You can have a God feels film without having scripture, Jesus, and the word faith mentioned in almost every scene. Seriously, if the movie wasn't so painfully boring, you could make it a drinking game! Watching a mundane, privileged family solved their petty problems with the aid of church, is not my idea of a Christmas classic.
The characters had about as much chemistry as strangers in witness protection, pretending to be a family. I kept hoping the intended theme of actually being present with family in the moment, as opposed to just occupying the same space with no connection, would be more throughout this film. Instead we had to suffer through a Christmas story with the most anal and boring "family".
If you are a more churchy person, you might enjoy this film. Not me! It was falsely advertised as a drama/comedy... In reality it had zero comedy, I didn't even crack a smile watching this movie. It was also falsely advertised as the next "Christmas classic"... I won't ever watch this dud again!
