Christmas Grace (2013) Reviews

• A Christmas Turkey / A Christmas Disgrace

  Christmas-Reviewer2016-08-31

  BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION & THAT IS WHAT IS GOING ON HERE FOR THIS FILM! TRUST ME THIS FILM IS TERRIBLE. NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 Christmas MOVIES. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM FARE. Christmas Grace tells the story of two rival toy store owners competing for business over several Christmas seasons. One of them is Gary (RyanIver Klann), a young toy store owner who runs an honest business and who tries to maintain a good reputation with his customers. Things are running smoothly for Gary until his business is threatened when a much larger toy company moves to the neighborhood. The owner of this larger company, Mr. Tollman (Tim Kaiser), is a ruthless businessman who voraciously wants to grow his business and eliminate competition. Since his most immediate competition is Gary's store, he sets his target on him. As the story unfolds, it becomes very clear that God is at work in the lives of these two men, and God's grace and providence work out in ways neither of them could have imagined. There is nothing professional about this film. Its bad. It slow moving & anti climatic. Its also too preachy. I don't mind a religious message but they do hit you over the head with it every 2 minutes. This film is not worth your time. I don't mind a religious message. I just don't like bad films.

• This was so bad I had to let everyone know

  Christmas movies are enjoyable. They are family friendly & have lots of heart. By the end of most these films you feel great. My favorite films are always have a "Real Christmas" flare to them. I love films that have "Snow" in them. I also love it when they do incorporate what" Christmas" really is about. Now as a Christian I was looking forward to watching this film after I read the back cover of the DVD. After I saw this film all I can say is "The general idea of the film was good but the film itself fails to be even remotely entertaining" The plot was really truthful about the teaching of Christ but you get hit over the head with the "Message" and so the message gets "lost". The screenplay was amateurish. The sets were not great and the acting was the worse. "Christmas Grace" tells the story of two rival toy store owners during Christmas time. Gary, who runs an honest business and has a good relationship with his customers. Everything is running smooth for Gary until he hears of a new bigger store opening up across the street from him. This owner, Jim, is a ruthless businessman who will stop at nothing to grow his business and eliminate his competition. Since his most immediate competition happens to be Gary s store, he sets his target on him. As the story unfolds it becomes very clear that God is at work in the lives of these two men, and Gods Grace and Providence work out in ways neither one of them could of imagined. If you want to see how "NOT" to make a film this is a great example. This film could of been better had a better writer was brought in and gave a polish to the dialog. This film should be remade but with a more talented creative team. TheWriter/Director of "Christmas Grace" Keith Perna has no talent of either.

• I had to watch this

  A friend of mine called me yesterday and told me to watch this. I was able to stream it for free (Thank God). He told "Ed Wood made better films". I thought he was kidding however he wasn't. This was the longest movie I had to sit through. It ran for 90 minutes but it felt like 9 years! This film is truly torture device that the army should use. In this dreadful film a man loses everything that cares about except his faith in "Jesus" and "God". His faith carries him through a difficult time however "God should saved me from watching this crap". The screenplay was terrible. The acting was armature hour! Please watch this and review it. I can not be the only person who hated this film!

• So Bad It Makes The Pope Hate Christmas

  Christmas movies are nice to watch. They can be really good or really bad. This film SUCKS. I don't mind films with a "Christian Theme" I mean after all "Christmas" is about the birth of Jesus. What I hate is films that are badly done. The worse offenders are movies like this that have "nothing of value". Unless You want to make a coaster out of the DVD. The Jacket Art is much better than the film. The problems with "Christmas Grace" is that the writing is bad. The cast is bad. The sound is bad. The plot is bad. The photography is bad. In this film a man who is a Christian loses his toy store when a chain store opens up on the same street as his. This does not cause him to lose his faith but it also drives him to rebuild his life and later re-open his store. The general idea of this film is fine "But it was badly done". The writer/director has no clue how to construct a film however none of the actors are any good. There is better acting in porn films. If you look at the "GOOD REVIEWS" they were all written in 2-3 day period. That makes me question the integrity of them. I think they were written by people who made the film. DO NOT BOTHER TO WATCH THIS. MAYBE IS YOUR DRUNK IT MIGHT BE GOOD!

• BEWARE of the good reviews

  With all the great reviews I saw on IMDb for this film I had to see it. I bought this in December and forgot I had it. This morning when I going through my DVD Collection I saw this film was still unopened. So after 6 months I got around ti watching this. It was a disappointment. I thought this film was going to better than what was presented. As a viewer I was expecting a man who loses his faith and later regains it with the help of his family and the church. Instead what I saw was a film about a man who seems to be insane & borderline autistic. The film is in no way shape or form entertaining! Its insulting that this man seems to keep putting his family's future at risk all the time. In reality we "Protect" our family first. "Charity Begons at Home". The main villain in this film is a business man (of course). Yes he is stereo type but the redemption of him at the end is uninspiring.
