Letters at Christmas

This is far from the worst thing I have ever seen but it's far from being The Godfather. The biggest consensus from all the reviews is the dialog or the writing in general. Everything is completely predictable and the dialog is clunky and awkward with zero character development. I'm unsure what method was used in developing the script, it just seemed that the end goal was to get this done asap and the movie is a complete wreck as a result. The acting is quite stale and the camera shots seem kind of uninspired. So-so production, but I seem to doubt the 3 million dollar price tag that is listed.

The cover for the 2024 Christmas movie "Letters at Christmas" from writer and director Jim Burleson seemed extraordinarily goofy and campy. And thus, I have to admit that I was sort of expecting a light-hearted Christmas movie.

But turns out that the storyline in the movie is rather depressing, dealing with a couple going through divorce. The movie doesn't really have the traditional Christmas cheerful spirit to it, and that made for a rather gloomy viewing experience.

Some of the dialogue was really cringeworthy to bear witness to. It felt very forced and awkward, doesn't really coming off as natural conversation between the characters.

The only face on the cast list that I was familiar with was Dean Cain. The acting performances in the movie were a mixed bag of nuts, some of the lines and interactions were soulless, and other performances were fair. However, they could have found a better actor for the role of Luke, as actor Raejon Jones wasn't really skilled.

If you enjoy Christmas movies, then "Letters at Christmas" is not one that I would recommend you to sit down and spend 84 minutes on watching. I made it halfway through this sluggish attempt of a Christmas movie before I tossed the towel in the ring out of sheer and utter boredom.

My rating of writer and director Jim Burleson's 2024 movie "Letters at Christmas" lands on a two out of ten stars.

When a film captures the essence of real-life struggles, portraying the depth of pain, the flicker of hope, and the resilience required to overcome the toughest challenges, it resonates on a profound level. When this journey unfolds within the framework of a family, it becomes even more impactful. And when you add the warmth and joy of a Christmas setting, it's hard not to fall in love with it! I definitely recommend adding this one to your family's holiday movie rotation! A unique and inspiring tale that shows how far love can carry you. We are excited about what is to come from Jim Burleson!

Once you start you can't turn it off. This is now part of my yearly Holiday collection. Miracle on 34th, a Christmas story, it's a wonderful life, Charlie Brown Christmas. Now Letters at Christmas. I don't want to spoil it for you so I am trying to not reveal any part. Please go enjoy this, instant classic, with the whole family. Fall in love with the meaning of Christmas all over again!!! I was so pleasantly surprised at this independent marvel!!! Merry Christmas to all !!!

When you need a feel good movie this is the one. Depicts real life feelings and situation and makes you truly believe that love conquers all!! Definitely a warm and fuzzy story!! Jim Burlison is just getting started!! This was done with a 3 million dollar budget....a 6 million dollar budget couldn't have made this any better!! The writing alone is worth 3 million and the talent in this film was exceptional! When the writer and producer can literally invision every aspect and portray every feeling as seamlessly as Jim did, it makes this nothing short of a masterpiece! This will definitely be an annual watch during the holidays!!!
