The greatest movie ever made..!

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

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

BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.In this film: A woman (Nicole de Boer) Disillusioned Liza McCann and her son travel to Hollyville to visit her estranged father. The town's profuse decorations and intense Yuletide spirit exasperate Liza, who has hated the holidays ever since she was a little girl. But a series of magic and inexplicable events force Liza to rethink everything she thought was true. This is a film you will love or hate. If you like Christmas movies then you will love this. If you are a "Scrooge" . "Grinch" or a "Mr. Potter" don't bother to watch. I like this film even though it has LOW BUDGET and the sets are cheap, If you look close you will see the same extras in one scene. There is a woman in a purple top carrying purse seen several times.What works wonders in this film is that it does capture (To Me) that great feeling you have when its Christmas Time. For me I love "The Christmas Season and Movies" as much as most men love Football Season. So a film like "Christmas Town" is perfect for me, Parents with small children should watch this with them. It will Create a great memory!

I didn't enjoy this movie at all. Mason is annoying. He's a bratty kid who refuses to listen to ANYTHING. The way they have him dressed in this movie is annoying as well. I constantly wanted to wash his hair and cut it and get rid of that stupid hat! And then the diner guy's voice just totally gets on my LAST nerve! Then I realize that this is the "older man" that took Kelly away from Zach, which now that's all I can see. And it doesn't help that the main character looks like Tiffany Amber in a way. She, too, is irritating. All she cares about is work. You see some humanity, and then she's back to the cell phone. She's too wishy-washy. I hate this movie just based on the actors alone, but the storyline is not much better. It's boring and moves terribly slow. I spent most of the time wanting to discipline the kid!

As I've stated in other reviews, Nicole de Boer is probably my most favorite actress ever--and this films helps show why. She is at the top of her game here, in her portrayal of a workaholic mother who feels forced to reconcile with her estranged father (also played by an excellent actor). In addition, this film has Patrick Mulhoon in a supporting role as a diner owner who takes a liking to the heroine.Like most Christmas films, "Christmas Town" has a rather simple storyline--involving the heroine's struggle to come to terms with her lack of Christmas spirit. Still, I feel it has a great deal of heart-- due in no small part to the lovable innocence Miss de Boer brings to the role. It would be so easy to play the character as a bitter "female Scrooge" type--frankly, I think most actresses would have done exactly that. Thank heaven, Miss de Boer refuses to go that route, playing Liz McCann more along the lines of "It's A Wonderful Life's" George Bailey. (I admit...this hasn't been the first time I've compared Nicole de Boer to Jimmy Stewart....)And so, the character of Liz McCann is extremely likable...and is really fleshed out in the scene when her father sadly reflects on past Christmases with her late mother. That scene is beautifully acted by Miss de Boer--well, by both actors, really...but Nicole really established a lot about her character through how she handles everything in that sequence. Driven to near tears, Liz unconsciously hugs the tree angel like a little girl--and ducks into the other room, to be alone. Nicole is giving us the impression of a woman who, on the inside, never truly grew up...and we see that little girl within her, struggling to come to terms with herself.Frankly, I can't help but watch her journey through the film and see something of a Christian allegory--she notes that she prefers not to "believe" in or have "faith" in anything...and Mulhoon's character helps her see that all that leads to is a life without any joy, or fulfillment. Of course, it could be argued that most Christmas films that deal with "Christmas spirit" are similarly allegorical....Perhaps my only real complaint with the film is the often irritating antics of the son. Be prepared for some annoyance, from that circle. Still, the films actually makes sure to channel this into understandable frustration for poor Liz--she shares the amused irritation with us.Also. the humor often borders on the absurd--but to her significant credit, Miss de Boer similarly manages to balance that with her constantly bewildered reactions to the madness. This signals to us to sit back and enjoy--we're SUPPOSED to react this way. In effect, we are taking the journey of acceptance along with her.Overall, I love this film, and highly recommend it.

I didn't get a chance to watch the whole movie but from what I saw was good. What I wanted to say is where I live, there is a lake in our town called Allouette Lake that everyone knows about and has been too. When i was on my way down to the boat launch at the beginning of the summer this year, we were stopped due to a movie being filmed. When we asked the traffic control officer what was going on they told us they are shooting a Christmas movie and there is a reindeer up in the bushes. So, at the point in the movie when they are in the car driving down the road and eventually stop because the kid see's something in the bush, that is the Allouette Lake boat launch. About a 2 minute walk from where they stop on either side are just a bunch of people from my town waiting to either launch their boat or pick one up!
