... View MoreYes I know excellent is a perfect score, but it is heartfelt and I just watched the film. I see that it was made in 2013 yet I had never seen it. I thought I had seen just about every Christmas Movie. It was modern and heartwarming. The movie is great for a family to watch together, no vulgarity, just a little stinginess which is humans all over the world. The story was well written, I can usually figure out the the plots but this one was so well written it through a few surprises my way. The actors and actresses were perfect for the flick, which goes to prove you don't have to be a headlining star to make a film a hit. So kudos's to the cast, crew and writers. Thank you to the creators for the film. I loved it Holly B. Roberts
... View MoreIt's been a long time since there was a new Christmas movie that a family could watch year after year - this is one of those.Each year at Christmas time I pull out the movies that I've accumulated throughout the years. To me they are the classics. I am adding A Christmas Tree Miracle to this collection. I'll be watching it every year.A Christmas Tree Miracle is a movie to remind people how blessed they really are. This movie is about family. It is about looking beyond the material gifts that we are programmed to expect to receive. It makes you look into your heart, to appreciate the gifts that are there year round, family and friends. It helps to teach a lesson that many have forgotten - that Christmas is about giving, not receiving.It might be termed pure schmaltz by some but to me it truly shows what people and Christmas are all about.Take the time to watch it yourself .......
... View MoreThis 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!
... View MoreOK, firstly, it's obvious I could be perceived as biased, considering I'm in the film. But I'm also one of those "film" people; I wouldn't b.s. a product just to push myself. That being said, this movie does have it's mild, rather unnoticeable to the untrained eye, low budget flaws, but it is EVERYTHING A HOLIDAY FILM SHOULD BE!A Christmas Tree Miracle covers a lot of very real issues many of us face in the world today, that we may never really pay much attention to. From young love & ignorant apathy, to living beyond one's means, being ungrateful for your blessings, and true loss... It wraps it all up in a clear, simple, yet beautiful story that reminds viewers what the holiday season, and life in general, is truly about. It's only downfalls are with overall production: the extensive post production voice-overs take a little away from the performances at times, otherwise the acting is quite strong throughout. And the lighting & editing seem to lack well versed finish. That is why I, someone who is in the film, deducted 2 stars from it's total: I give it an 8/10. Regardless, the story, the feeling, still shines through like the lights on our trees.A Christmas Tree Miracle very well make any viewer tear up, at very least you will get some of those feel-good goosebumps while watching it. And I bet that if given the right push, watching it could become a holiday tradition for millions, year after miraculous year.
