WARNING! FRAUD ALERT! If you are about to snuggle up in
front of the DVD player to watch WhiteChristmas, be warned that it is not a Christmas movie. Except for the
opening minutes where Bing Crosby sings the song, and then, of course, the
closing minutes where the women in those beautiful red robes join in the
singing, there is no mention of Christmas. None. The plot has nothing to do
with Christmas. The story line is not about Christmas. Except for one brief
mention of doing their show on Christmas Eve, NO ONE SAYS A WORD ABOUT
CHRISTMAS in the entire movie. It’s a scam.
These movies are more about Christmas than White Christmas because they mention
Christmas or have more Christmas decorations in them:
Die Hard
Lethal Weapon
Dirty Harry
Gremlins
Trading Places
Goodfellas
When Harry Met Sally
Edward Scissorhands
Brazil
Batman Returns
The Godfather
for Pete’s sake.
Or even Life Of Brian.
I’m not saying White Christmas is not a good movie. I’m
just asking you to not be fooled. Watch Crosby sing White Christmas on YouTube if you must, but then go watch a real
Christmas movie, like Steve Martin in Mixed Nuts. You’ll thank me for it. Ho ho ho.
