Christmas Cars

Great to see a movie that takes you away from reality for a bit. This probably won't win an Oscars but for a low budget independent it was fun and enjoyable. Grab a glass of wine on a snowy night and enjoy.

Low budget should not mean low quality when it comes to independent movie productions. Unfortunately, this is the case with this particular movie. The acting in this movie is awful to say the least. From my part, I particularly enjoy indie movies because the focal point is on the quality of acting and intriguing story-line. However, in this movie, the acting is severely poor and many people from the cast aren't even professional actors. The plot is also nonsensical and lacks in any form of congruence. In conclusion, this movie is being marketed as a tribute to the Dukes of Hazzard but it's just an amateurish, cheesy and very cheap production devoid of any significance in acting and directing.

I love this film; it's touching, warm and funny. Partly based on the recent events in John Schneider's life (which would have broken someone any less nuts than Schneider), the film charts the main protagonists struggle to keep his beautiful Louisiana property after the 2016 floods (2 major floods). I love Schneider's humour and honesty in this film. In part it's sad, but mostly it's uplifting with common sense and plain goodness running throughout it. A great watch which puts a smile on your face.

I loved this movie. It was fun and reminicent to the heart of Dukes of Hazzard. Contrary to all the talk about racism, this is far from that, just as DOH was never about racism, on the contrary. It was always about helping others. This is a heart-warming story of a man minding his business and being attacked because of ulterial motives and hidden agendas. I cried because I saw the pain behind the story and the man- John Schneider! Reality is there will always be people who attack those who have a difference in opinion but you have to go on doing what you believe in. Thank you John Schneider for sharing this story with us in Christmas Cars. I enjoyed all the easter eggs in it and you had me laughing, crying, and rejoicing with you. Keep up the great work. You have aheart of gold and you truly have embraced Bo Duke's values of fighting the croocked system. Keep fighting! You have many fans behind you supporting and applauding you. I have always been a fan since DOH and I remain a fan because you are a good and kind man. God bless you John and Alicia!

Let's get it out of the way: the production values of this film are low. Really low. John Schneider's Maven Studios produces low-budget films mostly aimed at his fans and fans of the Dukes of Hazzard. The acting ranges from good (John) to non-existent (most everyone else). I'm pretty sure a lot of the cast is friends and family. That said, Christmas Cars is an entertaining holiday film, based loosely on real events. Take it for what it is and enjoy the ride. John produces and directs the story of a down-and-out version of himself trying to save his home and property from foreclosure by selling models of the General Lee for Christmas. The film touts friendship, tolerance and a little holiday romance.

Think of it as a 90 minute holiday Dukes of Hazzard. Grab an eggnog flavored beer and enjoy it.
