WONDERFULLY TOUCHING FOR THE CHRISTMAS SEASON
By A13F2IV3ME23R on 2004-12-29
Yup! fueding brothers - I don't think they even understand why.
Willow Creek - a little town in Alaska that is losing its Christmas spirit.
A teenage boy feeling rejected by his father [Tom Wopat] and not knowing how to express himself.
Then we have Pete's ex-girlfriend and Ray's estranged wife - talk about a mix-up. Complete with flash-backs to bring us up-to-date.
Their father's partner asks the men to drive a semitruck load of christmas gifts north to Alaska - to put their fueding aside for this run.
Of course, Ray [John Schneider] takes a little side trip to Reno much to his nephews glee. Yup! trouble again.
Of prime importance is the lose of "Christmas Spirit" both in the town of Willow Creek and by the brothers.
The slide of the semi into a snow bank was sure worth it.
How it comes back into their lives is the wonderful point of the story, an amazingly touching.
Definitely Recommended +++++
Not What I Expected
By A1G8QGRLB1QJW5 on 2003-11-22
I was disappointed with this one...the storyline was okay, but I was surprised at the amount of foul language. It says "not-rated", so it's a little misleading. If you're particular about what your kids see these days, I'd skip this one. I would not consider it a good, "family Christmas movie". There are too many that are much better to fill that category. If you find it at a library or rent it for a night, you might want to see it, but it's not worth the selling price.

Pete and Ray are brothers who are involved in a long standing feud which started when Ray married Pete's ex-girlfriend. Pete was already upset over his wife leaving and saw this as a double betrayal. Pete's son, Michael, was also hurt at his mother's exit and got into trouble with the police. Christmas provisions have to be delivered to Alaska which means Pete and Ray have to work together. On the way they have to stop to pick up Ray's estranged Wife who is pregnant. On the journey they have to learn to forgive each other because only by working together can they survive the journey. Tom Wopat and John Schneider are excellent as feuding brothers who love each other really. Kim Delaney is perfect as the alienated and pregnant wife. Zachary Ansley is great as the rebellious teenage son. Hoyt Axton is fantastic as their late father's business partner. If you like warm and fuzzy moments then you will love this film. A great film for all the family.
Christmas Season
By A4HN2BZNK2BT3 on 2002-01-01
This movie reminds us of the reasons for the Holiday season. It brings back the family and should be watched by adults and children of all ages. It is a current movie that updates "It is a Wonderful Life" with Jimmy Stewart. I can't begin my Holiday season without watching this movie. My children look forward to watching this movie every year and they are now teenagers. I highly recomend this movie.
Great Holiday Movie
By A3U2H6C1MOY2S6 on 2001-11-02
"Christmas comes to Willow Creek" is a great holiday movie that the entire family can enjoy. John Schneider and Tom Wopat (Dukes of Hazzard) star as battling brothers, who only through the spirit of Christmas are able to end their fued, and save the town of Willow Creek. A must see for anyone filled with the joy of Christmas.

Pete and Ray are brothers. They have to transport christmas provisions to Alaska. Pete and Ray have been involved in a feud for a while. On the way Pete has to deal with a rebellious son,
a brother who is a magnet for trouble and his ex-girlfriend who is now his sister-in-law. Ray has to deal with an alienated and pregnant wife. Ray was afraid of the awesome responsibility of parenthood and he was also worried he wouldn't be as good a father as his brother was. Pete's son, Michael, was still hurt because his mother had left a year ago. This film is about people who have to learn to forgive each other for various things. Only by working together can they survive the journey!
Tom Wopat and John Schneider are excellent as feuding brothers.
Hoyt Axton is great as Pete and Ray's late father's business partner. Kim Delaney is perfect as the estranged and pregnant wife. Zachary Ansley is fantastic as the disrupted teenager.
If you like warm and fuzzy moments you will love this. With John
Schneider and Tom Wopat starring in it what more could you want in a film?
- John and Tom Reunited In A Great Family Film!
By ASWLSGWTFCSNM on 2000-08-16
This movie is great for the family. There is a little bad language in it if I recall correctly but it's still a great movie, nevertheless. It was the first time John and Tom were working together since the "Dukes". I purchased it and would definetly recommend others to do the same!

- Been looking for it for years.
By A9IU3KG85WTG8 on 2004-12-14
I actually saw this movie when it first came out. I was 14 years old. I've been trying to remember the name and find it ever since. I'm now 31 and just found and ordered it, I can't wait for it to come. I remember it as being a wonderfully touching movie about two brothers at odds with one another. A movie that shows how people who really love one another can put aside their differences and come together. Once again this are just what I remember from watching this movie more than 15 years ago, I can't wait to get it!!!
- Keep on Truckin' this Christmas
By A3UI70L5PH651 on 2005-12-16
What a great story... Two brothers must find a common bond to bring joy to a town down on their luck. And we are not talking about the girl that they both love.
When it comes to Christmas movies, this is one of them. This movie warms my heart.
Plus can you go wrong with a movie staring the guy who wrote, "Joy To The World?" Cause Jeremiah really was a bullfrog.
The only sad thing about this movie is that there is no soundtrack on CD format.

I liked this movie when I was a child and I recently watched it again. It's a good movie...it's not a masterpiece by any means but it's a good watch,especially on those cold days before Christmas.

- Enjoyable Christmas Viewing
By A3C0Q265YEOIYY on 2007-01-09
This movie is bordering on overly sentimental and overacting. Despite this, it is one of my favorite Christmas movies. The basic message of importance of family and loyalty, as well as the Christmas spirit, shine. This movie is an exellent Christmas memory to keep forever.
- Great storyline-

I watched this movie some years ago and the next time it was on TV, I recorded it. I watch it every Christmas. I was very happy to find I could buy it on DVD instead of watching my old recording. It is a thought provoking story and the problems are very real today.

Perfect family Christmas story showing how one crusty friend brings together a strife ridden family and helps a floundering town in the process.
- Made For The Whole Family Movie
By A3GE5567BN36AH on 2007-06-02
This is a GREAT Christmas movie. It is clean, inspiring, and warms the heart. It is TOTALLY appropriate for anyone of any age. I bought this movie for my Mother for Christmas because she had seen it before and wanted to see it again. She LOVES Tom Wopat and John Shneider. It is rare in this day and age to find a movie that can portray a family with troubles working out the troubles without a lot of violence and filthy language...this movie does just that. There is a fight scene, but no blood and gore. My whole family enjoyed this movie.
