You will Love This or Hate It
BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.
In this film: A woman (Nicole de Boer) Disillusioned Liza McCann and her son travel to Hollyville to visit her estranged father. The town's profuse decorations and intense Yuletide spirit exasperate Liza, who has hated the holidays ever since she was a little girl. But a series of magic and inexplicable events force Liza to rethink everything she thought was true.
This is a film you will love or hate. If you like Christmas movies then you will love this. If you are a "Scrooge" . "Grinch" or a "Mr. Potter" don't bother to watch.
I like this film even though it has LOW BUDGET and the sets are cheap, If you look close you will see the same extras in one scene. There is a woman in a purple top carrying purse seen several times.
What works wonders in this film is that it does capture (To Me) that great feeling you have when its Christmas Time.
For me I love "The Christmas Season and Movies" as much as most men love Football Season. So a film like "Christmas Town" is perfect for me,
Parents with small children should watch this with them. It will Create a great memory!

Only one thing bugs me
I love this movie. An overworked Mom trying to raise her son alone finds the Christas spirit and a new life after seeing the results of the same life change on her previously workaholic father. What could be better? A little escape from reality :) The only thing that bugs me is the son in this picture. He doesn't mind his Mom! I think the creators of this movie felt it was cute for him to ignore his Mom and create havoc but I think it is a bad example. Kids get lost and hurt this way. Other than that, it is a very cute movie :)
This is made for the Santa Believers
This film works for young children. Adults will be bored but its not made for you. In this film a young man discovers that Santa's village may not be in the North Pole.
The acting is fine the special effects are not great but the story works and at the end of the day that is what counts. Family safe. You will smile at the end if you give it a fare chance!

The lead actor looks craggy and sloppy like he was dragged backwards through a knothole
The leads who are supposed to fall for each other have NO chemistry at all. The lead actor looks craggy and sloppy like he was dragged backwards through a knothole and had the most unlikeable pushy "get onboard the Christmas Town cult" schtick I wanted to smack him. I'd be concerned about the Hot Cocoa they keep pushing. Cranky lead actress never gets more charming and I cannot understand why anyone would fall for her romantically. Unless it's the cocoa psychedelic effect. This is supposed to be such a Christmassy town and it looks like it is mid-July. I understand that Christmas happens in California but this had no Christmas feeling at all. The boy was an insufferable brat who was far too old to be still believing in Santa. But the terrible parenting probably caused this child to overcompensate. Just an overall unfun Christmas movie. What is what all these good reviews???
Reindeer
I didn't get a chance to watch the whole movie but from what I saw was good. What I wanted to say is where I live, there is a lake in our town called Allouette Lake that everyone knows about and has been too. When i was on my way down to the boat launch at the beginning of the summer this year, we were stopped due to a movie being filmed. When we asked the traffic control officer what was going on they told us they are shooting a Christmas movie and there is a reindeer up in the bushes. So, at the point in the movie when they are in the car driving down the road and eventually stop because the kid see's something in the bush, that is the Allouette Lake boat launch. About a 2 minute walk from where they stop on either side are just a bunch of people from my town waiting to either launch their boat or pick one up!
