This has to be the dumbest movie I've seen in a long, long time. The plot follows no legitimate logical. The acting is comparable to an elementary school play. There is absolutely no consistency in the plot. What most films would try to make characters sympathetic, this film makes characters appear as detestable pieces of human garbage. Characters make decisions that are questionable at best and indescribably moronic at worst. The script is ridden with inconsistencies and the most basic dialogue imaginable. It baffles me how anybody can find any entertainment in this film at all, as this isn't even to the point where it's fun to get angry at, it just makes you want to drop an eighty pound dumbbell on your head. The only reason I could find NOT to give it a 1/10 was that it was shot using a camera, and the actors were in frame most of the time. Those of us who were able to make it to the infuriating ending of this sorry excuse for

This is not really a Christmas film, it's a romance set at Christmas time. So there's no real festive spirit or seasonal joy. What you do get though is a more realistic, than normal, love story. Elizabeth Berkley does a great job playing the struggling mother who wants to give her son everything while having the job she dreams of. She works hard at three jobs trying to bring her dreams to fruition. So when she wins the lottery all her dreams come true... only to be ripped to shreds when her car is "borrowed", along with the winning lottery ticket. She does a great job showing the emotional roller-coaster she's on... and before things get better they get worse. Jason Grey-Stanford does a passable job of depicting the charmer who, unintentionally gets pulled into Elizabeth Berkley's life. There are a few laughs and heartwarming moments along the way, but I doff my cap to the writers and director for taking a more realistic storytelling path. In all the glitzy, schmaltzy, Christmas tales this is a breath of fresh air; one that I would recommend. If it's repeated in a couple of years I'll probably give it a second viewing.

I am not usually too picky when it comes to cheesy holiday movies, and it takes a lot for me to not finish any show or movie once I have started watching it. However, I was so annoyed by the stupidity of the characters that I turned it off less than halfway through the movie. A Christmas movie should put you in the holiday spirit. Not this one. Instead of settling in to enjoy a festive movie, I became more and more irritated. The plot was convoluted and predictable. While I have no complaints about the majority of the actors and their performances, I could not stand to look at the leading man's buddy for one more minute. He was repulsive in character and so unappealing in appearance that it was hard to believe anyone would be his friend or go along with anything he wanted to do. I could not stand looking at him for another minute. If ignorance doesn't get under your skin, maybe you will enjoy it, but otherwise, avoid this movie at all costs!

Elizabeth Berkley is once again the freshest thing in an otherwise stale movie, this one made-for-TV. Sorry yuletide concoction attempts to equate car theft, a lottery win, ice hockey and last-chance boy-girl romance with the holiday spirit. Financially-strapped single mom (whose husband disappeared somewhat mysteriously before the story begins) has her car stolen with a special "Christmas lottery ticket" in the glove compartment. Of course the ticket is a winner--worth an underachieving one million dollars--and of course the guy involved in the car-nabbing is a handsome bachelor with a soft spot for struggling moms and their offspring. Berkley actually manages to make her scenes tender and believable, however the rest of this Hallmark Channel presentation is rather bedraggled.

Not one of the best but still well worth watching, I just love the theme in these movies. Yes, I recommend it. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 12/28/2021.

Do not watch this horrible movie. A holiday romance requires the characters to have some redeeming qualities. Mike is drunk when his friend Joe steals Holly's car. The next morning they learn that the stolen car contains Holly's winning lottery ticket. From then on, Mike makes bad-natured, self-serving decisions and we get dragged through a plot with more holes than -- I mean the scouts have a Father-Son Pinewood Derby on Christmas Eve?? Would you schedule that? And the ticket is due by midnight on Christmas Eve. Would you staff a lottery office at midnight on Christmas Eve? Mike is unlikeable and his defense of his evil-doing friend, Joe, throughout the entire movie is indefensible. Holly just made another big mistake with her love life. Blech. It was awful.

"Lucky Christmas" has an opening that might tempt some to think this won't be a very good film for the holidays. But once it gets past two grown men, Mike and Joe, drinking beer as they toss Joe's family mementos into a barrel fire, the story takes on some new twists and angles with a single mom her young son. The lucky aspect of this film is a state lottery in Michigan that each week from Thanksgiving to Christmas will pick a winner for one million dollars. The plot develops around that when the singly mom, Holly, has a winning lottery ticket about two weeks before Christmas. But several things happen that keep her from having her ticket to cash in by midnight on Christmas Eve. These characters will come together, along with a few more, in an unusual and refreshingly different Christmas movie. The three principals in the cast are all very good. Elizabeth Berkley is Holy, Jason Gray-Stanford is Mike, and Michell Kummen plays Holly's son, Max. This is a good Christmas film about hard work, trust, kindness and family. Most people should enjoy it.

(what Hallmark Christmas movie isn't predictable, folks?) I absolutely loved this movie! Nothing corny, air-headed, or drab like some HC movies. Elizabeth Berkeley played a realistic, down-to-earth person in realistic situations perfectly: if anything can go wrong for a good, decent person, it will. "Holly," a lovely, sincere female, who was dealt an undeserved and unfair shafting, is struggling to make ends meet, as well as raising her son alone to the best of her ability....while desiring to fulfill a major goal as a café owner. Yet, there is always some scoundrel who tries to take advantage of her with her potential fortune........"Holly" came across as a very likable person, someone who would make a good, trustworthy friend. I didn't care for "Mike's" looks. His eyes seemed sinister and insincere. (It was like you didn't want her to be burnt again). But his heart was in the right place, and Elizabeth's appearance and performance wonderfully countered his expressions.........And finally, Wow! that was a nerve-wracking close call to 12 midnight! ***Congratulations, Holly!*** "Happy LEON!"
