I really enjoy (note I watch it still time to time) this hopefully soon to be classic! And what a wonderful plot twist. I also like how Mr. Schneider portrayed his role in a strong protective way. It was his way or the highway, as it should be, but tempered with a fathers love for the most precious thing in his life, (SPOILER!!!!!!) his adopted daughter! The character Mary was a breath of fresh air! An imperfect and mistake making women who no longer acted like a young girl with experience enough to be able to take things as they come and make the best for everyone, not just herself, out of the various situations.Dukes of Hazzard may of been a silly show, but you must note that if you watch it, it moves along briskly staying interesting with the correct camera shots that are never tedious or for the sake of the art of the shot itself. I can see where John gets his chops as a director and I think he did an excellent job!

This is the best Christmas movie I've seen for many years; Best since "The Christmas List".I thought all four of the principal actors demonstrated great personalities consistent with their characters and the storyline. Situational dialog between all character was great; and included many enjoyable scenes of Christmas spirit, sentiment, and humor.I'd strongly recommend viewing of "Mary Christmas" to become an annual holiday season tradition for everyone; especially busy and lonely people, plus families large, small, or fragmented. It will remind them of hopes (past and present), and brighten their spirits (present and future).Toastmaster Joe

Is this the worst movie ever? Well... Probably.An ugly kid with no acting skills whatsoever wants a new mother from Santa(Hell, the kid is like 11-12 years and still believes in Santa, wtf's up with that? Honestly).All the actors are terrible and this is one of this movies you get angry from watching and that red button on the remote seems extremely inviting.The plot sucks too, I don't know, but Americans seems to like making films about spoiled little brats. The thing is, the movie makers obviously wants you to feel sorry for the main character, but it's really hard. The kid is ugly, annoying and stupid. Not a good combination so to say.I don't know anything good to say about this film. The director and the writers should be forbidden to make any more films for the rest of their pitiful lives.I don't have time to write anything else... All I can say is: Don't watch this trash!

This movie is simply wonderful! Cynthia Gibb and John Schneider work well together. Jenna Boyd is a terrific actress, and I have a feeling that her career is just going to take off! This film is a great, feel-good Christmas flick. It's not one of those ordinary, could-never-happen-in-a-million-years stories, because stranger things have happened. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone who's in a Christmas-ey mood.
