    Best Christmas movie ever for family

    by jpeterson1695

    I left the movie smiling and in the holiday spirit of love and sharing. What more can be asked for. I really want to see it on Dvd so I can have captions.

  • Must Go!

    Very entertaining holiday movie for kids of all ages from 6 to 72

    Everyone will be entertained by the characters in this Santa story updated for our technological age. There are many laughs throughout the movie and you will not be disappointed in this holiday fare.

    Arthur Christmas

    by ssbrown2000

    My whole family loved it, from the 3 yr old to the 40 yr olds. It was not a block buster, nor about traditional christmas, but it was cute. We loved Arthur and the little solders. I didn't like how they portrayed Santa as stupid and clumsy, but it's just a movie.
