Pottersville is one of two things, the worst Christmas movie ever or the best movie ever.

Rated: 2/4

In a year full of disturbing events, there's something uniquely unsettling about seeing Michael Shannon look as shaken as the rest of us. Maynard might save Christmas, but we all lose a little something along the way.

Rated: D-

A good-hearted but overly broad and underwhelming debut.

...If you’re tired of the same old Christmas film – Pottersville is a must-see.

I just don't know what to say or how to adequately describe this film.

Substream Magazine

Pottersville is an undeniably bad movie; regardless of whether its script is a self-aware or how good the acting is, it's an outlandish story that finds resolution by cribbing heavily from It's A Wonderful Life.

Rated: 1.5/5

This is a heartwarming, silly Christmas movie that's an annual watch for me and my wife. Don't listen to the critics, it's gold among the drawn out, tired stories of the holidays.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This movie is SO silly and I love it, so much. It gives me a hell of a giggle every time I watch it. It’s certainly not your traditional holiday film and it’s quirky and bizarre, but it’s quite fun and heartwarming! It doesn’t take itself seriously and the cast is great!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Irreverent; clever. Offbeat/corny in the best way. Don't knock it ‘til you try it…

I loved it. It's a sweet story and Michael Shannon is such a loveable nice guy. So refreshing for a change. I recommend to at least watch it and give it a chance.

Light and carefree Christmas film with a banal and basic moral that goes very well. A movie to watch as a family if you want a very banal movie that always works on an entertaining level
