Good movie but grossly overrated

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

I don't know if it was the writers or the director that killed the storyline. The little girl was the only endearing character.The Tucker's show up at the cabin in the woods wrapped in their personal blankets trying to stay warm and say it took them 2 hours to walk in the snow to reach the cabin. They followed the lights in the house to get there. Now when they go to leave, they don't have their blankets with them and the oh so loving reformed dad doesn't offer his new found saviors a freakin' ride to their car! It was a 2 hour walk! My take away from the movie is never be like the Montgomery family.

BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.In this film The dysfunctional Montgomery family go to their cabin for Christmas where a blizzard traps them inside. When the Tucker family arrives needing shelter, they are welcomed inside and remind the Montgomery family how to love each other.The performance in this are fine. The little girl is cute. There is some very nice scenes in this film but the film in general isn't that great but it is worth watching.The message in this film is "Communication" and "Life is meant to be enjoyed" I like the general message of the film which makes me recommend "Slightly".Family safe but small children will be bored.

SPOILERS**** Oh Dear...where to begin? The scenery was lovely and the cabin was a dream come true. The rest of the movie? It was an hour and a half of my life that I will never get back. It was so bad that I couldn't stop watching. I had the entire plot figured out in the first 10 minutes. There were a few things that were so bad they have just stuck in my mind like a goofy song you can't get out of your head.The Montgomery parents were the most selfish example of a Mother and Father that I have ever seen. We the viewers were supposed to dislike the Father and side with the Mother but I found myself doing the opposite! The Mother was the most self absorbed, spoiled example of womanhood you can imagine. She just says whatever whiny thing comes to mind with no concern for how it will be heard by her children.I actually felt sorry for the Dad. As for the Tuckers...yikes...Someone told the teenage son to lean in and look seriously intense during what was supposed to be heartfelt dialog. To me he looked like he was going to lose it and kill them all in their sleep! As far as the ending...the wrong family died. What struck me as weird was how The Montgomery's just accepted that the Tucker's were dead with no sorrow or real emotion...not a care was given.It was like..."Oh well...they are dead.But Hey! Didn't they give US a great Christmas?...la da de da" On the bright side, if you can watch this movie as a parody and laugh at the total absurdity of it you just might be able to make it through to the end.

not sure what movie the previous reviewers were watching, but I sensed some bitterness from them in their reviews. I found it refreshing from the more predictable boy meets girl in a Christmasland and after clashing at first, fall in love. kiss kiss. mistletoe. merry Christmas. Although you can see what is coming (can't you in any feel-good made-for-TV movie?) this is reality. this is about a family on the verge of falling apart. It addresses REAL issues: a husband entangled in his stressful job, a wife hoping this get away will bring her family closer, a marriage on the brink of divorce, unresolved grief issues, teenagers glued to their e-devices (escaping), a younger sister seeing the stress and trying her darnedest to be a positive influence and keep her parents from getting a divorce (the people pleaser). she prays for a miracle. Enter a family that through example and love help this hurting family. If you are looking for a large cast of characters with tons of drama, this is not for you. If you are looking for romance and sex, this is not for you. If you ARE looking for reality based, maybe even from a hurting family yourself,if you are looking for a positive and uplifting message, then this is for you. I won't spoil the ending but after all it is Christmas, so there has to be one surprise.
