Miracle Maker

It all happens when there's advance word by letter and word of a lot of gossipy mouths that a Miracle Maker is coming to some small gaslight era town in the 19th century. Some miracles do happen when Jacob Stoenman comes to this unnamed middle America town of the era. Even the town's Mr. Potter played by Brian Krause gets a change of heart in the end.

Borrowing also a bit from Pollyanna, Miracle Maker is an interesting family film that's light on the overt preaching. In the end some real miracle does take place with those rocks which he uses for currency as he clears some worthless land he's settled on prove valuable. You have to watch the film for that one.

This is an easy to take holiday fantasy film.

This is a fantasy and Western video made for the Christmas season in 2015. The residents of a small, unnamed prairie town in the old West need to have a miracle worker come to town. The apparent reason is because they all seem to be short on money with which to pay the rent for their homes and businesses. While the film has a nice Christmas season outcome, the plot is quite odd. Does James Booth own the whole town? There have been a number of Western movies made over the years in which a cattle baron or mining company ruled over a town. But never before were the residents and shop owners all renters of those folks.

Beyond that, this film has some holes, problems with continuity, very stagey scenes and some not very professional acting. One scene from outside shows what would be a hamlet - little more than a collection of houses spread around. Then, there's a scene of a town center with shops and buildings all around it. And, it looks so manicured that it can't possible be a disguised stage setting.

It's a stretch to give this even five stars, but I do so in the spirit of the Christmas season just ended, when I watched the DVD of this film.

I was very pleased with this film. It was not quite what I expected, though it gave so much more. Though the man could have been an Angel, he performed his acts of kindness as if it were second nature to him. He consistantly acted in love of his neighbor as should we all. I would strongly recommend this film for family viewing and even touching up on our own reflective walk of love.

This movie is what Christmas movies are supposed to be. Sweet, sentimental, and about forgiveness. In other words, a good Christian movie 🎥 without shoving anything down your throat. Too many movies nowadays are geared towards pleasing special interests. That's why my family tunes out more and more...

The little girl did a wonderful job with her role . She was super cute and had my family giggling on more than one occasion. Our make lead was quite handsome as well which didn't hurt my feelings one bit. His acting was spot on.

I also enjoyed the background scenery of the Hamlet. To be honest, I wouldn't mind living there.

What a beautifully made movie.The acting the little ones did took my breath away
