Why is it rated so low??
This film is excellent. I really enjoyed it.

Because its an all black cast. Gotta learn imdb voters are very anti-black cast. Its the sad truth.
shareCouldn't have said it better.
shareBeg your pardon, I'm very white. I don't even like to call myself white. Why do people have to put a color on people? Jesus is probably not white. Where he grew up at...look at most of the people's color, its NOT white! :-) I'm just happy being a Christian!!! Color don't matter to me (Moses was married to a "black" woman!) We are ALL created by God and we are ALL God's children whom He loves!
sharePartly because some people don't know how to rate a movie. Read the review on the first page. It's a good review, she really liked it, and gave it 4 stars.
That's why I don't respect the ratings on here. So many are ridiculously high or low.
And please don't play the tiresome race card about everything in the world. Give it a rest.
I guess it's like looking at clouds. You see one thing and I see another. Peace.

Because it's an all black cast? Be real, try the fact that it's a sub-par rehashing of a wonderful holiday film. Grant and Niven are phenomenal and cannot be outclassed in this poorly written remake.
shareWell I think Tyler Perry movies keep playing to their own stereotype. "Preacher's Wife" was a film where the cast happened to be black. It wasn't one of these cheap looking "This is a black person movie" kind of things. Even the music in those trailers is used over and over. Check out this trailer I recently sat through

Tell me that wasn't dumb looking and stereotypical.
I just sat there and watched "Preacher's Wife". It wasn't about "Ooh we all black". It was like watching 'Cosby Show'. You knew it, but it wasn't the point
Let's not play the race card here!
Also, I think the movie was awesome. Have seen "The Bishop's Wife" and this too, while the former is a classic, this one's not too shabby either! Plus, I absolutely fell in love with the kid, he is so damn cute!!!
I always thought it was a great movie, and watch it every Christmas.
No one likes remakes, and although I admit I didn't realize it at the time, I still don't think that's a reason to dislike or criticize the film.
This time, Effie White's gonna win.
Whitney was wrong. Children are no longer the future.
I think its okay but it doesn't really leave you with anything after watching it, but then again I'm not in favour of religion and I believe that you don't have to pray to god to get something you want, that you should believe in yourself, unless that was the meaning, but then again I've only seen it once.
Spreading the love.
I love this film and we all know why it's rated low. This is IMDB and we all know how it goes. Why do some always try to deny it and use that stupid "race card" term?

shareWhitney Houston is lousy!!!! The other performances were decent.

I thought it was boring beyond imagination when I first saw it 4 years ago, but seeing that so many people liked it, I may give this one a second chance this year.
sharei didn't rate it but i thought it was really boring and i had no attachment to the characters besides jeremiah...
I guess we got the same dreams...or is it the same nightmares?
Just because you like it, doesn't mean other people did to rate it high. And that doesn't make it excellent.
