Mr. Christmas

So, I like Christmas movies, I used to visit Eureka Springs as a kid in the 70s and early 80s, and I like movies set in the past. This I didn't care for, and I really wanted to.

You needn't view this fine family film at Christmas time to enjoy it. Its message transcends the seasons and speaks to the goodness people demonstrate, and the gift of the family arrangement God gave to us.

Finally, this is a family story that all ages can enjoy. The characters are easy to identify with and the costuming and setting seem authentic for that era.

Mr Christmas is a reminder of growing up in a less harried time. It offers its viewers a portrait of family life that is to be valued.

I love Christmas movies of all kinds, and this looks like it should be a winner; but the dialog is so stilted, and the acting, directing, and editing are so bad that it's really disappointing. Despite having all the requisite ingredients, it is very very poorly done.

Beth Brickell has created a wonderful film based on her own childhood experiences. Less than an hour in length, this heart-felt story manages to pack quite a punch.

If you purchase any movie to watch during the holiday season, get this one. It's only 56 minutes long, yet it is a story that will be in your mind forever.

Wonderful little film with likable characters, especially the two little girls. Sure to be a Christmas favorite for children and adults alike.
