A Smoky Mountain Christmas (1986)

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

I grew up watching this movie and it is now one of my favorite Christmas movies of all times. I have found it on DVD and am excited to own it. It shows that what really matters about Christmas isn't the gifts, its who you spend it with and how you spend it. I love the simpleness of the messages taught. It is an older movie so it might seem outdated but the important thing about this movie is the plot and the important message it carries. I would love to be able to get the soundtrack. I don't know who has the rights but it would be a wonderful addition to anyone's Christmas Music Collection. The songs are what make the movie so memorable.

This has been a #1 family favorite for years and we have looked everywhere but can not find a copy to buy. Does anyone know where I can go to buy a few copies on DVD for my family? If you know where I can go to buy this movie please post it on this site I will keep checking for updates. This truly my favorite Christmas movie of all time it just doesn't feel like Christmas until we watch it and now our copies we taped from TV years ago are worn out so badly that it is not possible to watch it anymore. I think this is a great movie that shows what Christmas is truly about and it's not presents it's being together and caring for one another there is so little of that these days and Dolly's music and character bring joy and laughter to all. We love to watch Dolly in all her movies and her music brings joy to us all.

I watched this film for the first time on the Hallmark Channel last week and it is now a permanent fixture in my video collection, please please bring it out on DVD in the UK. As always Dolly Parton's warmth shines through, making this a great family film. Yes the acting is not tops but the simple sets, the innocence of the kids and the general easy going story makes it perfect. An added bonus is Dolly's singing, it is straight from the heart and gives you the feeling of watching a part of Dolly's childhood. Yes as usual she is done up to the nines and wanders around the Smoky Mountains in her high heels but that is part of the charm and whimsy of Dolly and this film, just take it for what it is, "ENTERTAINMENT" that all the family can watch and feel a part of . A Great Christmas family country classic leaving you feeling the warmth of Christmas!!

This is one of the BEST Christmas movies my family and I have seen in a long time. Dolly Parton brings out the true meaning of Christmas. I have been searching for it but can't seem to find it for sale anywhere. If it ever does show up I know we will be buying it.
