Christmas Grace

Christmas movies are enjoyable. They are family friendly & have lots of heart. By the end of most these films you feel great. My favorite films are always have a "Real Christmas" flare to them. I love films that have "Snow" in them. I also love it when they do incorporate what" Christmas" really is about.

Now as a Christian I was looking forward to watching this film after I read the back cover of the DVD. After I saw this film all I can say is "The general idea of the film was good but the film itself fails to be even remotely entertaining"

The plot was really truthful about the teaching of Christ but you get hit over the head with the "Message" and so the message gets "lost".

The screenplay was amateurish. The sets were not great and the acting was the worse.

"Christmas Grace" tells the story of two rival toy store owners during Christmas time. Gary, who runs an honest business and has a good relationship with his customers. Everything is running smooth for Gary until he hears of a new bigger store opening up across the street from him. This owner, Jim, is a ruthless businessman who will stop at nothing to grow his business and eliminate his competition. Since his most immediate competition happens to be Gary s store, he sets his target on him. As the story unfolds it becomes very clear that God is at work in the lives of these two men, and Gods Grace and Providence work out in ways neither one of them could of imagined.

If you want to see how "NOT" to make a film this is a great example. This film could of been better had a better writer was brought in and gave a polish to the dialog.

This film should be remade but with a more talented creative team. TheWriter/Director of "Christmas Grace" Keith Perna has no talent of either.

What a terrible film. The plot. The directing. The writing. The acting. The camera angles. Nothing is done by a professional.

In this film a fan has his faith tested when he loses his toy store business after a major competitor opens up his revival store across the street.

If you want to have a blast with this film then you need to invite friends over have keg of beer and then laugh at how bad this film gets and how stupid the ending is.

The best thing about this film is that you can take the DVD of it and have a pretty good size coaster for your coffee table.

I do not mind a religious theme I expect it in a Christmas movie. What I hate is poorly made films.

Christmas movies are nice to watch. They can be really good or really bad. This film SUCKS. I don't mind films with a "Christian Theme" I mean after all "Christmas" is about the birth of Jesus. What I hate is films that are badly done. The worse offenders are movies like this that have "nothing of value". Unless You want to make a coaster out of the DVD. The Jacket Art is much better than the film.

The problems with "Christmas Grace" is that the writing is bad. The cast is bad. The sound is bad. The plot is bad. The photography is bad.

In this film a man who is a Christian loses his toy store when a chain store opens up on the same street as his. This does not cause him to lose his faith but it also drives him to rebuild his life and later re-open his store.

The general idea of this film is fine "But it was badly done". The writer/director has no clue how to construct a film however none of the actors are any good. There is better acting in porn films.

If you look at the "GOOD REVIEWS" they were all written in 2-3 day period. That makes me question the integrity of them.

I think they were written by people who made the film.

DO NOT BOTHER TO WATCH THIS. MAYBE IS YOUR DRUNK IT MIGHT BE GOOD!

Wow watching this is most likely worse than being water boarded. I can not fathom why this film has so many great reviews on this page. This film has no merits of quality in front of or behind the camera.

The screenplay is thin and the acting is high school level. The plot of this film reminds me that I have a plumbing problem and I need to get a new toilet.

If you do not believe that this film is terrible read the other reviews. It seems to me there is a few of us that were misled by bogus ratings!

Some jerk here said this film is suffering from "Unfair Criticism by angry people". That is not true. The majority of these good reviews were written by people who only have only reviewed this film. That tells me that the filmmaker is most likely behind these reviews.

THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS ARE JUSTIFIED

BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION & THAT IS WHAT IS GOING ON HERE FOR THIS FILM! TRUST ME THIS FILM IS TERRIBLE. NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 Christmas MOVIES. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM FARE.

Christmas Grace tells the story of two rival toy store owners competing for business over several Christmas seasons. One of them is Gary (RyanIver Klann), a young toy store owner who runs an honest business and who tries to maintain a good reputation with his customers. Things are running smoothly for Gary until his business is threatened when a much larger toy company moves to the neighborhood. The owner of this larger company, Mr. Tollman (Tim Kaiser), is a ruthless businessman who voraciously wants to grow his business and eliminate competition. Since his most immediate competition is Gary's store, he sets his target on him. As the story unfolds, it becomes very clear that God is at work in the lives of these two men, and God's grace and providence work out in ways neither of them could have imagined.

There is nothing professional about this film. Its bad. It slow moving & anti climatic. Its also too preachy. I don't mind a religious message but they do hit you over the head with it every 2 minutes. This film is not worth your time.

I don't mind a religious message. I just don't like bad films.
