This post is a retraction to The Christmas Card, which I recently posted on.
I just watched this movie, The Christmas Card, I hadn't seen it in quite awhile and since it is Christmas time I thought it would be fun to see again. Well it was not as good as a I remember it to be. The acting was just awful and actually my mom and I had more fun laughing at the actors and the script than having fun watching a good movie.
It was a good idea for a movie and entertaining, but it was corny and silly and funny when it shouldn't have been.
Keep in mind that this movie is well-loved and gets high marks from online reviewers and movie watchers. But. . .we have realized it is the story-line involving the war, and finding true love through a Christmas card that is what everyone loves. If you can get past the acting and bad script, you may love it too! 
This movie will always be special to me though, it was the last movie I watched with my grandpa. He loved watching movies and he did enjoy this one.

This remake of the heartwarming Christmas classic captures all the joy and wonder of the original version. A young girl, who has been raised not to believe in fairy tales and Santa Claus, meets a department store Santa Claus who claims that he is the real Kris Kringle. Her mother of course, insists that it can't be true, that Kris is just a nice old man. But soon things start happening that may make them both change their minds and make them believe in the magic of Christmas once again.
