Poor boy. Mom has to drive a &60,000 Mercedes-Benz SUV. He lives in a $1 million home. But Mom is too busy to get him a haircut and, as a result, he has a serious discipline problem. Dad is a COOK (gasp, how low can you go?). Do you know how that makes the millions of people who cook for a living feel? This is the kind of crap Hollywood has churned out to insult and humiliate "middle America". No wonder that hate us in Kansas.

BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.In this film: A woman (Nicole de Boer) Disillusioned Liza McCann and her son travel to Hollyville to visit her estranged father. The town's profuse decorations and intense Yuletide spirit exasperate Liza, who has hated the holidays ever since she was a little girl. But a series of magic and inexplicable events force Liza to rethink everything she thought was true. This is a film you will love or hate. If you like Christmas movies then you will love this. If you are a "Scrooge" . "Grinch" or a "Mr. Potter" don't bother to watch. I like this film even though it has LOW BUDGET and the sets are cheap, If you look close you will see the same extras in one scene. There is a woman in a purple top carrying purse seen several times.What works wonders in this film is that it does capture (To Me) that great feeling you have when its Christmas Time. For me I love "The Christmas Season and Movies" as much as most men love Football Season. So a film like "Christmas Town" is perfect for me, Parents with small children should watch this with them. It will Create a great memory!

I didn't enjoy this movie at all. Mason is annoying. He's a bratty kid who refuses to listen to ANYTHING. The way they have him dressed in this movie is annoying as well. I constantly wanted to wash his hair and cut it and get rid of that stupid hat! And then the diner guy's voice just totally gets on my LAST nerve! Then I realize that this is the "older man" that took Kelly away from Zach, which now that's all I can see. And it doesn't help that the main character looks like Tiffany Amber in a way. She, too, is irritating. All she cares about is work. You see some humanity, and then she's back to the cell phone. She's too wishy-washy. I hate this movie just based on the actors alone, but the storyline is not much better. It's boring and moves terribly slow. I spent most of the time wanting to discipline the kid!

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!
