I'm Glad It's Christmas

The story is about a struggling performer who has reached the crossroads of deciding to abandon her dreams if she doesn't succeed by the year end. Chloe agrees to help put on a neighborhood show produced by Cora (Gladys Knight). The execution of the story has some rough moments and lacks depth. It relies on many of the formula Christmas tropes including "do you like like him?" The story even contradicts itself in the conclusion.

The acting is fair to poor. The dialogue is flat. Lowndes and Paul Greene have chemistry but it is not infectious. There are no great highs or lows or real surprises.

Lowndes sings several times through the movie, mostly in brief snippets. It seems like many movies Lowndes appears in that the movie is mostly an excuse for her to sing. Greene should not quit his day job. Both of these actors have moved from Hallmark to GAC Family and GAC seems to realize that Lowndes is an asset the more they allow her to sing.

The conclusion is the show and does include multiple performances including Gladys Knight.

The story and romance are just one more among many. The singing raises the movie above that but only marginally.

I am so sorry this movie is so bad! The script is soooo boring, and so slow!!! Let's say Jessica keeps saying "I don't know!" most of the movie, even when things seem turning for better! Music is nice, both actors sing well, but really, the story is silly, no plot, and Jessica plays very badly... one face, mostly a huge smile, that's it. And can we talk about the reaction times?! Embarassing!

I think her best friend (actress Sierra Wooldridge) was the one playing better in the whole movie! Not kidding: she did great! Along with Paul Greene who is always pretty nice and very good!

By the way I am pretty sure this movie could have been like 10 minutes shorter if they had cut all the downtime when Jessica Lowndes just thinks or mumbles!

Last thing... I watched other movies with Jessica but this is the only one where they dressed her like a pin up! I don't know why! No need for that in a family movie...

It was a beautiful simple Christmas movie. It was not as cringy as some Christmas movies but no need to overanalyse. Just watch it when in the right mood - aka around Christmas and enjoy the story. And in this day and age where everything is littered with virtue signalling, it was nice to watch something clutter free and wholesome.

A group of people working hard, trying to reach their dreams, opportunity knocking, supporting each other even when it means letting go and making the tough decisions one needs to make it in life.

Overall great vibes and brings the Christmas cheer to life. I enjoyed it.

I'm Glad It's Christmas- was so enjoyable to watch & to have all 3 leads sing and sing together was fantastic!

This was not a typical Christmas cookie cutter Christmas movie! Don't understand the negative reviews? Please spread love not hate, especially during Christmas. The movie featured all new original songs. Beautiful voices and top acting from Gladys, Paul & Jessica. The chemistry between Paul Greene & Jessica Lowndes was pretty amazing. They were beyond adorable together. And how lucky are we to have THE iconic Gladys Knight in a holiday movie?! Such a blessing & gift, please watch feel good this movie! Absolutely loved the all the singing and would love to see more beautiful moments like these in upcoming Christmas movies.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie! I absolutely adore Paul Greene and will watch him in anything he stars in, when he smiles his whole face just lights up and such kindness shines out, he makes me feel good just looking at him.

I didn't realize what a great musician and singer he is until this movie. The rest of the cast were all so highly talented especially Jessica and her beautiful voice! I really enjoyed all the music and singing it was festive, beautiful and fun! Loved seeing the incomparable Gladys Knight, she looked and sound fantastic!

I really enjoyed the storyline, it's not the basic Christmas romance formula we've all seen on Hallmark, no this starts out with him letting the girl know upfront that he likes her and really would like to date her, she also feels the same but because she thinks she might be leaving and moving back home she doesn't immediately act on her feelings. They both grow to care about each other while putting together a Christmas concert. Jessica has a huge choice to make... what will she do?? I'm not saying but suffice it to say I think they all live happily ever after! (As they should!) Everything was so Christmassy looking that it put me in the mood to get up today and start decorating my own home for Christmas!

I really enjoyed the movie and will definitely watch it again.
