A Christmas Star

Nice change of pace from the typical American Christmas Movie If you are familiar with the Bible then you will understand the phrase "And A Child Shall Lead Them" Born under the Christmas Star, Noelle believes she has the gift to perform miracles, so when conniving developer McKerrod threatens her peaceful life she and her friends determine to use this gift to thwart his plans and save their village. with the Bible you will understand when I say "And a Child Shall lead them" . This film is short and sweet. If you h ave a chance to view it to advantage of the opportunity. This is not a by the number "Hallmark" film. It has a nice "Disney Vibe" to it. There is even a few cameos in this film for the adults.

This film is very good. It is safe for the family to watch. Not a well known movie but it should be.

Creative story line twist amidst many Christmas shows that are all the same. Love wins!

The story is alright, but the real gem is the surprise celebrity cameos. They are really big names and I wonder how the filmmakers managed to get the big names to appear in the film!

Based on some of other reviews, I first watched this in 2017 or so, and I'm glad I did. I've watched it every year since. I have no idea why the overall rating is poor. I just changed mine from 8 to 9 to help!

The acting was good - children and adults - the scenery's lovely, and the story is real. There is some ugliness spoken, but it all gets resolved. I heartily recommend this movie to anyone - please give it a try, and rate it! It may be best for ages 8-9 and up, since there's not much action or shiny things for small tots. If you like this, also see Journey to the Christmas Star (Norway).

Liam Neeson and Pierce Brosnan must have lent their fame to this film because they love children and families. Beyond their notoriety, this movie's script has no real hook.

The pottery town of Pottersglen is about to be purchased to make way for a casino and golf course. Coincidence with the name Potter being used (as in "Its a Wonderful Life" with Mr. Potter as the antagonist?) Maybe so, but even top stars couldn't save this oft repeated "save the town from a greedy, villainous corporate executive" theme. Liam Neeson's narration and his easily recognizable gravely voice add any magic. Cute kids. Good acting. Bad script.
