Watch Christmas Incorporated For Free

So much average

Good start, but then it gets ruined

best movie i've ever seen.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Christmas Incorporated was my introduction to Steve Lund and it made me want to see more of his work. Hallmark movies tend to be predictable but I really enjoyed this one. I highly recommend it.

Sure, it was corny and formulaic, but that's exactly what I love about Hallmark movies. They're clean, have mild religious overtones, no sex, maybe just a kiss at the end. Riley talks about her family attending Midnight Mass. Love that. I believe people crave these types of movies rather than Hollywood filth with their obligatory premarital sex scenes.Riley is an appealing character, and she carried the film She's a little tart, not too mushy, not too gorgeous, but a nice down-to- earth girl you'd love for her to invite you to her parents' home for Christmas. The male lead wasn't as strong. The story wasn't all that strong, but I don't care. I liked it, and wanted to watch it until the end.

I consider myself a Hallmark movie junkie. I usually love watching all of the holiday movies and all of the Hallmark movies in general. They are now being so mass produced it seems that quality has been left behind as the quantity increases. I can usually look past this and enjoy the fluff and predicable story lines to pass a few mindless hours but this movie was so awful I could barely stand it. I wanted to turn it off within the first few minutes but kept watching hoping it would get better as it churned on. Two hours later it was still horrible--badly acted and full of plot holes and goofs. I clearly have too much time on my hands to have wasted it on this "movie".

Film historians of the future will no doubt teach seminars on the impact of the Canadian film factory (heavily taxpayer subsidized) on the content circulating through north America from approximately 1985 onwards.Hollywood bluebloods hate the Canuck film machine because it takes food off the table. But, based on a lower dollar, the Canadians have found multiple "niches" where year after year they can slip almost-generic content into the maw, each one virtually into profit the moment the film leaves the camera because of the lower costs.Some 90% of the movies that flood the airways around X-mas, in particular, are of this origin and most Americans don't have a clue.This film is unusual for two reasons. Behind the camera is David Perlmutter who has been a Canuck film producer since the 80s and is by no definition a Johnny Come Lately.And in front of the camera we have Shenae Grimes-Beech, an actress possessed of enough charisma for two leading ladies. She carries this film on her back and in the many areas where the script fails, or the casting of the extras (all too-familiar Canadian faces) fails, or the set design fails (the "toy factory" looks like an empty warehouse with a cheap sign installed at very the last minute) she simply cracks a smile and the audience decides to stick with the film for a few moments longer.Finally and for the benefit of newbies to these sorts of films, a "6" rating is veritably an Oscar nod for such a film. I have seen worse.
