Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

paul vincent zecchino You needn't view this fine family film at Christmas time to enjoy it. Its message transcends the seasons and speaks to the goodness people demonstrate, and the gift of the family arrangement God gave to us.Set in the late Depression Era, the moral of the story is timeless and is clearly pertinent to our time.Merely for its costuming, settings, and appointments this upbuilding film deserves an award. If you grew up during the Fifties, you surely will recall many homes which looked as do the lovely homes in this film.Home decor is straight from the late thirties/forties and every bit of it is lovely. The 'floor mode' radio is quite authentic as are all the tobacco cannisters, green desk lamps, and the railway - everything.Saw this film a couple years ago on THIS TV, and thought well enough of it to purchase it for the collection.The father's devotion is demonstrated in the little things, making a sleigh for his kids, spending time with them.If you've a heart you'll surely find it warmed by this fine story.Paul Vincent Zecchino Manasota Key, Florida 26 December, 2012

bgwynnray I love Christmas movies of all kinds, and this looks like it should be a winner; but the dialog is so stilted, and the acting, directing, and editing are so bad that it's really disappointing. Despite having all the requisite ingredients, it is very very poorly done. The only saving grace is the costumes, which are wonderful, and very evocative of the period (the '40's). But everything else is so bad that it overshadows the one good thing.The plot might be fine in other hands, but in this production it is almost completely obliterated by poor directing, performances, and editing. I would love to at least LIKE this, but it was just really poorly done!

Margaret Cardwell Mr Christmas is a reminder of growing up in a less harried time. It offers its viewers a portrait of family life that is to be valued. The level of accuracy in portraying the time period with costume details & settings adds to the enjoyment. The cast, especially the girls, makes the story far more believable.It can be enjoyed by the whole family as an addition to other Christmas classics. It brings to life an area and a time period that some of us enjoyed and remember.As a former librarian I hope it receives a wide circulation. I am looking forward to viewing it again during the season.

AHillsmith Finally, this is a family story that all ages can enjoy. The characters are easy to identify with and the costuming and setting seem authentic for that era.The story leaves you with a warm feeling and a desire to help others who are having a difficult time.The story is very believable because of the events that occurred during the early 40's. In the depression Christmas gifts were very scarce and hard to come by.I gave five copies as Christmas gifts last year and the recipients all seemed to enjoy the story.
