Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
milesjenkins Do to a limited budget the special effects in this film are "Terrible" which spoils the overall film however the story does deliver. What this is about is that a woman (Nicole de Boer) discovers the spirit of Christmas while visiting her estranged father in a town that is decked out for the holidays.While in town her son discovers the town secret and try's to convince his mom that "All is Not What It Seems".Now the last shot in this film is laughable. It looks like they spent $5 on a fake Santa Sleigh but the film is still one of those you will enjoy watching with your small children.Now many people hate this film but I think they just "Hate Christmas Movies".
Meaghan Edwards On my first viewing of Christmas Town a number of years ago, on the wee hours of Christmas, I wasn't that impressed. You can laugh, but I found my snoozing pet rat at the time more interesting. However, the second time around, the movie warmed to me. It's a simple story line; workaholic mother and her son go on a trip to visit her grandfather during the holiday season, who happens to live in a very Christmas-sy town. There's Christmassy themed bistros, announcements over the radio about reindeer births, you name it, it's happening there. The movie isn't a high budget shiny production, but it's a cute romp worth a look or two.
Rob-o Christmas Town is a movie about a Christmas town. The town is all about Christmas. There are people who love Christmas in this town. But what the casual viewer doesn't realize is that the entire town looks a giant parking lot outside of a walmart with buildings that were built with garbage. The people who live in Christmas town must have all kinds of diseases and infections because of the structure of the entire town being made of garbage. All in all, the woman in Christmas town discovered the meaning of Christmas, found love with a strange guy, and repaired her relationship with her father after defeating him in hand-to-hand combat. I missed some of the movie because I was busy throwing up. Ho ho ho!
adm38-242-665960 I have had a crush on Nicole De Boer since her Days on Star Trek, but I couldn't help but feel terrible pity for her while watching this terribly cast, and cheaply produced made for VHS movie. As romantic lead, Muldoon's lifeless acting could have been a satire of Keeneu Reeves at his worst. (spoiler: his wig upstages him in every scene.)The child actor's pretended innocence is so projected you wonder if they ever delayed their shooting sequence to clean him up and escort hookers out of his trailer. The nice thing is that they spared all expenses in showing how they spared all expenses. Whether it was extensive use of B-Roll and blue screen effects, or cleverly filling time with voice over to fill time, there was no expense... literally no expense.So if you long for an hour and a half of looking at Nicole's pretty mole without the interference of plot line or genuine discovery; Or if you love to be challenged to sit through the worst movies ever produced, this should be on your hot list for the holidays. On thing I have to admit, the movie did inspire me. Within minutes of clicking in to the movie in progress, I realized it was a bad movie. It was however so bad I was compelled to continue watching, hoping for a redeeming moment, or watching for evidence of intelligent life, like the old alkaseltzer commercial... I couldn't believe I watched the whole thing. And then I had to find some mountain top from which to announce the advent of the worst Christmas movie ever... Which this is not. This is just the worst Christmas movie I've seen in years. I would however consider it a candidate weapon in psychological warfare. I'm sure they could have removed Quaddafi from office twice as quickly if they had just pumped this movie in to all the TV sets in his mansions... Of course he would have still ended up dead. Only it would have been at his own hands.Final bit of advice, this movie should only be shown to children who are exceptionally smart. Being exceptionally smart can cause alienation and social anxiety among their peers, and this movie will certainly serve to enhance superficial thinking, and it may effectively reduce your child's IQ. Of course, repeat viewing may cause significant cognitive damage. But hey, Nicole De Boer!
