The clothes were obviously brand new, completely unrealistic of the 1930's. Perfect hair, perfect skin. The actors were so beautiful and perfect and clean! Yeah, very believable! /s They had a lot of food on their plates and yet they left the table anyway, barely eating any. Not to mention feeding some to the dog. You'd never see that in the 30's, especially within a family whose father is struggling to make ends meet. I couldn't finish this movie, it was so bad. The acting was terrible and the entire movie was unrealistic.

I'm a cancer patient which feela a bit like being a hardened criminal. I've watched 23 Christmas movies this year and this is the only one that caught me off guard and made my eyes leak. Maybe it was the horse. Maybe it was the redemption in the end on so many levels but I'll keep it for next year.

Life lessons to learn and the importance of being honest and how cheating and lying and the consequences that come with those bad choices are negative and eventually you lose all or any integrity.

NOTE! This movie on Amazon Prime is entitled "A Christmas Wish". Such a heartwarming movie which help us reflect that Christmas is a time for kindness towards our family and friends and,not about HOW much money we feel obliged to spend on gifts to impress each other. Even in times of austerity,it's so important for us to remember gifts come from the heart and soul and,not from our pockets. Reviews from those who blasted this movie should look within themselves and,really think "Am I truly happy with my lot?"Riches are within us and,not in our bank accounts! This one is on my list of all time favourite Christmas movies!!! Plus,it was great seeing Leo from "Charmed". It was like watching him in an alternative Whitelighter role.

A Christmas Dollar conveys a much needed message in today's society. Truly a significantly poignant point on moral importance. Not sure why everyone is criticizing the cast, they all did a wonderful job telling a story that every school should show their students before the holiday break. Loved Brian Krauss from Charmed. Always a great performance by Nancy Stafford. I've loved all of the roles she's been cast in through the years. Danielle C. Ryan and Heather Beers were lovely! And yes, Jacob Buster & Ruby Jones stood out with their performances. This movie brought all the feels of hope, love and blessings, which is Christmas is supposed to be about.

Such a beautiful heartwarming film. The children were amazing actors and the story precious and uplifting. I highly recommend this movie.

The kids didn't notice the prop, costuming, set, acting and other faults in this movie. The values that it enforces make it worth the watch, and the kids liked it. After a full day of shopping, lines, traffic, and decision-making this movie was a good ending to a "consumer" day. Nice way to wind down after "Elf" and "Rudolph".

Watchable Christmas movie. These movies are supposed to be uplifting. But nothing seems to go right for these kids in a family struggling without their mother in the depression. So it's more serious than the usual Hallmark movie. There is an injured horse and a missing dog and a bunch of bullies and an outspoken cute girl and a older nurse wannabe and a budding romance and a mean old horse owning woman. It's okay if you want a change from Hallmark fluff.

I had the pleasure of watching this tonight for the first time. I decided I wanted to review it and as I came to the page, I read one from someone who said the cast was awful. OMG, the first thought that came to mind was just how amazing the entire cast was. You might find a movie here and there with a great young child actor; maybe one with even two; but this movie had at least 5; probably 8-10 when you think about all of the children in the movie. The grownups were great too. Some have criticized the direction but hey, this was a movie that takes place during the depression. I thought they did a wonderful job bringing that time period to life. I found the movie looking for films with Danielle C. Ryan (Danielle Chuchran) who may be one of the most beautiful young actresses I have ever seen. She is also very talented and always brings her characters to life. I would and will highly recommend this movie.
