Overly religious
dvnprt25 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I thought the religious aspect got a little hokey because they overplayed it. Them wanting him to go out on tour in Stockholm 2 days before Christmas was BS big bands don't go out two days before Christmas and they don't go out in a foreign country two days before Christmas. And somebody do something about that girl's eyebrows they're so huge it's the only thing you can see. I'd like to see more about the music aspect where they can actually sing or if there any good. The girls evidently not extremely bright she'd at least been working as a waitress so she could pay her rent instead of getting evicted. Most actors have a real job before they can get discovered or start acting unless they start at 6 months old.

Mood killer!

The Gift Of Christmas (2020) -

It felt quite cheaply made, with little direction and a lot of the incidental songs were very Godly.

Why are the religious ones always so depressing?

And that's as much as I wrote in my notes before I had to give up on it.

There was no cheer to it whatsoever and even the filter on the camera was a grey moody, miserable one. I really couldn't see this film lifting my spirits in any way and I wasn't prepared to hear a sermon for an hour and a half about why God was so good and he tests us to make us stronger, by killing our loved ones and denying us work and so on.

Unscored as unfinished.

Not a good movie
nyah-073229 January 2024
Dee Wallace and Bruce Davison are "seasoned" actors, both have been actor in various movies and shows for awhile. Unfortunately, their acting in this movie was really not good. It was amazing how they both appeared to be really not convincing in this movie with their roles. Also, the young woman and the man who played the father maybe new to Hollywood as their skills also need to be more believable. Lately, the new Christmas movies lack talent, decent storylines, good actors and actresses and scripts that makes sense. Here's a question with regards to African Americans in some of these Christmas movies, why is there always only one in the midst of a bunch of white people?

great movie!
minunimion9 September 2022
I loved it, it's a really nice movie, well done, good acting. I've never been bored by watching it. I think that the low score means that people don't like when someone talk about Lord. These people are so blind that don't understand that a day they will be judged for their deeds and there's no chance that they won't pay the consequences. It's time to open our eyes, it's time to think about spiritual things instead of material ones. The level of awareness is rising up and staying at a low level will bring us suffering and pain and I'm not talking about physical pain. Anyway everyone is responsible for their lives and all of us have to pay the right price.

This movie is able to teach us something and I'm not going to say what, if you are able to understand, good for you, if you don't, amen.

This is the TRUTH of Christmas
hilarymccullough1 October 2022
I thought this would be just another Christmas movie but I was so pleasantly surprised by the quality of acting and the story line .... It's all about Jesus, His teaching of love, forgiveness, acceptance, patience and HOPE are all evident in this heartwarming movie ...... Jesus sacrificed His life for you and me offering us the most wonderful Christmas gift we can ever receive at any time. JESUS was born at Christmas and died on a cross just over 30 years later at Easter... offering us eternal life for those who believe in Him. This film offers us a story of hope. True hope can only be found in a personal relationship with Jesus. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour we find EVERLASTING HOPE in eternity with Him. Where do you want to spend eternity ? Jesus is waiting to hear from you .... just ask Him : ) He is right there and waiting to hear from YOU!
