart throughout. It shows how important relationships are, as well as how things can happen for a reason. The people that are put in your path are there for a reason, so take notice. The movie starts off with a rich versus poor theme, but that is really not what it is about. I highly recommend it.

Great acting, Great Message about taking care of those that are struggling and hurting. The Young Kid Steals the show. He is such a good actor. Jokes were great, not overly preach like a lot of Christian movies. The bad guys were good in it. Was not hokey but very moving and touching. I thought it was so good this is my first review on this site. Check it out, you will, laugh, you might even cry, The young kid and the main actor have some very emotional scenes. I GIVE IT A 10. Go See it. Such good movies like this don't come out enough in the movie theater. We in America need more touching movies, with Heart and caring about our neighbors. This type of movie is great.
