Faye W I love this movie! It has all the family drama, beautiful snow, old home with lots of character, small town charm. It has a classic Christmas movie feel. I don't know how I could forget the beautiful music score (perfect). It's a true Christmas gem and a great family movie all in one. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/07/23 Full Review bradford william y An OUTSTANDING Christmas story ... family, love, commitment, redemption. GREAT script, cast, direction, filming, editing. An absolute classic ... a must see. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I like Christmas movies but this really was schmaltzy dross. Very little imagination used with the story and plot and the father was such a one dimensional saccharine character it was difficult to form much emotional attachment to this film. No real time spent to dwell on how exactly the mother was able to come back which would have at least lifted this slightly. More made for the dumpster than for TV. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow, what a bad movie. They tried to make a good kids family movie, and what did they make? A cliche filled travesty, that's what. Music played at almost every scene, even the scenes that were pointless, so when it got around revealing the mother, I thought it was going to be pretty magical, with music and drama, you know, the stuff that was in EVERY SCENE BEFORE IT, BUT NO!!!! All it was was you hear a voice, the girl turns around, and the mom was there with food in her hands. No music or drama in the only scene that needed it. *Screams*. The acting was horrible and the only person that was both played at least decent and was likable named Buddy, who was played by, get this, Ronny Cox. So, this movie is horrible, plain and simple. But, if you own a copy, I wouldn't be too disappointed, because you could sell it on eBay for, what, 3 bucks? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow, what a bad movie.
