Movie Reviews of The Christmas Choir
Movie Review: A MIRACLE FEEL-GOOD THAT'S BASED ON A REAL STORY
Summary: 5 Stars
"Hitting bottom is when you're all alone and there's no shoulder to lean on."
"The Christmas Choir" begins from nothing, the true bottom of the barrel, but the men lean on each other, and on those who, in helping the choir, get help themselves. It's a win-win for Christmas. It's a Hallmark TV channel airing that won two "Most Inspirational" awards. And it is that--inspirational.
Workaholic (Peter: Jason Gedrick) gets dumped by fiance.
Workaholic goes to a bar.
Workaholic meets homeless shelter man, Bob (Tyrone Benskin).
Workaholic dreams up "choir" idea.
A Hum-Bum choir is not a frequent-flier tale connected to Santa or a nativity.
A unique and true story.
The dramatized events surrounding The Christmas Choir, comprising homeless men, is heartwarming. The story has a side plot of romance, but the basis of the film is forgiveness & giving & transformations & miracles & second chances. That's a lot for one choir and director to accomplish in 84 minutes but they do it, and it works, and it is a delightful way to spend a small portion of your Christmas holiday time.
One surprise recognizable cast member is Sister Agatha played wonderfully by Rhea Perlman who is a habitless nun working at the shelter with the same in-your-face attitude Perlman developed and made famous as a bar-maid on "Cheers". Fun as well as sincere.
Expect NO extras or bonus material except previews of other Christmas DVDs.
But the DVD is a value regardless, a staple in picking up the Christmas spirit.
Low economic times call for low economic Christmas miracles, right?
Summary of The Christmas Choir
Based on a true story, The Christmas Choir is the inspiring account of how one man can make a remarkable difference simply by giving of himself. Workaholic accountant Peter Andrews (Jason Gedrick) has overlooked Christmas, friends and even his fiancé for far too long. As a result, his life begins to fall apart. But a chance encounter with a homeless man named Bob (Tyrone Benskin) changes everything and inspires Peter to start a choir that eventually goes on to enormous success. With the help of the unconventional Sister Agatha (Rhea Perlman) and his newfound friends at the shelter, Peter learns that Christmas is not a season but a state of mind and that everyone deserves a second chance at life and love.Similar DVD Movies
