Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This is absolutely my favorite Christmas movie. The film can be hard to find but for the past few years CMT has thankfully played it several times each December. It has everything a movie should have: preposterous wigs, shotguns galore, a gang of multi-cultural orphans, a mountain man, an evil witch, and a whole lotta Dolly Parton with a guitar. Plus its directed by the Fonz! Think snow white meets coal miners daughter and throw in some good old fashioned Christmas spirit. Cinematic gold! The movie is heavily sprinkled with clichés, but in a fun and stylish way. If you're looking for character development or high drama, look elsewhere. If, on the other hand, you're looking for John Ritter to say with a heavy drawl "thats real Christmasy of you" look no further.

This is a great Christmas movie with Dolly Parton playing a country musician going to the mountains at Christmas. It features her spending Christmas with orphaned kids and the true meaning of Christmas, hand made gifts, songs, and Christmas blessings. If you are in to the old fashioned Christmas movies, this is one you will love. I have been looking to purchase this movie to add to my collection. I found it on ebay, amazon, and jeengles .com. I also found that CMT plays this movie during the Christmas Season. Definitely a "Must See Movie" and worth researching!!! I Would Rate this a 10 and an excellent movie for all ages!!!

Basically, this movie changed my life. I can't think of Christmas without thinking of this amazing film. The music - incredible. The message - even better. If you have a heart, I guarantee you will LOVE this film. It is a shame so few people have heard of the best Christmas movie bestowed upon mankind. I remember watching this movie every Christmas of my youth. I think about it often, but it is so hard to find this film since few people know about it. My best friend got her hand on the DVD. When I received it, well, it was one of the best moments of my life. I cannot express how touching this film is. For those of us who have seen this movie, we need to be doing our best to let others know of this wondrous Christmas epic. Let's do our part to bring this film to every household in Ameica. Everyone needs to take part of that magic that is "Smokey Mountain Christmas."

I saw this movie and it is a great movie. Dolly plays wonderful with the kids. Dan the mountain man keeps watchful eye on the kids. If anyone is interested in buying this movie Amazon sells it on VHS but it is out of stock
