The Farmer and the Belle: Saving Santaland

Beautiful location. Important themes about inner beauty. You can tell this project was a labor of love and has a lot of heart.

Well, an old friend and her family were 'extras' in this movie. It was posted on Facebook and very regularly was being advertised and built up for this Christmas release! I even purchased this movie to watch on Amazon. Well, we all sat down (six kids ages 16-6)....and, right from the start, just seemed odd and even awkward acting! The storyline was also just dumb and didn't make sense, every scene was a stretch. Even from a Christian perspective, why is this Pastor liking and considering marrying this clearly not religious girl? Definitely don't waste your time or money on this. When I researched the actress and actor....also interesting....she played a 35 year old in the movie but is 41 in real life. He also plays a 35 year old and I can't even find his age online. The pros: no could language and family friendly! The cons: everything I just listed. This is my first ever movie review because I was shocked at how many 5 star reviews there were! Clearly ,to me, there has to be bias somewhere.

Christ centered message. But main actress choice? And quality of production? Sigh. Five was generous. It's didn't make sense. Waiting for high quality and Christian message of truth in same movie.

The acting is the worse I've seen a long time and the storyline is boring.

Predictable and not so entertaining. Some really bad acting here. The song "pen pals forever" should never be sung again - forever. And then some bad directing and bad filmography top it off.

If you have anything else to do - anything - do that.
