Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I WATCH EACH ONE WITH AN OPEN MIND. Last night I could not sleep. So I put on this film and I was delighted that I did! What I watched was this film called "Fir Crazy" and it is available on DVD on Amazon but on Amazon the film is re-titled "Oh Christmas Tree". In this film A Busy career woman Elise MacReynolds (Sarah Lancaster) has no time or desire to take part in Christmas festivities. However, a few twists of fate land Elise in the middle of her worst nightmare: unemployed, newly single, and running her family's Christmas tree lot for the dreaded holiday season. As the de facto representative of her family's business, Elise must navigate a contentious relationship with the lot's new landlord, Gary Dixon (Colin Mochrie), who thinks the MacReynolds' lot is hurting his business and wants them gone...fast. But, things are looking a little brighter as the newly single Elise has a budding relationship with Darren (Eric Johnson), one of her customers. The film is a typical "Holiday" film from Hallmark and that is fine by me. If you are looking for a "Family Safe" film then you won't go wrong here! Boys will be bored but the film works. When the film was over I was smiling.

Last year, Hallmark presented a new Christmas movie with a father selling Christmas trees on a NYC sidewalk...and he had a disgruntled son that ran away. I don't think that movie could have been made any worse! Watching it once was more than enough!...........With that awful movie and the increasing numbers of awful Christmas movies Hallmark has been presenting between last year and this year, (2014) "Fir Crazy" surfaced to be at least "likeable.".......It did not have anything enticing or special or magical. But with its 2 "Bah, humbug" characters, it remained focused on Christmas with a nice plot that flowed.....None of the players were annoying.......No blaring, annoying "background" music and/or singing to overwhelm the players' dialogue (as Hallmark Christmas movies are notorious for having). And I have watched this movie several times.

Elise (Sarah Lancaster) grew up with her family's business of selling Christmas trees. So now she's anti-Christmas. Not sure I understand that part of the plot. My dad was a carpenter and I don't hate hammers. Anyway, when Elise's father breaks his foot, she agrees to help out with the business. She's not a happy camper already because she lost her job and was dumped by her boyfriend. So now she has to do her least favorite thing in the world and a struggle with a grinchy CEO out to get rid of her family's Christmas tree lot doesn't help matters. At least she meets a cute guy (Eric Johnson). Soon she's feeling the holiday spirit in spite of herself.Sarah Lancaster is very pretty and charming. Her smile lights up the screen. She does a lot for the part, which isn't written as very likable in the earliest scenes of the movie. Derek McGrath and Lynne Griffin are her perfect parents. Greg Calderone is the likable cousin that helps her run the lot. It was nice to see Eric Johnson. I remember him from the first season of Smallville way back when. He's got a good chemistry with Sarah. Their first date was pretty cute. Colin Mochrie is great as the Scrooge-like villain who isn't as bad as he seems. This is an upbeat and surprisingly funny TV movie. There are many other likable characters throughout, such as the happy married couple she meets or the little kids, one of whom says "Maybe you have relationship issues." Seasonal romcoms are pretty much my favorite and this one's good. It's nothing challenging but that's okay with me. It's all about the smiles and this one gives them.

*Written by LaurenMorgan@TheGuiltyKitty*Elise MacRenyolds is a driven career woman who works in marketing and has no time for Christmas. After losing her job, she is forced to work in the city with her family selling Christmas Trees while she waits to hear from her headhunter about a new job. With her world turned upside down, Elise is forced back into the Spirit of Christmas and soon starts to find the true meaning of the Holidays. While finding her way back to Christmas, Elise meets a bunch of other characters who can use some Christmas cheer.This is a wonderful, fast paced holiday film. The story of Elise is cute, charming, and sprinkled with holiday cheer. As Elise finds her way into the Christmas Spirit, the joy she shares with others has an infectious ripple effect that becomes her saving grace.Image (5 Paws) – The cover is really precious depicting the main characters meeting and growing closer. I thought the cover image was a perfect fit and really cute.The character of Elise starts out as a Christmas Scrooge and turns into a wonderful, heartwarming character. The love interest Darren is down to earth and is the perfect embodiment of a leading man. The real scrooge of the film, Mr. Nixon, turns out to be a heartbroken man who finds his way through the holidays.
