Critic Reviews for White Christmas

Audience Reviews for White Christmas

• Dec 23, 2020

  The Irving Berlin songs, Michael Curtiz's meticulous direction on a Vistavision canvas and the super-silly plot line are not for all... but I love every note, frame and plot point.

  Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye brighten up the season with the holiday musical White Christmas. When two music producers scout out a sister duo they end up following them to Vermont where they run into their former army commander and decide to put on a show at his inn. Both Cosby and Kaye give good performances and work well as a comedy team. Also, the songs and dances (though contrived at times) are well-done and bring a certain energy and charm to the film. And while it may get a little sentimental at times, it has a positive and an uplifting message. Whimsical and fun, White Christmas is a heartwarming family film.

  It's not without some charm or fun musical numbers but I've never been able to get past how much of film shamelessly uses cheap sentiment to sell it's already corny plot.

  Gen. Waverly: There's no Christmas in the army, captain. White Christmas is a great Christmas classic and a fantastic musical. It has a story that's not too Christmassy but still manages to sum up the whole idea of what Christmas should be about. I'm not the biggest fan of musicals, but when I do see one I enjoy, it's always a treasure. This is a new favorite of mine when it comes to the holiday season.  Two army friends create a song and dance act that becomes extremely successful. When they go to see a sister act, Phil decides to try to hook Bob up with one of the sisters. They end up going with the Haynes sisters to Vermont where they are to play a show at an inn. This inn ends up being owned by Bob and Phil's commanding general from their army days and things aren't looking great for the general. Since there's no snow to speak of, his inn is completely empty and it looks like he could lose it. Bob and Phil decide to do a show there in order to attract people and they end up coming up with an idea that will be a great gift for their beloved general. White Christmas is a beautiful movie with endearing performances and some pretty good song and dance numbers. Fans of old musical will love it, as should people who don't really care for this sort of thing normally. It's easy to see why this movie is so highly regarded when it comes to the Christmas season. It's a great holiday movie to sit down with the family to.
