Pottersville is one of two things, the worst Christmas movie ever or the best movie ever. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

A good-hearted but overly broad and underwhelming debut. Go to Full Review

1.5/5
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. Go to Full Review

The Gentleman B Dec 25 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. See more Mel P Dec 22 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! See more Sara W 12/12/2023 Irreverent; clever. Offbeat/corny in the best way. Don't knock it ‘til you try it… See more 12/26/2021 Professional critics are corporate hack losers who wouldn't know an original idea if it sat on their faces. If you want an interesting premise for a small town dark comedy, a star studded cast whose talents are well utilized, and what is ultimately a heart warming tale of a good man just trying to help his town in the most absurd way possible, than this movie is for you. See more 12/22/2021 This is a crazy funny movie. There are some amazing scenes in this movie that Im still laughing about everytime I think of them. You have to pay attention as some of the one liners take a moment to register. The humor may be lost on the uptight critics, but dont let that disuade you. It is bizarre, and funny, and sweet. My all time favorite xmas (and bigfoot) movie. See more 12/18/2021 pottersville is a movie that cannot be adequately described in words. this film is an experience you need to live yourself to understand See more Read all reviews
