Talking about not having cheesy jokes ruining it for someone. Just when the review finishes saying "You can't really tell what decade it's supposed to take place in" 2:20 a 1970s Volvo pops into the scene. EPIC! 👍👍👍

Jon ...no try again i said the Jack black movie were a kid sends a letter to satan rather than santa

[@CNormanHocker]

I'm not watching anything produced by the person behind the deceptive Chosen.

@@CNormanHocker Which part isn't a deceptive Chosen?

[@WaltzingAustralia]

Very much enjoyed it. Particularly liked that the rowdy Herdman's weren't the only one's "converted," but also the cold Christians in the movie, who were melting by the end. Really well done.

[@Ashleyrae11]

Yes!!! I love how it’s not a very Preachy christmas movie where it leaves a bad taste. It’s very genuine and I appreciate that.

[@JuanCruz-bp7yu]

I tried not to sob during the movie, it was so touching. Definitely a movie I plan to purchase to watch every Christmas.

[@mommacita2069]

My expectations were a bit low, so I was surprised at how much I loved this movie. I think it was wonderfully done and I wouldnt be surprised if it became a family favorite Christmas classic. ❤

[@occupationalhazardm2166]

I've absolutely adored the original book ever since I was introduced to it in the first grade, and there were moments in the story, particularly when they burp the baby Jesus, that stuck with me through my entire life. When I first saw The Chosen, my immediate thought was "I wonder if Dallas read Best Christmas Pageant Ever, because the portrayal of Jesus gives me that dame energy." The second Dallas announced he was making a movie based on the book, I was ecstatic. Still haven't gotten the chance to go see it since there aren't any theaters nearby, but my expectations have never been higher. I love Dallas's work, and I love the original story, and those two things put together are a recipe for something wonderful.

[@nunyabiz2889]

My thoughts exactly.

[@nunyabiz2889]

​@occupationalhazardm2166 I'm not a huge "family friendly Christmas movie" guy, and I loved it. Didn't think I would, but I absolutely did.

[@BigbossEssential]

Same, I had low expectations all I knew it was Christian based and my family and I loved it!

[@Multi-Me-x3k]

YESSS!!! I'm glad you talked about this! I saw the film this week, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt the nostalgic, older Christmas movie vibes from it. I wanted to see this movie b/c I saw the 80's version and my teacher read the book to my class in 2nd grade, so I wanted to get a blast of elementary school nostalgia! And I'm a Gen-Zer, too! Great messages about Jesus and the Christmas story, and hope more movies are similar to this one with the Christian messages! Good job, Whaddo You Meme, and good job Dallas Jenkins! 💯✝❤

Thanks for mentioning that there was an 80s version. I think my grandma showed it to me.

Dallas, your father came to speak at our church in the suburbs of Washington, DC about 20-25 years ago. My husband and I saw him in one of the first promos for the Chosen books a few years ago and we thought it was so cute when he said, “You finally got something right.”😂 Thank you for all you do! 🙏🏽🥰 I am especially excited about seeing the movie because many of the students I teach at a DCPS elementary school could be a part of the Herdman family!☺️

[@cynq66]

I was so excited to see this movie. I read the book nearly every year. I took my grandkids - it is the very first movie they've ever seen in the theater. I took my oldest son to see it the following week. Loved it. I hope to go again. (I quit going to movies about 15 years ago, so this is huge for me! Ha)

I used to watch the 1983 version all the time as a kid and I read the book at some point. I'm stoked they made a new version!

[@denisepost8206]

Saw this movie last week and thought it was fantastic. Hollywood needs to make more of these types of films. I feel comfortable recommending it to all ages- young, old, moms, dads, grandparents and kids can enjoy watching this together. By far, the best movie I've seen in a long, long time.

[@NostalgiaStudiosinc96]

Don't get your hopes up, Hollywood has become a cesspool full of greed.

Perhaps if more films with positive messages and the lack of secular explicit narratives in movies do as well as this film has done with the critics and public alike, Hollywood will get the message that the American people really want Good Feeling positive messages in our movies! (And world) 90% of America 90% of Americans are in favor of Godly Constitutional values.

[@fredrickmansav6852]

hollywood doesn't make these kinds of movies, that's the whole reason it was good.

You've easily convinced me to see it!....... Here's my favourite Christmas joke: "What did Mrs Christmas say to Father Christmas when she looked out of the window on Christmas Eve?"....... "It looks like rain dear!" (I don't know if that joke will be in the movie!) 🙂

[@tearthangel373]

This was one of the Best Christmas movies I’ve seen other than, “It’s A Wonderful Life”!

[@maryvanderpuy8440]

The book is one of my classic Christmas reads...Saw the movie last week, and LOVED it! Laughs and tears! Had a family group ranging in age from 4 to 74...Enjoyed by all! Very well done!! Go!! ❤

[@johnhenry457]

How closely did it follow the book?

[@robe5307]

In the beginning of the movie, I was like "What is this???", by the end, tears were rolling....loved it.

[@Alicia652]

When I taught 5th & 6th grade students back in the 80’s I read this book to them (a chapter a day after they finished their assignments). I also read it to my own two daughters during this time. I loved the book and I can’t wait to see the movie! ❤ In fact I am going to see it today! If Dallas Jenkins has directed and produced it, I know it will be fantastic!!

[@Kattydid19]

The book, and its first sequel (The Best School Year Ever) are two of the best children’s books I’ve ever read. The interesting part was reading comments years ago where someone claimed that many in the author’s smaller hometown knew exactly about the real family who had served as inspiration for the book. Now, I really want to go reread the book. 😂

[@billglover7875]

I couldn't agree more with you. I laughed, I cried, I sat in shocked silence and nudged my wife several times at points where the run up to the actual pageant was something very similar to what we had experienced in our early ministry and Christmas programs. I would strongly encourage any and all families (and I mean ALL families) go and really, really enjoy this movie. It is a truly holiday miracle.

[@juliehiggins2915]

I LOVED IT!! So good. A tearjerker!

[@llamasugar5478]

My husband went with some of our family out West. The whole group, ranging in age from preteen to 95, loved it. I’m really looking forward to seeing it, too.

[@tanyahug9965]

When I hear Holy Spirit inspired words and stories I get what I call Godly Chills, a wave of chills that just feels so good and as he explained his son's response the day after the movie I got chills everywhere. I was literally smiling as I listened to his review of this movie. It comes out today and I will be taking my family to go see it.

[@brando3342]

I don’t want to get my hopes up too high, but it sounds good. One that I will happily get other people’s hopes up for, if you haven’t seen it, is Unsung Hero. I HIGHLY recommend that movie. It’s about the life of the band For King And Country. I watched it with my parents and grandparents, it’s FANTASTIC.

[@findingshalom]

I was pleasantly surprised. I loved the movie. I went because my mother-in-law wanted to go, but wasn’t excited to go. In the end I was laughing and crying. And I thought the message was beautiful. Surprise of the season. ❤

[@sorenpx]

I've seen a lot of people echo a similar sentiment. Out of curiosity, why were you not interested in going initially?

[@findingshalom]

@@sorenpx to be fair I didn’t see a lot about this movie ahead of time. I was surprised at what an amazing story filled with the love of Jesus it was. And that it flowed so well. I was also surprised by the quality of filming etc. I don’t think I fully understood that this was a Christian film.

[@sorenpx]

@findingshalom Do you watch The Chosen?

[@findingshalom]

@ no I don’t.

[@TheHeggert]

Our extended family took our 5-13 year olds (8 of them) in matching pjs to this movie yesterday morning. So glad we did! It's kind of slow at the beginning and I wondered if the younger ones would like it. The back half of the movie is so touching and funny and the kids "got it". They kept quoting it all afternoon and we adults were all tearing up at the end. What a beautiful film. It'll be an annual tradition viewing it right alongside "It's a Wonderful Life".

[@prattle4092]

My husband and I took our 8 and 5 year old to see this. I didn’t have high expectations, but this movie was so good. Not only did my kids love it, but my husband and I both loved it and were in tears at the end of the movie. It kind of had a “Christmas Story” feel to it. Such a good reminder of what Christmas is truly about. Christ came for us all. This will become a regular Christmas movie for us.

[@mramirez5239]

Woot! Woot! So glad your son even had a sweet take-away. ❤ To the concerns, for those who have read the book or seen the 1983 film depiction of it, Charlie just doesn't have a big role. As for Imogene taking the Lord's name in vain 3 times in the book, she isn't checked, but in this movie depiction her doing so is appropriately checked. So that may help viewers. Also, the smoking is more implied, and she isn't seen really puffing away.

[@matthewadamson4687]

Think we may go see it this weekend! Wasn’t planning on it but seems like a great chance to take my daughters and wife to a movie - matinee of course, those evening prices are crazy!

In the second grade my teacher read this book to the class. I loved that book. I'm glad that they did a good job at the second film adaptation of the film. When I visit my brother and his family this year maybe we'll have to watch. He isn't religious but by the sounds of things anyone can enjoy the film.

For those that don't know there was a 1990ish version of the film before this one came out and I liked it but I love the new one better, saw it last week or so and I laughed , I cried, and It made me want to see the hartmens succeed. As jesus himself said he didn't call the righteous but the sinners . We are all sinners unfortunately , but fortunately God loves us and wants to save us from ourselves. God bless you my friend. Keep up the good work. Hope you guys get this on dvd.

1983 on the TV adaptation. It's available here on KZbin. I tried to watch it but I think you need a set of nostalgia goggles to really get into that one.

@sorenpx well to tell you the truth it was about in the 1990s that I first saw it , i hadn't thought about it until I saw the trailer for the film. I think it's my 4th favorite Christmas movie.

Go into this with the understanding that it's written and shot like a 2000s family-friendly comedy (think Santa Clause) It's a bit tropey at times- but if you take the pretentious CalArts hat off, you're left with a rich,heartwarming, and beautiful film with a thoughtful and well-executed classic, Christmas film.

My wife and I went to see it. We like the book a lot and were big fans of the original movie with Loretta Swit so I was uncertain about going to see this one but it was such a wonderful movie. They stayed true to the source material, the acting was spot on, it was a beautifully filmed movie that captured the feel of the town. Sadly it captured all to well the reality of a western church that tends to spurn the outcasts but I am glad it did because it used that to hammer home the fact the Jesus came for everyone. This was one of the few movies I have ever seen that the audience in the theater started clapping when it was over.

[@annhatfield6044]

We saw it earlier this week. My husband said he could totally relate because he grew up in the church and has played every role in the Christmas pageants except Mary over the years. I did not grow up in the church and have never even seen a Christmas pageant so I had a great time getting a "behind the scenes" look at what they are all about. It was a fantastic movie, so funny and charming. Highly recommend!!

Thanks. I love that book, and my kids loved it when I read it to them years ago. Glad to hear that the movie caught the tone of the book. Never saw the TV adaptation from1983. BTW, in the book, younger brother Charlie didn't have much of a role, either.
