Kirpianuscus It is a beautiful film. perfect for the Christmas season. not different, at first sigh, by many about the same theme. but special. real special. because it use the romance and the joy and the hope and the hard work and the events for say a nice story. but it has a great virtue - it reminds the authentic sense of Christmas, the day of Jesus Christ birth. far to be a religious film, it is less superficial. and this return to the origin of the significant holyday is the basic good point . and the motif for see it. because it has the gift to say a basic truth, out of so seductive appearences - Christmas is, and must remain, a moment to discover the force of faith and the presence of God in your live. so, a Christmas film. in real sense.

douloscjp Finally, a good, Christian Christmas movie. One with romance, family, giving, etc. This isn't on par with A Christmas Carol (and few are), however, the whole family enjoyed it. There were feel good moments throughout and in the denouement. Don't be fooled--those that decry its overt Christian overtones, are the ones that hate it for that very reason, but can't be honest about it. Yes, Christmas is about Christ, the Savior, not paganism revisited. The spirit of Christmas is bigger than Christ, as all can attest to--it's about giving and having good times with family and friends. If you're looking for a movie that all of your family can watch and enjoy--and all have an entertaining time doing so, then I believe Christmas Lodge is right up your alley.

trainwater I think this movie didn't get the credit it deserved. As with most movies of faith the dialogue can seem a bit lame, but you have to realize that this is a movie that glorifies God...it's not suppose to be full of worldly stuff.One review said there was no chemistry between the lead actors...I disagree. I think it portrayed the proper relationship of Christians. I am sure he would have probably kissed her in the kitchen, but it didn't show that. Too many times movies show too much. We don't have to see passionate love scenes to know what happens between a man and a woman.Overall, this is a sweet little movie that you can watch with your kids, your grandparents, or your preacher and it puts the idea of serving others at the forefront.I cry every time I watch it! :-)

slam256 Way too preachy to my taste. In all honesty, it felt like a catholic priest was directing the movie.The characters were not believable and never once there were real conflicts or disagreements. The majority of the time they were smiling like idiots without any reasons.The two boys and their father did not even say boo!!! They just stood there like props. I can't believe that in a 2011 a man would say to a women "I wish you could come live with me at the lodge if we were married". It was a ROFL moment for me.I've seen school plays with more feelings.Please save yourself money and don't even rent it, unless you are a bible thumper. Only they'll be satisfied with this drivel of a movie. Too bad I cannot give zero out of ten. This is basically the worse Christmas movie made in the past 30 to 40 years.
