Fantastic!

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

There's two things I can say about this Christmas movie. One: It made me cry. Not just tear up but gush in an Oprahesque out pouring of emotion. That hasn't happened since I watched 'Old Yeller' when I was nine. Two: I watched it in July. It's that good. Heartfelt, credible performances (especially by Sam Elliot) and great direction and strong script turn this sentimental Christmas story (that could have easily been another one of those horrible Christmas themed 'Lifetime' channel TV movies) into a rich and uncompromising story. It makes my short list of top 75 movies of all times!

Every now and then I come across a movie that missed the movie theaters, never was on the shelve at the local stores and "was under the radar" for some unknown reason.Last week I came across Prancer on IMDb and was blown away why it's not on the top 10 list for Christmas movies?Prance is definitely a hidden gem for Christmas movies!A beautiful movie about hard times and simple fun loving kids who believe in Christmas. Make sure to have the Kleenex box close by when you watch this at Christmas. The kids will be glued to the TV for sure!Sam Elliott and Cloris Leachman were perfect for the storyline. Rebecca Harrell will steal your heart for sure!

In general, I think Christmas has lost its meaning for most people. Now, the main goal of the holidays seems to be to spend as much money as possible. In the process, people lose sight of the fact that we are celebrating the birth of the Son of God. I try hard not to get too wrapped up in the frenzy of the commercialization of Christmas. So, I try to find ways to make my season peaceful and meaningful. Prancer is one of the joys of the season for me. It's themes about keeping faith in the face of all those who don't believe, love overcoming hard luck, and courageously facing loss as a way of dealing with it are timeless. Rebecca Harrell as Jessica Riggs is the star of this movie, and Sam Elliot couldn't have been cast in a better role. During the holidays, I try to find one evening to build a crackling fire, sip hot chocolate, and settle down to watch Prancer. It has become my favorite Christmas movie, and one of my favorite movies of all time. What makes it even more precious is that it was filmed near my home, in LaPorte, Indiana. The beautiful snowy fields, orchards and woods filmed in the movie are just outside my door! I hope you all enjoy Prancer as much as I do!

This is a kids' movie. It has a nice cast, but overall the story was certainly not something I'd watch again, or recommend to anyone unless they have a little kids. The film starts off a little slow, and then picks up with some nice photography and an interesting angle about an injured reindeer being rescued. However, it bogs down again and gets annoying as the young girl, "Jessica Riggs" (Rebecca Harrell) whines or is in tears half the time as she tries to save "Prancer," (one of Santa's reindeer) from being discovered by her father. She and her father argue all the time, until the end.Little girls would like this film, but not many other people. The ending is too hokey, too.
