not as good as all the hype

Am I Missing Something?

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The true meaning of Christmas IS this movie!I remember watching it on TV back in 2001 with my little daughter (who is over 25 now). I didn't care for it back then, but ever since the 2010s have started, I've become more accepting towards everything and everyone and began to watch romantic comedy films of my own free will. I'm a new man thanks to this movie. I know it will touch your heart, just like it touched mine 16 years after it's release.Note, that this was made in 2001, so if you only like modern-day movies this is not for you. Believe it or not, 2001 is nearing on being 20 years ago! I know many people don't accept that it is technically the olden days now. I didn't either until last year. Thanks to this wonder of a family film, I've changed my mind though. I used to hate this movie, but I was much younger and much more foolish back in those days.Now go on and experience the magic that is The Sons of Mistletoe!

I Loved this Movie! It was adorable and sweet... very comical, too! A great Holiday film for the family. The acting is wonderful- especially the boys! If you have the chance to watch it- don't miss it- It's A Must SEE for any fan of Romantic-Comedies!!!George Newbern was so handsome as the overseer of a Boy's Home.... and Roma Downey was pretty with her blonde hair. A perfectly matched couple!Sons of the Mistletoe is the Best 'made for TV' Holiday Program!

Some films are diminished by predictable story lines. This is not one of them. Rather, the very fact that one could almost call out what was going to happen, scene after scene, was in some strange way suspenseful: would I guess right? Yes! Oh, I am so glad!Maybe this was due in part to the unfamiliarity of seeing Roma Downey playing the heavy for a change. Then again, it was not only her scenes where this happens. She came across as believable, once I got over the fact that here, she's no angel. It was nice to see her with a character that has a bit of growing to do. Another definite plus: the boys from the home played off each other nicely. I got the impression that these young actors truly cared about each other, as much as their characters did.This is not a movie to get one's teeth into. It is a bit of a schmaltzy tear-jerker, with which to warm your soul on a cold winter evening. It is comfortable and delightful, with just the right touch of romance and the Christmas spirit.

Nothing special, but a cute little movie for the Christmas season. It's about a Foster Home endangered by the new land lady. It is comical with a touch of drama. -->> AAA, OH YES, ROMANCE!! Yes!, > You will see this as well. This movie is ok, but NOTHING SPECIAL!
