SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

huggibear I gave this 7 stars because I liked it better than the typical Hallmark Channel movies. It was different and very likable. The plot was charming. The sisters were charming, even if they couldn't get along. The men were charming as well, including the older one. This movie warmed my heart and kept me interested. At first, I thought it was going to be lame, but it got much better. It's worth a viewing! It might be one of my faves because of the home and relationship improvements.

Christmas-Reviewer Its hard to screw up a movie when the template is "Little Women" but they sure do come close. Its is a modern adaption and I can see the reasoning for doing this. It has been done several by theatrical films (Clueless was an adaption of Emma) however this TV-movie fails on several fronts. In this film all these "Little Women" are in their 20's and still live at home. In this adaption all of the "March Women" go bonkers when "Mom Decides to sell the family home". What was strange was the script has them still acting with the maturity of JR HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS instead of 20 something women.This production should have had Joe a lesbian and her editor a woman. If you never read "Little Women" shame on you. If you have then you will see how this movie fails. If you never read or seen "Little Women" then chances are you might like this. Plus chances are you also love "The Kardashians"

morgietrue If you grew up a fan of Little Women, if you always felt like you should be apart of the March Family then you were probably excited when you caught wind of this modernized retelling of Louisa May Alcott's classic coming of age tale. Well sorry to disappoint but despite the potential a modernized Little Women might promise, The March Sisters at Christmas did not deliver. In place of the transcendentalist principles practiced by the humble little Marches who practiced temperance, and acts of charity in the original tale, the Marches in this modern retelling are portrayed as selfish, slutty young women who party a little too hard partially in the case of Amy. I can't say which I was more disappointed with the fact that this new skankified Amy March posted naked pictures of herself on Jo's twitter feed to parallel the treacherous burning of Jo's manuscript, or her exploited relationship with Teddy. Where the original tale illustrates Amy's loyalty to Jo when she resists Laurie/Teddy because she feels he still belongs to Jo, The March Sisters at Christmas represented her as a conniving little slut just waiting to pounce to so she might have vengeance on her sister. I will say we can probably all own up to the fact that growing Amy March was that one character who we all just wanted to choke but she was never meant to be the villain and as bratty as her behavior can be sometimes she was never portrayed as being quite so insufferable as this movie as made her out to be. I hate to sound like that annoying person who just compares movies to the book their based on and fusses over minute details, and I assure that's not the point I'm trying to get across here. I feel that this movie lost the essence of a family tied together in love, trying to change the world and make it a better place. The Marches are role models and at the same time characters young girls should be able to relate to. They lost that by making Amy so unlikable. Instead of being someone young girl's can relate to she became that girl the little slut who stole everyone's boyfriends in high school, that girl that everyone loved to hate. Despite her shortcomings Amy is is multidimensional and has a lot of good to her that I feel was just completely tossed aside.
