Featured reviews
I think doing a film about a homeless family was a great idea. How this family becomes homeless is just not very believable. In this film an advertising man "becomes a fall guy" at at work. He is lied too when they promise that after things cool down he will get his job back. Well he doesn't and he loses everything.
Now that does sound promising but the film doesn't work. Everyone comes across as a stereo type. The writing isn't strong enough for you to root for any of the people.
The "Happy Ending" of course is telegraphed long before it happens. If the person who wrote this writes anything else I hope they think more about story structure. I loved the general idea if this film I just hated the poorly done execution.
Novel Attempt.

This movie is by far the worst movie that I've ever seen. The acting was terrible, the scriptwriting was cliché and the underscore was so poorly produced that a circus would scoff at it. There were very few camera angles, which made viewing uninteresting. There were many scenes where the backgrounds were blurred out which actually distracted me more than if they had not been (I understand this'll have been to hide business names, but there are better ways to hide that.) The relationship between the main character and his wife was unappealing, and neither were good actors. The "comical scenes" weren't very funny at all, they were actually so 'unfunny' that they were embarrassing to the viewer. Some of the situations were insanely unrealistic and since this is supposed to be a true story, I was confused. I'm sure there was a good, wholesome point to be made, but it was lost somewhere between the cheesy acting and the poor scriptwriting. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone who values good movies!
There is many FAKE REVIEWS for this film. They have only rated this one film. That tells me they have something to do with this film because they gave it a rave review. Trust me this is the worse film I saw all year.
When I saw "Christmas Grace" and that was terrible. This week I saw "Homeless For the Holidays" and it was the stupidest film I ever watched from start to finish!
I love Christmas films but I hate terrible movies. I don't mind a film with a message but I hate being bored at this film did bore me because it did everything wrong.
I will make a coaster out of the DVD of this!

This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I somehow ended up ordering this movie on the zune marketplace and boy do I regret it. The first scene of this movie has some kid talking about money and stockmarkets. This kid is basically a robot and the character has no appeal to young viewers. The acting is really bad. It seems like the acting in porn if they took out all the sex and dirty words. Why should I care about this Jack guy? He only cares about himself, you never see him spending time with his kids and he's always ignoring his wife. I was actually rooting against him, he's not a good guy. The check out scene? Really five minutes of BLAH BLAH BLAH with no point. How does this stuff get made? I have a feeling somebody bamboozled some good Christian people into investing in this movie. I am at the 44th minute of the movie and would not be able to live with myself if I wasted another minute of my time watching this. Anybody who says this movie has any sort of entertainment value is mentally ill.
We live near Lancaster, CA, a couple hours north of Los Angeles. We can't wait to see this movie! The trailer looks great and very professionally done.
It is obvious that the producers have gone to much effort to produce a quality movie with a strong plot and good morals. As parents of 3 small children, we appreciate when companies put family-friendly movies in theaters! Many times we do not attend movies because there are too many things we do not want to expose our children to. But it is such a treat when we can all enjoy a movie together. Thanks for putting out a great movie, and we hope it will come to our area soon!

- TriviaThe scene where Shelby (Gretta Hambrook) gives Jack (Matt Moore) an envelope with money inside is actually based on a true event. When writer/director/producer George A. Johnson was going through financially difficult times, he was approached by a young girl named Shelby, who had raised over $100, and gave it to Johnson so that his family "could have a good Christmas". The envelope used in this scene is the actual envelope that Shelby gave to Johnson, and if you look closely, you will notice that the envelope says "Johnson Family".
