Tammy S This is the number one under rated Christmas movie of all time. Thoroughly enjoyable feel good slice of life movie that can be watched with the whole family of any ages. Better yet, it is a true story! A must watch for an enjoyable couple of hours. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/25 Full Review Ishara L I stopped paying attention to it after 15 minutes and put it on in the background while I did something else. I got the gist of it well enough. Interestingly enough, the best thing in this is Danny Aiello. He seems to have cut out this corner for himself for playing troubled fathers/partners and he's pretty good in that. Having to navigate the family dynamic while keep his rebellious, but lucky son, in check. All in all, I enjoy the story behind it. It's interesting that all this really happened and that then the guy who it happened to acts in the movie as a full blown character and wrote it. I guess if you win 6 million dollars, some doors open up for you. A standard early 90s drama movie that doesn't bring much to the game besides some good acting. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/25 Full Review Farah R It's a simple, feel-good film about the American dream with a dash of Christmas spirit. For all its pleasant qualities, 29th Streat gets tedious with all the yelling and yapping. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/03/24 Full Review Orange Oleander R I loved this feel-good movie, and don't understand why the movie isn't ever shown. It has terrific actors, and a great plot. It's not a Christmas movie, but it would play very well in December. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/28/23 Full Review Audience Member After winning $6.2 million Frank Pesce Jr. is changed He's not too pleased being this lucky given everything else that's happened to him Frank has been lucky from the day of his birth, when his mother gives birth to him in a different hospital than planned -- only to have the first facility burn down Growing up in an Italian neighborhood in Queens, Frank's irresponsible ways and good fortune irritate his hard-working but luckless father, Frank Pesce Sr. This lottery win now angers Frank's father, now it's up to him what to do with the ticket He recalls his life to his financial debt problems to his father's gambling Who's the real winner, who's the real loser? The rocky relationship between the father and son is the glue that keeps this movie afloat Even if the narrative feels more like a Scorsese picture than anything, Anthony Lapaglia and the late Danny Aiello are terrific conflicting forces dealing with how to handle things One has dreams while the other has theirs shattered therefore stepping on his Either one man has to be older, smarter and wiser It's never too late for a Christmas miracle on 29th Street Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review ari v Requires some suspension of judgement around the edges, but, if you manage - there's myriad delightfully lived-in little neighborhood treasures inbetween.
