Prancer: A Christmas Tale

This is, hands down, the worst Christmas movie I've ever seen, as well as being one of the worst in general. The acting is horrible; I've seen better in B-movies. None of the characters were remotely likeable. I'll never get that 105 minutes back. Good Lord, this was a bad film. Watch Prancer that came out a few decades ago instead. That one was much better. I am utterly astounded that the film maker watched the finished product and decided that he should release this film AND put his name on it. I don't know, maybe if Hallmark or Lifetime movies are too intense and rowdy, then you could possibly enjoy this film. But I doubt it.

Cute storyline

• especially with the young granddaughter slowly developing a relationship with her Grandpa -

And the storyline involves relationships of different family members- as well as a small town business with local town people.

And beautiful snow snow snow scenes!

And magical lights - by a magical Christmas reindeer. Yes. Prancer is definitely back again.

Acting well done - and especially the young actress granddaughter and the actor grandfather

And definitely the reindeer Prancer who delivered in each and every scene

Good directing and storyline

Christmas magical story Very cute.

Solid story. Unique story. Heartwarming and magical. I loved the relationship between grandfather and granddaughter so much. Even the dichotomies in the different relationships depending on the situation. It felt familial. The little girl was beautifully charming. And she and James Cromwell were wonderful together.

If you want to watch something new that you haven't seen done 1000x before but still get the warmth of a classic holiday movie you can't go wrong here.

Nuanced enough to give the viewer something to think about. Christmas spirited and surprisingly good.

Easy and sweet I really enjoyed it.

Light hearted, easy to watch family film that leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy inside. Just what a Christmas film should do! The casting is superb, as is the acting especially that of the main character Gloria. The filming is just beautifull, helped by the wonderful scenery, sets and reindeer. The director seems to be so aware of all the emotions needed throughout the film making you feel every moment with the characters from sadness to absolute bliss. As a grandads girl myself I couldn't recommend this film more to anyone, especaill those in need of some festive cheer or a reminder of what's most important.

Bud (James Cromwell) has been a grumpy old man since the death of his beloved wife Betty. He is closing his coffee shop store in this dying town. A reindeer flies over him and he crashes his truck. Claire (Sarah-Jane Potts) is coming home from London with her daughter Gloria (Darcey Ewart). Her brother wants to put Bud in an old-age home.

I love the grandpa granddaughter relationship. As for Prancer, I like the mystery of the first half. The magic is a bit underwhelming. I was expecting a ride to the North Pole, or finding a magical portal in the woods. I don't think switching on the lights is as awe-inspiring as it's being shown to be. That's the only disappointment in an otherwise sweet family film. I really like this kid and James Cromwell always delivers.
