Strong and Moving!

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Wow! Could the decorations on the trees get any uglier? My goodness, they went to pick out trees and they are fake! The palace has ugly fake trees too! Don't know what to say! What were they thinking? Still shocked! Thank goodness all the actors are handsome and the actresses are pretty.

Some bad films are fun to watch. Some bad films are facinating train wrecks. This bad film is simply bad. It is sappy, predictable, and low-budget. It is at least a good collection of nice-looking people. If given a choice between this and cleaning the gutters, I'd go with the gutters.

There is a basis for a good story, but there are too many holes in the plot, bad editing, bad casting, and no chemistry between the main characters.

I had to give up twenty five minutes into the movie due to choppy visual despite the color print more accurate than in some past Ion Christmas movies. Too many sharp cuts in the editing make the visual to me almost unwatchable and ditto with the soundtrack. Nothing in under the first half hour for me to even consider watching more on the first run. I recall once waiting for my movie to start in a New England multiplex when three people walked out of an auditorium after a showing of a film each demanding a refund. I somehow or other got this aura from less tha the first half hour of this film. Should anyone think the rest is an improvement perhaps I will consider watching the rest because I have not yet deleted the DVR recording.
