Movie #2037 "The Town Christmas Forgot" - this film started as a bad copy of "Schitt's Creek" with a family relegated to stay in a one room hotel due to the weather (in this rendition), and everyone seemed to be overacting, except for the kids, who came across as real. The town tried to be cutesie and concocted some reason to keep the people there --- she was asked to choreograph the diner lady's musical number for a charity event that was supposed to put the town on the map --- her husband was a dolt and boring --- the father of the family ended up saving someone's life --- for some silly reason of falling through the floor (missed the reasoning behind that one) . Those two stories seemed far fetched. But the little girl meets up with a teen boy in the high school and ended up singing in his band, and that story was pushed a little, but ended up okay. But the story I most enjoyed was the little boy and the toy story owner who plays with trains and starts out as a grinch, or better yet a scrooge, and ends up Santa. I'd give this one a 3, and say I liked the boy's story the best. But you can "forget" this one, along with the town.
"THE TOWN CHRISTMAS FORGOT" 2010 1 hour and 24 minutes
On his way to a luxury resort for the Christmas holiday, banker Charles Benson's car breaks down, so his family gets stuck in Nowhere, Colorado, a sleepy town which seems to be dying since its mine closed. Son Nolan befriends the grumpy old former toy shopkeeper, and pushes the charmed grump to become the naturally perfect Santa in the Christmas pageant his mother helped organize despite the disheartened mayor. Charles gets stuck in the mine with the mechanic, whom he befriends, and ends up as the real Christmas benefactor.
