While not a top-tier production, this was not the intent of the movie.It is based upon real-life experiences of the Director, who also self-funded the $20K to begin the production of the movie. For more insight from the Director, please search the web for "The Story Behind "Homeless for the Holidays", found at christiancinema.com. (Due to review restrictions, could not provide a direct link to the article.)I've watched it several times, and each time, am able to pull more "pearls" from the heart of the story.At a minimum, the movie has "food for thought" value, and provides some great family discussion points about what really matters in this life ...

I saw this film and I had to make my friends watch so they can see what a real bad films is like. I saw all the good reviews this film had and then I saw they were written on October 20 & 21 and the reviewers only had reviewed THIS FILM so that told me that the filmmaker made up a bunch of accounts to help boost the appeal! When I bought this film the IMDb rating was 7.2 or higher. SIX MONTHS LATER that has been cut to 4.5 which I think is also too high. Looking at the reviews one person that gave this movie "10 Stars" was the star "Matt Moore"Now the reason why I hate this film is because it was terrible. Bad acting on top of a stupid plot.I have nothing against Christian Values because I am one. I just hate it when I see jerks manipulation IMDb

BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM JUST HONEST.This was as bad as any film can get. I applaud that the writer took a chance but the casting fails him. I think nobody in this film ever took more then 1 acting class. In this film a man who is a snotty adman ends up losing his job after he agrees to take the fall for a faulty label. He is promised that he will get his job back as soon as "Controversy subsides". Little does he know his former boss/friend makes Mr Potter (from It's a Wonderful Life") look like a saint. Now after he loses his job he then slowly start losing everything else. His wife sticks by him and his kids are too good to be true. After he loses his job from the a boss from hell he gets a new job for minimum wage. He then sees that his new boss that is not from hell but from "hell adjacent". What did work in this film I am still trying to figure that out. The film is family safe but if you love your family don't make them watch this.

Films like this at this time in our history really hit your heart! It is very well-written and the Actors are are so relatable! At one point, I thought I heard my Husband sniffling but I did not look at him. Later, on the drive home he said "That was a great film! I even started to tear up a bit at one point! Seriously!" (Now that alone says a lot). While being entertaining and funny at times it is also moving to your Spirit. I believe we can all relate to the entire Baker Family. The film tells it like it is for some people and more than not. And it is a Great family friendly Film! We look forward to seeing it again! Kudos to the Director, Cast & Crew!
