Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Debzreview I wish I liked this movie because I really Luke MacFarlane but this story line was a bit ridiculous. The new owner of Christmas Land is supposed to be an educated business woman but she believes everything her boyfriend tells her then signs a contract that she didn't read and asked the new owner to pretty please not make any changes. What? Then the town has to come together to bail her out of a mess that she caused and after she lied to them. The ending what awful as the bad guy was the winner and the town lost their life savings. Not watchable.

Jack Vasen I couldn't get over the basic cause of the conflict. Jules was so stupid that I couldn't take it. And the results were just as unbelievable. I couldn't get past it to enjoy the rest of the movie. Take that away and I would probably give it a 7.Otherwise it had the elements you need in a Christmas movie.The leads in the movie did a nice job and seemed to have some chemistry.

MiamiReviewer Actually a charming movie with good actors, decent chemistry and enough filled to make the first three quarters fairly entertaining. Then, as others have said, the ending is enough to make your blood boil.The evil real estate mogul manipulates the lead and flips the property back to her a day late for a $1.3 million profit. And everyone is singing merry Christmas and thanking him for being so kind and generous to sell it back. Are you kidding me? Also agree with others that the lead was frustratingly stupid for signing over the property without reading it, given that she was supposed to be so savvy. And agree that she would have been able to sue the pants off her boyfriend/attorney for malpractice, because he clearly violated her client privilege by colluding with the seller to mislead her into thinking he would keep the property as is. Or because he conveyed to her that the contract would keep the property as is, an he clearly knew the opposite.The ending of this movie is like if scrooge didn't learn the meaning of Christmas but instead sold tiny Tim a crutch for $150 and then let Tiny Tim sit on his lap and help count the gold coins at the end.

Carycomic Because Tucker's "nice-play-to-visit-but-don't-wanna-live-there" attitude _most definitely_ makes him anti-big city/pro-small town. Which, in turn, is not an entirely good thing. As it's basically just a latter-day version of the exact same isolationism that was so unfortunately predominant throughout the United States during the Great Depression. Thereby making Tucker's naivete as proportionately unhealthy as Jules' initial, materialistic skepticism."Central Park is nature, now?" For youngsters born and raised in NYC who can't afford to get bused off to some rural nature preserve for just one day: frig, yeah! It's as close to nature as they're ever going to get. Especially, if those same kids don't come from the fortunate few families who have _successfully_ raised fruits and vegetables in urban community gardens no bigger than one square acre! And for those latter acts of "going green," such city-slickers should be praised. Not begrudged!I, myself, come from a not-so-small town in Northwest Connecticut. Population: over forty thousand! Yet, while that admittedly disqualifies us from ever being a tri-state metropolis like the Big Apple, neither are we (in the immortal words of FOOTLOOSE's Christopher Penn) "stuck in Leave-It-To-Beaverland." In short; you don't have to spend your _whole life_ in an actual small town to have small town values.A legitimate point more successfully demonstrated by the 2005 Hallmark Xmas movie, SILVER BELLS.
