Review by David H. Page for The Christmas Clause
Rating:
Please …do not waste your money …vulgar, bad acting and truly inapproriate for anyone under 18…very very disappointing. Family approved? Great actors gone bad
Review by Charles H. Thompson III for The Christmas Clause
Rating:
This movie has a very good story line about being content with the life you have instead of wishing you had someone else’s life. The one thing I want to mention is that the cover says, “Family Approved” and it really is not. The movie takes God’s name in vain several times, characters say ass and hell, the main woman wears revealing clevage and short skirts, and there is a scene where a man in a towel is coming onto the main character to have sex with her. I am disappointed in the “Family Approved” seal that I have come to trust in choosing movies.

I hate to pile on, but The Christmas Clause certainly was a disappointment. The whole “It’s a Wonderful Life” is just boring and cliche. It’s become the theme of hundreds of other Christmas movies. Frankly, I think audiences are becoming sick of it. It’s fine to preach that people should appreciate their lives, but adult life is more complex than shown in these films. The Christmas Clause tries too hard to preach the virtues of family life, but instead comes across as unoriginal. Part of the problem is that the acting is lousy. Lea Thompson sounds like she’s repeating her lines rather than engaged in emotional dialogue. I just couldn’t get excited about it or the story – especially when there are so many other great Christmas movies to watch, like It’s a Wonderful Life.
Review by Derek Dennis Duford for The Christmas Clause
Rating:
This movie is terrible! The final message is nice, but getting there is painful! Poor acting and attempt at special effects was really bad. Content for small kids is not appropriate. Don’t waste your time.
Review by J. Arena for The Christmas Clause
Rating:
This movie is a rehash of every other tacky Christmas movie that you’ve ever seen, cranked out in time for holiday audiences to spend money on. See it on cable if you must, but save your money for the tons of wonderful, uplifting and entertaining films with decent acting.
If you like this theme of holiday dreams coming true with valuable lessons learned, I’d highly recommend Holiday Switch, also available on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Holiday-Switch-Bret-Anthony/dp/B003X2P98K/ref=cm_pdp_rev_itm_title_2
