Good movie but grossly overrated
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Seen it now about 6 times, gets better every time ! Harry is a great actor ! Willie is very good . !
I will not make this long: See this brilliant movie! At parts it may seem silly, but the very profound parts will move you to tears. Willie Nelson is perfect in every way. He is so believable, but make sure you watch the very last scene! The one who steals this movie is Lyle Lovett! I am not sure a more beautiful smile has ever graced us. His haunting voice will leave shivers down your spine. There are a couple scenes towards the end that follow each other that are pure magic. It takes place while Lovett's gorgeous and haunting "Christmas Morning" is sung. A very likable movie that really grows on you. By the third watching, it will become a favorite! Watch it. And, grab the tissues!
I loved the music, I enjoyed the actors, I was touched by the story. We have experienced loss in our family very similar to the films portrayal, and it touched me very deeply to see such a message as this film unfolds for the viewer. I believe this one will be a yearly visit, the people of Angel's Sing are an inspiration in so many ways. It heartens me to see a holiday based film without touting up so much commercialization, though some folks will see the lighting aspect of this film as a part of that, I don't agree. A celebration of one of the most wonderful and magical times of our lives must contain some festive celebration and decoration as to highlight it's positive effect on all of us.It is really wonderful to see so many musical talents lending their "acting" chops to this film, I hope there is a soundtrack somewhere, BIG THUMBS UP !!!!!
I give it two stars because I love Lyle Lovett. But he should fire his manager for letting him get anywhere near this train wreck.@MoviesRT: "We get the far left haters who give it a 1 without ever watching it, just to bring the ratings down presumably because they hate Christianity." It's not because we hate Christianity, Bible-thumper. It's because we hate terrible movies. Just because Jesus was crucified doesn't mean you all have to have a paranoid persecution complex. Get a clue.And I loves me some sentimental Christmas shows and movies. Charlie Brown Christmas and It's a Wonderful Life are in constant rotation in my house after Thanksgiving. This movie, however, should be buried in a deep, deep cave.And one more thing. You say "the majority of the country thinks this way" or some such nonsense. If that were true, don't you think this movie would have done better?Dream on.
