ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

albertosmom1991 The Night they saved Christmas is very good for a child imagination about where Santa Clause lives and works; it is especially great for those of us {who are young} who still believes.. very good background sets at the North Pole; i did not like the part about the oil fields , but all in all the children in my home truly loved this movie ' ,and the network should play this one and others like it at Christmas time for all the children and adults that are young at heart to enjoy ;what ever happened to the Christmas movies that where around in the 1960's and 1970's when Christmas was important not just to kids but to everyone not like these times when everything about Christmas is about money and sports on Christmas day and not about loved ones and family togetherness;; thank you

nancymcman I love watching Christmas movies. This one is the first one I look for each holiday season. I have watched it each year since it first aired on TV. This is the kind of movie you watch to help get that holiday spirit inside you started. This and others like it, are movies you want to sit down and watch after you have had long day of shopping and want to relax with a cup of hot chocolate and poporn or even fresh baked cookies. The whole family can enjoy this together! Yes there is a lot of unrealistic things in it but then it is a movie and it is for entertainment. North Pole City is just breathtaking. The cast that was selected for this movie did a wonderful job! I too think that is probably the best part I have seen Jaclyn Smith play. Art Carney and June Lockhart were great as Santa and Mrs Clause. It is not a block buster of a movie but if you want to watch something that gives you a good feeling down inside and makes you come away feeling good this is the one for you. Please put it on DVD!

LUTZFAMILY5 This is my favorite Christmas movie, every year I look threw all the listings to find what time it is on! I want to find it on before Christmas, it always seems to be on Christmas day or the day after. Watching this movie always makes me feel so good! They have Great actors in it and they all fit perfectly together! I really feel as if they are at Santa's house, I love the outfits they wear to keep feeling the same temperature always! It makes you believe in Santa all over again! Hot chocolate never looked so good! My children and I have been watching this movie for years, and it always brings a smile to our faces when we walk away from the television.

bbrasher1 THE NIGHT THEY SAVED CHRISTMAS has to be one of the most annoying movies ever-(made-for TV or otherwise). The storyline is really insipid, the performances-with all due respect to Art Carney-are unbelievably bad.A real good-for-nothing holiday non-classic. MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATRE 3000 can't even salvage this one.Rating: 1/4 * out of *****
