My review of Christmas Jars
Christmas Jars is such a great movie! It is funny, heartwarming, and inspiring. I feel like sometimes when you watch a movie that’s not from a “big name” studio, you’re going to have to deal with sub-par acting and cheap looking camera work. That was totally not the case with this movie. The acting is superb, and you definitely couldn’t tell that this was not some huge budget film. I was really impressed with the screenwriting (I’m not sure if the author of the book also did the screenplay or not).
These characters are so believable, and the actors play the characters very well. I really loved the banter in the office among the staff. It added a lot to the film. In my (not so humble) opinion, I think every film needs to make you laugh throughout it.
I loved how Hope dealt with her moral dilemma and how the theme of forgiveness was weaved into the movie. Of course, one of the best part of the movie is how inspiring it is. In a world of greed, it’s good to remember that “It is more blessed to give than receive.” We have been given so much. I encourage you to start your own “Christmas Jar” or something similar, so when the holidays roll around, you can be a blessing to someone in need.
