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.

I believe that some of the people who worked on this film may have actually been trying, and good on them, but this is just lazy film making. It feels so fake and I watched it with my 4 year old cousin and she was bored the entire time. It gets it's points across in the most on the nose way possible, and it is honestly just awful. I don't want to slander anyone who makes movies and is trying to create art, but this movie should not have been made. Whoever had the most creative control should be ashamed.
Creative story line twist amidst many Christmas shows that are all the same. Love wins!
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.

For a low-budget film that uses a lot of non-professionals, this is a really good film.
A pleasing plot. Very neat.
And the children are great actors.
I'm glad I watched it. I almost didn't - because of the low rating.
I had watched a big-budget children's film before it and that had the same rating. I gave it a 4. It was dire.
This film, however, is so much better.
No special effects, no professional child actors, but just so much better.
