BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM JUST HONEST.
This was as bad as any film can get. I applaud that the writer took a chance but the casting fails him. I think nobody in this film ever took more then 1 acting class.
In this film a man who is a snotty adman ends up losing his job after he agrees to take the fall for a faulty label. He is promised that he will get his job back as soon as "Controversy subsides". Little does he know his former boss/friend makes Mr Potter (from It's a Wonderful Life") look like a saint. Now after he loses his job he then slowly start losing everything else. His wife sticks by him and his kids are too good to be true.
After he loses his job from the a boss from hell he gets a new job for minimum wage. He then sees that his new boss that is not from hell but from "hell adjacent". What did work in this film I am still trying to figure that out. The film is family safe but if you love your family don't make them watch this.

After reading the "reviews" one has to wonder if a room full of people saw the same film I did. Perhaps people close to the project are all giving 10 stars but they haven't got a critical bone in their bodies. This film falls short on many levels. The script is not well written but the overall acting is even worse. Add in pacing problems, poor editing and a musical score from a carnival, there wasn't much to rave about. Despite obvious amateur shortfalls there is a nice message. I'm just not sure anyone can sit through it the first 110 minutes in hopes of finding some modest form of redemption.
This movie only played once in Chicago and once was more than enough.

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!
What could have been and should have been a very good story became a horrible mess, with a soundtrack which could make the ears bleed and performances which can make the eyes bleed.
Editing, coloring, timing, and overall casting was such a letdown that to turn it off was the best result.
I understand that small budgets mean less technology and production values, but had this a larger budget, nothing would have been the better.
It performed as bad from the first 2 minutes in and just stayed there for the entire period until closing credits. Dialogue, story development, characters and emotions were so misguided that I actually felt that watching feminine hygiene commercials would be about as entertaining.
Just so bad, so many reasons and a solid reason to watch something else.

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.
Did you know
- 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".
