Are those masses for real?
I've never been to a mass that one shown in the movie in which everyone holds a candle, even on Christmas Day. Was that just done for the movie or do churches really do that? If so, when?
shareI've been to a church that does candlelit Christmas Eve services every year.
shareWhere was that? In other words, was it was in an urban city or rural town?
shareMy church does them every year on christmas eve. I actually lived in Three Oaks, Michigan (where the movie was filmed) until I was 16 and then moved up the road 20 miles to Stevensville, Michigan. Both are small towns, Stevensville is just more suburban than Three Oaks. I think it just happens to be a denominational thing, I happen to be Lutheran and I know my Catholic friends have Candlight Services too.

i used to live in new orleans and we did it every year for christmas

Candelit xmas masses generally occur during the Lent period and others (in catholique cermonies that is). Although as a jew i would have to get this confirmed. I will check this with my mate Mel.
What makes thiis mass scene unqiue is the main girl's downright horrible singing voice (how grate thowwww aaaaart) and the fact that her mullet/Carol friend gets b*tchslapped by her mama in the foreground for making hardcore soapopera style facial expressions during the proceedings.
She is not a big mouth. I loved Carol and her pseudo wave munt haircut. Good on her!
She rocks and I would love to befriend a crazy lookin welfare kid like Carol. Love this movie... especially when the main chick's dad goes mental and tries to shoot the dear, but as it disappears he realises that dragging his daughter back to the pickup truck by her neck is just as much fun. And when she almost kills herself hanging xmas lights on that lonely nanna's rooftop. What a B*tch, telling her to move it over to the left when clearly there is no harness to hold her to that half a metre ledge. At least she made $15 (and was only expecting $5). Nanna was very generous considering the main chick thought it was only worth a ten doller job!
Love this movie.

PS- The mullet kid from Jurassic Park had such good curls and screen presence as an atheist who denied the existance of heaven. Best kid actor ever!!!
mrhysterium, isn't it a little inappropriate to mention terms like main 'chick'...and such? I mean...she was only a child of 9 when the movie was shot.
Anyway, love this movie too. Supperb acting. she (Rebecca) really was the best ever child actor. even better than the kid in Home Alone.
Thank you for your prompt response.
Bradman-neelabh, please be aware that when I selected word's to describe 'the main chick', I placed particular emphasis on choosing phrases and nouns that were both appropriate, politically correct and not paedophilic in the slightest.
Chick, being a young bird of domestic fowl is a noun comparitive to the word 'child'; A person between birth and puberty. Both words, of course, synonymous with youth, innocence, and childhood - just like our Jessica Riggs ("the main chick").
My apologies for your misconcepton. I would hate to be construed as a lonely forum poster who lusts after pre-pubescent child starlets.

OOPS...
mrhysterium, I must tell you I'm terribly sorry for having wrongly accused you. To be honest enough, I really thought about what I'd written and started getting a feeling that what I wrote really made sense or not. I certainly didn't mean to offend anybody -sorry if I did.
But you see, there are infact a lot of other dudes who really take advantage of this message posting and write....in a sense...which I had mentioned previously....that's really hurting to see.
You see, I've got this habit of reading most of the letters being posted and I've gone through a lot of them which contains unnecessary words being said about some of these celebs...and even young children like our 'main chick'. And when I thought you were like one among them, I just wanted to know what they actually want to talk or share about, and wrote a silly letter in a formal way. Naturally I should have expected your kind of a response too...
I'd like to be in touch with you. I'm a great Prancer fan just like you.
Once again sorry for that stupid letter. -Regards
No worries, love!
Happy new year, bradman-neelabh.. I'm gonna go get my haircut. Do you think my stylist would have heard of the 'Carol Weatherby' look?? Curly on top, straight on the sides & back? I hope so...
-Brando-
Thanks, mrhysterium.
Wish you a very happy new year too. Sure thing your hair stylist would know the Carol look, if she's having the same hairstyle now. Actually, I myself would have done it if I had long hair. I always used to be crazy about my hairstyle
By the way Prancer really is one of my favorite movies. Rebecca Harrell was indeed adorable and splendid for her charecter and was perfect for the role. I hope she must have been the same in real life as well.
Have you watched Prancer Returns? -it came out around five years ago. I'd really like to see it but so far I've heard about it, it was disappointing, and was worse than the original. Interestingly, it's about a little boy in Jesse's place and he runs after a baby reindeer and finds an old reindeer dead, and a person tells him that it was Prancer and ten years ago a little girl named Jessica Riggs took care of it here in the same town, and the baby is Prancer's .....and so the boy names him Prancer........ they say it's funnier than the original, and not as sad and touching as the first part.
There mustn't have been a second part.....the fisrt itself is complete, and it's a lovely movie too.
I go to a rural Presbyterian church and we have candlelight services on Christmas Eve. I thought it was unusual that they did it during the day...we actually cut the lights and sing just by the candles. I thought these services were common...I guess I was wrong?
shareThe past several Christmases I've attended midnight candlelit services at a Methodist church. I live in Memphis and that's a pretty big city and there are lots of churches with them. You just have to look for them, I guess.
