    A True Christmas Movie

    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.

    Uneven script, unrealized plot, unbelievable characters

    I'm not motivated to review many movies, but here a good premise frustrated and disappointed me. I wanted to like this movie, but in the end it was undone by an uneven script, unrealized plot, and unbelievable characters. I even like Christian movies when done well, but unlike other reviewers I don't believe that factor alone merits a blind 10 stars.

    The film begins with a confusing flash-forward, necessary apparently to get you to develop sympathy for the protagonist. He is a poor business owner who, like Job, is saddled with one adversity after another. You're sympathetic for him at first, but he's appears hapless and directionless for 90% of the movie.

    He befriends a woman whose son seems to have ADHD on overdrive, so energetic as to be irritating and a distraction. For some reason he's attracted to this kid and his mother, although there is about 2% on-screen chemistry between them.

    I kept waiting for this movie to realize it's potential. For example, there's a bar scene where the conspirators' scheming is obviously overheard by an individual nearby, but nothing comes of it. You think the new woman friend with her accounting skills will unwind the plot against him. But she mysteriously can't find anything wrong. The mayor talks conspiratoratorily with an antagonist, but you're never sure which side he is on. The protagonist captures some thugs on his phone outside a bar walking, which proves... what? Job - I mean the factory owner - gets hold of a bunch of random transactions, which are evidence of something nefarious, but never revealed.

    The director could have done a much better job with the script.

    Wonderful motive, Woeful premise.

    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.

    Not sure

    I guess I just did not like the premise that peoples troubles are always someone else's fault. Since when have Americans thought that They are owed something or that charity is their right. Whole premise sadly rubbed me the wrong way.

    One of the Best Christian Christmas Movies this Decade

    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!!!!
