The Town Christmas Forgot (2010)

This is a made for television Christmas feel-good film, that's all you need to know because you can draw your own conclusions from that and will not be far wide of the mark.

The implausibilities and ridiculous nature of the plot do not bare discussing, there are cliches oozing from every orifice. The acting is perfunctory from the main players and then is a sliding scale from there, to the point that you could believe that a film crew rocked into a destitute town to begin production and some locals drifted onto the set when nobody was looking.

You could blame the failure of this film on the absence of cats and dogs and magic but this would have required high-grade Magic Circle influence to conjure anything special out of such a lame premise.

There are no redeeming aspects to this film.

Adult score: 0/5
Child score: 4/5
First thing the child said when the film finished: Nothing to say and no explanation to justify the high score
