    This Christmas Present Is Okay

    This movie has been delivered as Disney Channel's ultimate present. And the Christmas present was at least okay. The Ultimate Christmas Present is a type of Christmas film that would be meant for the kids during the holidays. Of course as a television Christmas movie from Disney Channel, it wouldn't be as good as any Christmas special with how it would be nothing more than generic. Featuring an averagely made story, weak slapstick mostly pointless characters. But there can also be times the movie can have fun moments with nice special effects, a neat concept of an invention that creates weather, a good moral of what Christmas is about and some of the room the film would give for Santa and the elves. In terms of my recommendation, I would say since we are talking about a television Christmas film, it would mostly be for the kids since they will have fun watching the invention turning California into snow. As for the rest, I would say to watch it at least occasionally for Christmas time. There may not be a lot of Christmas films Disney Channel has produced, but I would debate that it's a better type of film they produced.

    It is snowing in Los Angeles

    I grew up in the Los Angeles area. In the Los Angeles Southern California area we never get snow. In fact we hardly get rain. In Southern California it is not uncommon to spend Christmas Day in shorts. As a kid in California you always wish for Snow especially at Christmas. As you know all Christmas films seem to always take place in the snow or there is Snow somewhere in almost every outdoor shot. Christmas Cartoons always take place in the snow and when your growing up in California you feel left out. You want to build a snowman at Christmas time. However you will most likely build a sandcastle. That is why I liked this film! It was having a childhood wish come true! That is why I enjoyed this film.

    In this film Two teen girls, find a weather machine at a shack in the woods. After learning of its controls, they use it to make it snow in Los Angeles. It is every kids dream come true but it has its consequences.

    It turns out that the weather machine belongs to Santa Claus (John B. Lowe) and he informs Mrs. Claus about this. To help Santa Claus, she sends two elves, Crumpet (John Salley) and Sparky (Bill Fagerbakke).

    The film has plot wholes but you can watch this with your family and most kids will not be bored! It is worth watching.

    Could this machine be responsible for it too?!?!?!

    Allie Thompson is 13 and will do anything to get out of school, including manipulating nature and the weather. Allie and her friend Sam discover a mysterious mechanism capable of making snow. When they decide to use it, carrying out a perfect plan to fill the city with snow, things start to go wrong and the girls get into a big mess when the machine goes out of control and the city is devastated by a blizzard.

    Very cute, fluffy as every Christmas movie should be, the difference lies in the creativity, or not, a machine thrown away by Santa Claus, so useful for the pranks of two excited girls... Very cute... At the end of December there was a unprecedented blizzard in the USA, could this machine be responsible for it too?!?!?!

    TERRIFIC DISNEY MOVIE

    Our family loved this holiday movie about two girls who find a snow machine and make it snow in Los Angeles. This is the best Disney Channel Film I have seen. It had terrific comic moments and tender moments, too. Recommended for ages four through early teens

    "The Ultimate Christmas Present"- 7/10. Fun kids movie for the holidays.

    The Ultimate Christmas Present (2000) TV Movie

    This movie was pretty entertianing and enjoyable. It's not a perfect movie, but it's good enough to get you into the Christmas spirit. It's about two girls who find a machine that belongs to Santa Claus, and it controls the weather. The girls take it, and reveal it can make rain, sun, wind, tornados, even snow, which is perfect because she has a paper due the last day before Xmas vacation. So, they try out the machine, and the next thing they no it's snowing- in Los Angeles! Now, the snow storm has stopped her Dad from getting home for Christmas, and the holiday spirit begins to crumble unless she can stop the machine with the help of Santa and his two elves.

    This movie has plenty of fun and can be enjoyed by your whole family. Get some cookies and egg nog while watching this, and you should get into the Christmas spirit. 7/10.
