A Firehouse Christmas

Awful...............................terrible

The worst

I watched this movie with my teen daughter. We watch about a dozen Christmas movies every year, and this one was bad enough to finally write a review. The premise was good so we kept watching with hope that it would get better. It didn't.

There were a number of plot gaps, script or Director shortcuts, and poor production in my opinion. This movie had such potential, but neither the Canadian name A Christmas Hero or international name Firehouse Christmas really made sense to the story.

The movie was predictable and had a decent cast, but the Director, writers and production crew had the movie bouncing all over the place and it almost seemed like the actors were having a hard time following the story-line themselves. Had they not cut so many corners in the script, this movie could have easily been a 7.5. Instead its barely a 5, and definitely a never watch again.

Weak characters, profoundly dumb and weaker Tom. Overacting, unrealistic and terrible script.

Just a flop however you see it.

What a pity, as there could have been a decent and happy Christmas story. This was just dumb and silly. Directors should head for the nearest cliff....

The basic virtue is the recipe. Careful respected, fine used. A girl, her parents, the grandpa like a sort of Scrooge and a mother more interested by public image, a father reminding Peter Pan and the brave, courageous and charming girlfriend of the father, off course she is fireworker. But, against naivety and cliches, the films well works. A mix of romance and growing up, it is just- just nice.

I do love a Christmas movie - full of cheese! However this one was just horrid. They were a horrible bunch of people. The grandfather was foul. The dad didn't have any balls to stand up and say 'she's my kid, sod off!' The mother was HORRID! Who would refuse to give their daughter a Christmas present on Christmas morning from her dad??
