A Christmas Tree Miracle (2013)

This movie is truly one of the worst Christmas movies I've seen in a long time. Now, the story is okay and the message is good, BUT the acting (if you can call it that) and production value is very poor. Except for the little girl, none of the characters are likeable and their actions are foolish and inexcusable. The tree farm owner is so creepy and has a weird fascination/bond with the little girl. It's weird and disconcerting all at the same time. Just skip this movie and turn on Hallmark. They're movies are WAY better in comparison!

Many Christmas films are totally forgettable but this one stands out like a brilliant beacon in the winter night sky. I thoroughly enjoyed the warmth and sincerity of this film which emphasises in a gentle way the things that truly matter in life. It avoids the Christmas clichés of materialism, snowy scenes and 'Ho Ho Ho' Santa's. The cello-playing little girl was enchanting and her scenes with the old man added to the appeal of the film. After watching this film today I thought a lot about my relationships with my family and friends - something which I usually take for granted.A family film that I can thoroughly recommend and one which can be enjoyed at any time of the year. Well done to all involved.

This is an excellent family film! The heartwarming story catches your interest immediately as this family who has everything begins to lose what they THINK is important. They are forced to look at each other with new eyes and new surroundings, and in the process are blessed with a love and spirit of giving that out-weighs all that they lost! The acting is superb! Kevin Sizemore's portrayal of David George is wonderful, as is the performance of Claudia Esposito, who plays his wife. This couple tries desperately to hold things together as their life falls apart and I feel their pain. The family's teen-age children are such typical self-involved teens. Barrett Carnahan, who plays Nick is a handsome, extraordinary actor with a bright future, for sure. Beautiful Emily Capehart (Natalie) added an endearing humor to the film. Seasoned actor, Terry Kiser, gives an excellent performance as the man who opens this family's eyes to the true spirit of giving. What a great actor! This is a beautiful story, written in such a superb way that has you laughing, then crying, then cheering the family on. It's a story that all families would enjoy and be blessed by. The perfect Christmas movie!

Every year it seems like there are a ton of new holiday movies. I really just would like to keep tabs on the few that I watch every year and that be the end of it! Having said that, this movie was given to our family as a gift for Christmas and the family who gave it to us in town, they wanted to WATCH IT WITH US! WHAT? So, we planned a night and we started watching "another" Christmas movie, because that's what you do during the holidays. Withing about 15 min I noticed there wasn't any talking and everyone (all 15 of us from 8 years to 72) were silent and hanging on every word said. Very quickly I and my entire family realized, that this is a movie you HAVE TO SEE EVERY HOLIDAY SEASON! The message it gave to viewers was fantastic and will reminded you every year to start your new year off on a good foot! No....it's not your typical Christmas movie...it is so much more. Hope everyone else enjoys "A Christmas Tree Miracle" as much as my family did.
