The entire enterprise is sentimental and predictable, which goes without saying. What pulls it all together is what pulls together everything Dolly Parton touches: heartfelt emotion, un-ironic portrayals of modest sincerity (Nettles and Schroder are particularly effective), and a gift for turning treacle into musical gold.

The movie doesn't always take itself seriously. ... But with its dual messages of "hold your families close" and "always be kind," Dolly Parton's Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love is ultimately as sweet as the Whitman's Sampler the Parton kids get to dive into. Read full review

Once again written by Pamela K. Long and directed by Stephen Herek, it's not quite up to the mark of its predecessor, whose strengths were in ordinary domestic relations and challenges--a Smoky Mountains "Waltons." Read full review

Enjoy Colors for what it’s worth--for the message, the music and Parton's benevolent spirit. Just know there must be a better movie to be made about her life than NBC is offering. Read full review

While the filmmakers behind the Parton Christmas franchise (among them veteran daytime soap writer Pamela K. Long) have sprinkled some genuine moments in the story and made a great hire in casting Nettles as the tenacious Parton matriarch, they have inadvertently made their subject, the charismatic singer herself, into someone whose life you’d rather not hear about anymore.

Everything here is laid on twice as thick as it was in the first movie, delivering a story that’s more obnoxious than engaging. Read full review

It's all predictable, syrupy and--at times--just downright stupid. Among the worst moments is the appearance of Parton herself. Read full review

I got to say at first glance this just looks like another family Christmas movie but let me tell ya it is much much more not only was the movie charming funny and sweet but teaches young and old about the value of being better to give than receive and seeing things threw other people'sI got to say at first glance this just looks like another family Christmas movie but let me tell ya it is much much more not only was the movie charming funny and sweet but teaches young and old about the value of being better to give than receive and seeing things threw other people's prospective just a wonderful lesson taught by a wonderful lady .little Dolly is a little firecracker sure to delete with her smart aleck attitude and hilarious comebacks the whole Parton family are a good example of the spirit of Christ and Christmas this is a true present from Dolly to the world what a wonderful movie fits just right for Christmas time I say watch it even if you think it's old-fashioned or too preachy for your taste watch it anyway u will be delighted that you desided too… Expand

The Parton family's Christmas preparation!

A follow-up to Dolly Parton's 'Coat of Many Colours'. This time it is a Christmas theme. As usual the tale was told from young Dolly's view. The Parton family is readying for the festival. The list is long what everybody wants for Christmas. ButThe Parton family's Christmas preparation!

A follow-up to Dolly Parton's 'Coat of Many Colours'. This time it is a Christmas theme. As usual the tale was told from young Dolly's view. The Parton family is readying for the festival. The list is long what everybody wants for Christmas. But time to sacrifice for something more important for family than individuals. Everybody contributes, yet does not meet the requirement. So the extra adventure begins, on one end the father takes a risky job far away from home and Dolly decides to sing on the streets. The remaining story is to tell how it all ends.

I saw it when the Christmas is just 30 days away. A perfect season to watch such film. But it was an okay film. Being a Christian film, the previous one did not bother me. But this one went out of the control, like it became a fantasy. Yeah, the end was un-believable for a film based on the real. I always like to see on the screen how a family struggles against the odds, but being reality is most matters. It just slipped away in a few occasions, including at the end twist. Still a nice film for families. All the cast had returned and they all were good. Directed by the same filmmaker. One time watchable film.
