Too many fans seem to be blown away
disgusting, overrated, pointless
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
View Morewhat a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
View MoreThis movie was good. Nothing wrong with a good natured family film.I see many atheists are bum-hurt over the movie message about belief and miracles. What I have come to realize is atheists are the most intolerant folks on the planet. They especially hate Christians but some reason love Islam.This movie had a message of hope and has a family theme. It has the familiar TV characters and if you do not like a Christian family movie, avoid it. It's funny that atheists preach tolerance but if anyone dares oppose their view, their proverbial fangs and character fault shows.Good movie for what it is 7 out of 10. This movie shows the follies of non-believers and why hope is better than none.
View MoreAwful, simply awful. The atheist who returns to the town after 20 years, seems like an embittered and angry man, out on a personal vendetta against the heroic Christian mayor.The premise is that the mayor is building (and using some city funds) to build a stand outside of the town's city hall, for Christmas. There will be Christian decorations displayed along with more secular Christmas decorations. So this evil atheist type files an injunction to stop work on this stand.Now, atheists aren't the only people who support keeping government and religion untangled, many Christians (though usually not evangelical types) also favor that. Atheists aren't out on personal vendettas against some Christian mayor or politician when we do so. Also, the "Merry Christmas" banner is moved because of this injunction. Frankly, no atheist has ever objected to a "Merry Christmas" sign, even in front of a courthouse.In fact, I don't know if any church/state or atheist group would even object to this stand, unless it solely has Christian symbols. Atheists just want neutrality or at least, an open forum. Have Christian symbols such as a nativity scene, fine, but allow a display of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.The Christian mayor in one scene recites the free exercise clause of religion, which for some reason makes this evil atheist type, say touché. That seems to imply the atheist knows he is violating the free exercise rights of the residents, but there is of course no free exercise right to have the government put up a display, even if not centered around Christian images solely.This movie was produced by people who seem to have never met an actual atheist in their lives. Full of fear and straw man. If I could give a negative star, I would.
View MoreFinally a "safe" movie that all ages can enjoy including preschoolers without rude, disrespectful or unattractive behaviors displayed. Beautiful scenes of Alaska. Nice small town dilemma where the real meaning of Christmas is debated and resolved. Did not find it offensive but if you are die hard anti-religion (especially Christianity) in the public realm, you may find it may open your mind. If you are a Christian or sympathetic to the spirit of Christmas, you should find it enjoyable. Nice brotherhood, father/son, and mother/daughter relationships developed. Overall, believable acting and story. Enjoyable film.
View MoreThe message of 'Christmas with a Capital C' was timely and important. Where many Christmas movies are heartwarming, this program presented definable ways to deal with those who call Christians simple, narrow-minded, and ignorant but who themselves are mean-spirited, arrogant and intolerant. I thought using the example of how Christ treated others as a guide for these townspeople really embodied the spirit of Christmas. Acting was solid in the leads a little weak in the supporting players. Daniel Baldwin was great in his role. I'm sorry to say, I know people just like him.On the whole, I thought this was one of the better movies this season.
