Le Mensonge de Noël

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

"Christmas films" get the short end of the stick when it comes to getting critical acclaim. This film doesn't help the case that these films are "Predictable" but what this films does have is charm to spare.

In this warm holiday drama an executive forced to cut the jobs of many people working at a small-town tractor factory gets a big surprise when he's mistaken as the savior of the local economy. Melissa Gilbert, Tim Matheson, Travis Tritt, Michelle Trachtenberg star. AKA: "Christmas in My Hometown."

The film does Emphasize "Faith" "Hope" "Loyality" "Love" "Forgiveness" "2nd Chances" and "Family"

This film is family safe but mainly adults over 30 will enjoy this most.

This was enjoyable. If you come across it watch it.

This is one of the better Christmas movies made way back in the last century yet still holds up today. Starring Tim Matheson and Melissa Gilbert.

As far as the goof everyone is pointing out when Jake uses the phone in his hotel, it's obvious that the phone has no cord attached. I guess that means it's a cordless phone!

"A Holiday for Love" (that's the title under which I saw this movie on Freevee) turned out to be a very nice surprise. I just finished reading Tim Matheson's autobiography "Damn Glad to Meet You" (It's a very good read by the way) so I checked his filmography looking for a Christmas and I came across "A Holiday for Love". I wasn't expecting much but the movie won me over pretty quickly. The cast is very likeable and they all do a nice job, even non-actor Travis Tritt does a nice job. Sure, the movie gets a little silly/corny at times but who cares. It's a Christmas movie. I plan on watching this one again.

My wife and I watch a variety of Christmas movies each season - this one we viewed for the 1st time and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is my top favorite. Tim Matheson and Melissa Sue Gilbert have perfect chemistry in this movie...they are PERFECT for each other and appear completely natural. If you want to watch a great Christmas movie that will warm the soul...this is the one!! The story is that the Bean Tractor Co. is having financial issues and may need to layoff or close the plant. Tim (Jake) is chosen to go to the Athens, Nebraska plant unannounced to see what his thoughts are as he is a senior executive. He meets lovely Melissa Sue after his car skids off the road in a snowstorm several days before Christmas...the chemistry between them starts right away - two hearts meeting. Merry Christmas to all in 2008!

I saw this film some time ago on Sky TV and loved it so much that I wanted to go and buy but alas it is not purchasable. I thought the romance between Tim Matheson and Melissa Gilbert was realistic and had a real feel good factor about it, in fact the whole film did. Isn't Tim Matheson wonderful!!!
