The Christmas Jar- Movie Review





MOVIE SYNOPSIS:  
Based on the New York Times best- selling novel by Jason F. Wright

Hope is an aspiring reporter who has had her fair share of tragedy in life. Abandoned at birth, she's grieving the recent death of her adopted mother when her apartment is burglarized of all her possessions. While reporting the burglary to the police, Hope discovers a jar full of money, labeled "Christmas Jar." Shocked and grateful for this act of kindness, Hope discovers that people all over her hometown of Columbus, Ohio, have been receiving Christmas Jars for years during times of need. The jars are always anonymous and always contain different amounts. In this heartwarming Christmas classic, Hope goes undercover to discover the secret behind the Christmas jars, putting into motion a series of events that will change her life, and her community, forever.


MOVIE REVIEW: 
I had never heard of the book this movie is based on, so I was not sure what to expect going in to it. I 
was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the story and the production. It wasn't too cheesy, the 
relationships felt authentic, and there was nice holiday cheer. There were a few scenes that I had felt
were a little over the top, with characters falling and wearing ridiculous outfits. However, this was a
sweet Christmas movie, one that is perfect compromise for those who like Hallmark movies and those
who don't.

I have provided an honest review after receiving a copy of the movie.
