If you watch movie watch it with looking for the real meaning of what it is trying to tell you .. in life it is always so easy to condemn rather than praise Remember praise is a good thing I really enjoyed the movie because the actors seemed more real to me than some other actors Praise is a good thing the movie is trying to get a certain message learn from it I for one enjoyed Just finished watching completely WoW what an inspirational Movie Just finish movie if you aren't moved by it then something in missing in your life

I think doing a film about a homeless family was a great idea. How this family becomes homeless is just not very believable. In this film an advertising man "becomes a fall guy" at at work. He is lied too when they promise that after things cool down he will get his job back. Well he doesn't and he loses everything. Now that does sound promising but the film doesn't work. Everyone comes across as a stereo type. The writing isn't strong enough for you to root for any of the people. The "Happy Ending" of course is telegraphed long before it happens. If the person who wrote this writes anything else I hope they think more about story structure. I loved the general idea if this film I just hated the poorly done execution. Novel Attempt.

Young Matt Moore is an up and coming advertising executive who is living the American dream with wife Crystal DeWitt-Hinkle and their two kids. But it's all yanked out from under him and at Christmas time as well. He loses his job because he takes one for the team and his sacrifice of his job prevents his company from being subject to a lawsuit. He gets promised that his job will eventually be restored, but that turns out to be empty promises.I saw this happen a number of times especially after the World Trade Center disaster when the sole breadwinner was taken from the family. DeWitt-Hinkle has a teaching credentials, but it will take a few months to get her recertified and Moore winds up working in a fast food joint.This particular Christian film says that God will look after his own if you have a generous spirit. We see Moore and his family who've really got the spirit of Christmas give to some homeless people, to a collecting Santa Claus. Come tomorrow though and watch Christian television and that spirit will be translated into give to this particular nattily dressed reverend so he can enjoy a most opulent lifestyle doing God's work. Somehow I don't think God had that in mind.There were some worthwhile scenes that hit home for me. My favorite is DeWitt-Hinkle trying to get food stamps and dealing with the income levels needed for them. She can't feed her family, but they have too many assets like a van that is paid for free and clear. Sell the van so you can qualify to be fed. Last year I had a friend who sustained seizure disorders and had to take a pay cut from his fast food job in order to qualify for Medicaid. Hopefully Obamacare will remedy that.The family does become Homeless For The Holidays, but it all works out in the end. I've seen far worse Christian films, this is not a bad one from that genre.

This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I somehow ended up ordering this movie on the zune marketplace and boy do I regret it. The first scene of this movie has some kid talking about money and stockmarkets. This kid is basically a robot and the character has no appeal to young viewers. The acting is really bad. It seems like the acting in porn if they took out all the sex and dirty words. Why should I care about this Jack guy? He only cares about himself, you never see him spending time with his kids and he's always ignoring his wife. I was actually rooting against him, he's not a good guy. The check out scene? Really five minutes of BLAH BLAH BLAH with no point. How does this stuff get made? I have a feeling somebody bamboozled some good Christian people into investing in this movie. I am at the 44th minute of the movie and would not be able to live with myself if I wasted another minute of my time watching this. Anybody who says this movie has any sort of entertainment value is mentally ill.
