Movie Reviews of A Holiday for Love

Movie Review: Classic Christmas Movie
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie used to be titled "Home for the Holidays". It tells the story of a man who comes to a Nebraska town to downsize a tractor factory under the pretense of placing an order with them. He falls in love with Melissa Gilbert and all of the town. A town from his childhood. I'm not sure why the name was changed. My wife loved this movie so I bought it for her for Christmas. I paid a lot of money for it, around $50. I don't know why it was so expensive except, maybe it is hard to come by. If that is the case, whoever owns the rights to it should produce more copies so the cost would be more reasonable. Still it is a very sweet story which you would expect from Melissa Gilbert. I would recommend this movie as a good wholesome romantic Christmas story.

Movie Review: Predictable but who cares...
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie is predictable and you can pretty much guess how it will turn out less than halfway through the movie but that doesn't matter as someone who bought a title like 'Holiday for Love' (or 'Christmas in My Hometown' as it is originally titled) pretty much knows what they will get - a feel-good movie. And this movie does deliver, the acting's great, the story's fine (for this kind of movie), and most of all, the atmosphere's (bolstered by the Christmas tunes) fabulous. Wish someone could re-release this so that the price would drop (it's currently $67.80 from Amazon's third party sellers) and bigger mass could enjoy it. Highly recommended.

Movie Review: underrated actor!
Summary: 5 Stars

A very cute, wonderful movie. If you're a Travis Tritt fan, you'll love him in this and love his character. He proves to be a very good actor who seems to have personally experienced some of the story in his own life (some of the facial expressions and timing seem to come from his personal experience, not from acting!) I'm always looking for good Christmas movies, and this one was new to me. Also gave me more insight into Travis' "Where Corn Don't Grow" and I discovered just how talented this man is - and underappreciated! A great find.

Movie Review: A Holiday for Love
Summary: 5 Stars

Our family collects Christmas movies, and around the holidays, we watch nothing else. This is quickly becoming one of our absolute favorites. Melissa Gilbert and Tim Matheson have sweet charming chemistry, and are well paired for this film. Travis Tritt's performance was a surprise to me. I didn't know how well he acted, and loved his character.

This is a heartwarming inspirational movie, and one to be viewed over and over again especially around the holidays or when you just need to feel better.

Movie Review: Yuletide Classic for the entire family!
Summary: 5 Stars

Mostly know by the alternate title "Christmas In My Hometown", this is probably my favorite 'made for TV' holiday movie with great performances from Tim Matheson and Melissa Gilbert plus a great opening song from country singer Travis Tritt. I too wonder why this DVD drifts in and out of production. This movie seems most appropriate with today's economy.

A wonderful family movie not to be missed this Christmas!
