A lot of fun.
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Seen it now about 6 times, gets better every time ! Harry is a great actor ! Willie is very good . !
I will not make this long: See this brilliant movie! At parts it may seem silly, but the very profound parts will move you to tears. Willie Nelson is perfect in every way. He is so believable, but make sure you watch the very last scene! The one who steals this movie is Lyle Lovett! I am not sure a more beautiful smile has ever graced us. His haunting voice will leave shivers down your spine. There are a couple scenes towards the end that follow each other that are pure magic. It takes place while Lovett's gorgeous and haunting "Christmas Morning" is sung. A very likable movie that really grows on you. By the third watching, it will become a favorite! Watch it. And, grab the tissues!
Sentimental? Schmaltzy? Sure. It's a teen movie. We've all seen the story before. Adults may like the characters and the songs. And this Austin Tx movie is chock full of musicians. You mostly hear parts of songs. In the end, I wanted to look up some of them. The musical part has a quirky, organic feel. I'd be happy living in this town! (I wish there was a bonus track, of how the musicians and cast were chosen. Some of the artists are on youtube) I expected little when I rented it. It was Christmas, and the cast looked interesting. I was afraid it might be too churchy. I had no problem with the sentimentality. And the religious aspect was likely turned way down, from the book(?). Some will hate the movie, some will be filled with joy. We built a fire, poured some wine, and really enjoyed the movie! (my wife loves Christmas. I'm more of a Grinch! But I do like holiday lights...)
It's not often I find a well scripted movie these days. Most are badly written and try too hard to be "modern" or "edgy" in order to try to get laughs in the crudest way possible.Well this movie is a refreshing respite from that sort of thing.When I looked into seeing this movie it had a rating of 7.0 on IMDb. There was only one review and it was a good one.After watching it, I gave it an even higher rating than that because I was not expecting much.Boy was I surprised. What a pleasant Christmas story and what a cast of musicians! Very worth seeing especially this time of year.By the time I watched it, the rating had dropped below 5. No more reviews, just lots of 1 ratings to bring it down. This is what happens when you make a movie that shows what the majority of the country believes in. We get the far left haters who give it a 1 without ever watching it, just to bring the ratings down presumably because they hate Christianity.Well, don't fall for the low rating. It will probably go down more as more far left Christmas haters find out about it, but don't be deterred.I'm glad to say that good family movies are not gone. Hope we get more.
