Marjolein D 12/15/2023 It felt like a film made by high-schoolers, with an uninteresting story. See more 01/05/2021 Tree huggers rejoice. The usual Hallmark absurdity. Predictable and campy. People lining the streets and news crews across the country to see a wrapped tree on the back of a semi --- uh huh, sure. See more 11/19/2018 disgusting quality assurance and customer service. we ordered a $750 tree and it didn't arrive with power supply when I contacted National they hung up twice, unprofessional and terrible customer services. See more 11/27/2015 The main character, Rocky, is a blogger, so he makes vlogs, stop-motion videos, etc. Thus, there are stop-motion transitions throughout the movie that add some kitschy charm. Rocky is written as a realistic young adult; not moody and reclusive or syrupy sweet, like you normally see in holiday movies. He'd rather Skype with his friends and coordinate group collaboration projects than bond with his father where there's no wifi, but it's not like he's mean to his father. The plot is different from other holiday movies and it has a holiday flair without saturating you with the holiday spirit. The movie isn't too optimistic and doesn't have a lot of drama; it's just a son trying to win a contest in honor of his deceased mother. It's definitely one of the better holiday movies.
