stevepat99 If any movie is 'the worst ever', where every line of dialogue and every plot point is terrible and watching this movie will have you hating all Christmas movies I have just one question. How could anyone who honestly feels this way sit through the entire film? I join most all reviews that find this Hallmark Christmas movie a fun, good natured, good hearted effort with a better then average cast and a unique setting. I like Dermot Mulroney who plays Tom and thought there was good chemistry between his 'Tom' and Kimberly Williams-Paisley who played his lost love Eleanor. Danny Glover had a major low key role which he easily delivered. Joan Cusack and the 'fortune' teller added some needed humor and a tad of mystery.The finale added an interesting, appreciated twist. The setting, aboard a snow bound train was welcome. So tired of car breaks down, fish out of water stuck in small town plots. Overall, this was an above average, pleasant train ride

jclampett-25271 This movie was nothing like the book. Sorry, but If I didn't read the book, maybe I could deal with Hallmark and put up with the heavy sighs and "pregnant" pauses during the movie. The acting is generally OK and the movie is worth watching, but for me, I was disappointed. In addition, the ending left me wondering, huh, is this it?

brysoncole Only reason for writing this review today is because in one of the scenes they stop in a town called La Junta, Co. now I'm born and raised in that neck of the woods and i sure can't remember being able to see mountains from La junta. If you would like to know La Junta is a small town located in the Arkansas valley. It is a very rural community and a main train depot on the plains.

me-47169 I just finished watching the premier of Hallmark Hall of Fame​'s "The Christmas Train". It was a sweet story, with a well crafted script. The main 4 leads were perfectly cast. Joan Cusack, while always a little bit corky, had me smiling throughout the whole film. The back and forth between the films love interests (Kimberly and Dermot) was quite charming. It was fun to watch how Danny Glover brought out the best in his co-stars. While the parallel side mystery, kept me engaged.The only real issue I had, was that this film had a tendency to cut short quite a few scenes. Which also gave way to a few pacing issues. There were a couple times I found myself wondering, "did I miss something?" and "how did we get here?" Yet, even with these flaws, I still found "The Christmas Train" to be an enjoyable ride!
