Mr Christmas is a reminder of growing up in a less harried time. It offers its viewers a portrait of family life that is to be valued. The level of accuracy in portraying the time period with costume details & settings adds to the enjoyment. The cast, especially the girls, makes the story far more believable.It can be enjoyed by the whole family as an addition to other Christmas classics. It brings to life an area and a time period that some of us enjoyed and remember.As a former librarian I hope it receives a wide circulation. I am looking forward to viewing it again during the season.

Finally, this is a family story that all ages can enjoy. The characters are easy to identify with and the costuming and setting seem authentic for that era.The story leaves you with a warm feeling and a desire to help others who are having a difficult time.The story is very believable because of the events that occurred during the early 40's. In the depression Christmas gifts were very scarce and hard to come by.I gave five copies as Christmas gifts last year and the recipients all seemed to enjoy the story.

Mr. Christmas is a wonderful family film, and living proof that a good, family-based film can go a long way. Beth Brickell did an exceptionally good job casting the girls. Abigail Kinslow does an incredible job portraying her character, Babby. It's hard to imagine that this is her first film; she definitely has talent beyond her years. She was the perfect choice! Abigail helps build the story and gives it a very special touch. It is an excellent story, and the settings are breathtaking. The film will definitely send anyone a warm feeling to last throughout the whole Christmas season. It is sure to get everyone in the Christmas spirit!

Wonderful little film with likable characters, especially the two little girls. Sure to be a Christmas favorite for children and adults alike. Set in rural America at the beginning of WWII, it paints a vivid picture of how small-town American families were having to struggle to make ends meet while the country was gearing up for war. A touching story with an delightful and unexpected ending! For film enthusiasts everywhere, this is a rare example of how quality films are now being made in rural America worthy of mainstream distribution. Lensed entirely in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, authentic locales like this are gold mines for filmmakers searching for unique period settings. This should encourage more production to rural areas all across the country.
