Christmas Land

This is not quite up to middling Hallmark Xmas movie standards (low enough anyway) but I wasn't as outraged at the ending as many others (perhaps because I read the spoilers first?) Enjoyable for 70 minutes or so and nonsensical for the rest, but I'm not going to complain.

My son told me to watch this one as part of my 100 Christmas movies before Christmas day challenge.

I'm glad he did as I really enjoyed it. I love how Christmassy it is. I would love to live there haha.

It was a nice movie and I will watch it again.

Maureen McCormick (the Grandmother) and Nikki DeLoach really do look a like. Knowing Maureen in her younger years as Marcia Brady helps us see the resemblance. This is what I really liked about this movie. It is written well except not to much romance or connection between the two main characters but it's still well written and worth watching.

Probably the worst Hallmark movie ever. Stupidity and greed win the day. I wish there was some way to unwatch this piece of rubbish.

Idiotic lead, greedy developer "wins", poor townsfolk saving the day. Seriously who wrote this and thought it would leave people with a happy Christmas feeling? Even worse who sanctioned it to be made?

Yea, I know Hallmark Christmas movies are full of make believe and magical stuff, but they normally leave you suspending disbelief and walking away with at least a bit of a smile on your face. This one was the exact opposite.

Be warned, if you do watch it, you will not have a smile on your face at the end.

It is a Xmas movie, right? How the heck do they have an immoral, greedy real estate developer come out a huge winner? On top of that they put him (Mason) in a major scene with townspeople and it is all smiles. When they should have been running him out of town tarred and feathered.

How Mason became a 'winner' is nonsensical. It calls for signing a million dollar+ contract with a 'stranger' and without reading it.

Two weeks to renovate a run down Christmas Land and all we see is a single purchase of a few cans of paint. Voila, it is magically as great looking as in years gone by.

Did you know that a coffee can,not even a large one, cannot hold hundreds of thousands of dollars? Finally, our 'hero' attorney can not come up with a single creative approach to help nail greedy, immoral Mason.
