The Christmas Dance

I caught this film one evening as I'm a sucker for Christmas films but this was something else. The acting was so-so but the story between the two lovers was ridiculous, he is so self righteous regarding her and her feelings, letting kids down when your brother could die and you have a job that you don't want to get fired from but he makes it all about God and being there - seriously this guy is definitely single for a reason it's his way or no way.

I liked the parents they were what Christmas films should be about and their scenes were good .

Avoid unless there is literally nothing else to watch.

Cute and perfectly cheesy Christmas movie. It actually reflects on the true meaning of Christmas and not the commercial aspects that have taken over. It is refreshing to see a film that isn't afraid to show spirituality and faith as a part of a character. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend.

Aside from the usual contrivance to make a big city girl have to go home at Christmas time, this is a nice story that is actually about regular people getting ready for the holidays. First, their lives are centered around their church family and the real preparations for Christmas. Secondly, and most importantly, their homes and their town are not filled with ridiculous over-decoration like standard holiday fare. Nobody has garland in every window, shelf, and doorway in real life. I only wish that they could have recruited some better actors. Aside from Richard Karn, they're all a little stiff. But the story is pleasant enough.

Very well done. One of the best Christmas movies in a while. Yes it has religious tones and yea Christmas is about Jesus people need to get over it and know when they buy celebrate Christmas they are celebrating the birth of Christ. Send me the hate mail!!!

For some reason there is no mention of this that I can see but an accurate review of this movie should mention its really a "Christian Movie" as in even the dialog is peppered with religious references after the first 10 minutes. Characters are referred to "brother" this and "sister" by the minister father who plays a leading role.

The lead actress is pretty good and the supporting cast isn't too bad. For me it got so bogged down in the religious aspects that I couldn't finish it. In the end there is no real plot except to "witness" no us non-believers,

The high rating was clearly bid up by believers. Compared to other "Hallmark type" movies it is objectively not very good.
