GamerTab That was an excellent one.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
frukuk A decent enough film but, being of a non-religious persuasion, I found it saccharine and unbelievable.(Possible minor spoilers below.)One of the most unbelievable things was the extreme self-sacrifice of not-at-all-doubting Thomas. He didn't seem to struggle at all to be selfless.There's a scene -- and I'm consciously trying to avoid spoilers here -- where a doctor is asked what someone can do about a medical problem; I was half expecting the doctor to reply: "Pray!"On a minor note, the coincidence of a physically abusive husband and the belief in a "guiding hand", was a little sickening.
Christmas-Reviewer Paper Angels – Two unlikely friends have a big impact on their families for Christmas through The Salvation Army's Angel Tree Program. Stars Matthew Settle and Josie Bissett.The "Christmas Theme" film is different in many wonderful ways. You think you know where the story is heading but it does something different "WHICH IS GREAT". Now this film at times might make you frustrated but the film takes you on a "Christmas Movie Journey that you will find unforgettable. The plot in this film is not predictable as you might think. The film leaves a few things "Open for your own interpretation" which is a "Christmas Miracle".Now beware of some peoples reviews on Christmas Moves. Many people only review ONE movie and give it a rave because "They have something to do with the film". I have seen this countless times. I have reviewed over 100. I am honest about them.
phd_travel This is a more serious Christmas movie with good actors. The two intertwining stories are realistic and interesting. Matthew Settle of Gossip Girl plays a financially struggling business owner with twins on the way. Josie Bissett plays an abused wife who takes her kids to settle down in the same town where they face money troubles. She is quite good in less glamorous roles than usual. Her son faces some bullying. Liked the way he overcame his troubles. The stories intertwine cleverly. The message isn't too preachy it's about charity - the Paper Angels in the title.A change from the more trite romantic Christmas movies out there. This one has a message and a watchable cast.
MattyGibbs Paper Angels follows two families who are both struggling. A family who have fled their home thanks to an alcoholic husband/father and a young couple struggling for money whilst awaiting the birth of their first children. Whilst there is nothing here that elevates this above the ordinary it is still a heartwarming story. The plot is as predictable as most Christmas movies. There are some decent performances especially from Matthew Settle, Rustin Gresiuk and Josie Bissett. Yes you can say it's a bit too sickly sweet but it does exactly what its supposed too. Its downfall is that in a crowded marketplace these type of films really need something a bit different to live in the memory for longer than a few minutes. On that count this one maybe falls a bit flat. This is a decent if undemanding Christmas TV movie that fans of the genre should enjoy.
