Christmas on the Square

Five minutes in and that was enough. Sickly cheesy vomit inducing. Everything here including if the kitsch(en) sink. I bet that is was a stage show but little effort on the set to make it look real. I've been looking forward to this for ages Shane as I'm a huge Dolly and Christina fan. Was this was just to much. If you put twenty drag queens in it couldnt be more camp.

The best movie ever that Netflix has had anything to do with in a long, long time. I do understand all the bad reviews here. It's Christmas, it's a Christmas movie, wonderful songs, wonderful choreography by Debbie Allen. So the story is not what everyone wants but it's lovely to watch. Great to see Treat Williams again. Dolly is magnificent. Watch it for what it is and enjoy the Spirit of Christmas. I remember reading many years ago that WHITE CHRISTMAS got many negative reviews but now it is a classic.

I had such high hopes. I mean, c'mon... Dolly? Christine? Jennifer? Seriously hard hitters here!! The very first scene with people dancing in the square had a huge "Best Little Wh*rehouse in Texas" vibe... and it just kept going downhill from there. There are so many different storylines going on, and it feels like you've been dropped in the middle of all of them.

I absolutely LOVE musicals & thrive off of cheesy Christmas movies but this was, well...a hot messy mess! If your going to try to politicize a Christmas movie at least have good acting & singing to cover up the fact that you are pushing an agenda. It was a bad middle school production with no true plot line & in your face political correctness. Save yourself from this tragedy & go back to watching cheesy Hallmarks movies that are guaranteed to please with their perfect romances & fake snow!

The political undertone is lovely to see. Within the format of a feelgood christmas movie, there are a healthy social democratic message. Yes, we all need Change. "Who benefits? High income people that get tax cuts" I love it! <3 Thank you Dolly.

Love Dolly Parton and Christine Baranski but just couldn't make this past the first 15 minutes to the point it made me feel nauseas. I'm sure it appeals to some, but unfortunately, it made me cringe. Not sure how it could have been done better other than different characters and storyline. It's a no from me.

I have never written an IMDB review before, but this movie was so mind-bogglingly terrible, I can't stop myself. I love Christmas movies. I love Dolly Parton! I love musicals!! But the biggest Christmas miracle is this movie getting a 5.1 average.... Wow, just wow.. The acting, the story, it's all ten times worse than, say, the Princess Switch, seriously.

Wonderful songs and message of light and forgiveness. Because the story is set over a couple of days you can't look into it too hard but it's throughly enjoyable and packs a punch if you embrace it for what it is. I'm planning to watch it again this side of Christmas, when work and planning gets too stressful.

I love cheesy Christmas movies and I also love musicals, but this was not it. I watched the whole movie, but the movie was literally just nonstop singing, and to me the songs were not even that great. I also felt like all the dancing was unneccessary and took away from the plot that was there. Christine Baranski was great in role, but she could not save the movie. This Christmas musical was definitely not for me.

Dolly doesn't even have the decency to appear in scenes with other people. I realize she values plastic, false beauty, but those values don't work when it comes to filmmaking. This is so painful to watch because of the phony production values. Nothing looks real, it's awful.
