I really disliked the first hour or so. It try's really hard to duplicate the "Christmas Story" vibe but fails repeatedly to evoke any positive nostalgia. Also fails at humor. Everything seems very contrived and lacks any real emotion. I expect the "bad" kids to be a little over the top bad, but they should have some substance behind them. Everybody is two dimensional.
Then we get into the putting together the pageant and plenty of holes in the plot here too. But when we get to the retelling of the Christmas story I must confess that my heartstrings were pulled. There was a meaningful Christmas message that evolved from a pretty drawn out schmaltzy production. If I had turned it off after half an hour as I was tempted to do it would have gotten a 2. The last part brought it up to 7.
