Reviews for White Christmas
Director Michael Curtiz has made his picture look good. It is too bad that it doesn't hit the eardrums and the funnybone with equal force.

The whole thing is rather forced and antiseptically cheerful.

Feels...like the time of night where it's almost time for bed, the fire in the fireplace is beginning to die and the house seems just a little cold.

Though it's not as satisfying as it might have been, it still boasts great stars and catchy songs in addition to a love story, and is a perennial holiday favorite.

This was the Mamma Mia! of its day, a nostalgic blast of popular Irving Berlin showtunes gift-wrapped in new-fangled VistaVision that danced its way to the top of the 1954 box office.

Paramount’s first film in (lavender-hued) VistaVision was this pornographically soppy but, nonetheless, hearty and humorous 1954 festive romp.

A new score by Irving Berlin also contributed to its marzipan popularity. But it’s the title song that really produced lasting gold. That and the fake snow.
