Tim S @Tsutton1 Dec 24 I watch a lot of movies - this was the worst one I have seen in 20 years. Bad on so many levels - poor acting, a disjointed story, and a confusing ending. Don’t waste your time on this trash See more Stephen C @bob25009 Nov 25 Success in 01 hour, 36 minutes, and 16 seconds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See more Ken R 04/29/2023 Christmas Child – What Answers Are There To A Mysterious Past? A good friend bought me this film on DVD, it was not one I had known but watched out of curiosity, turning out to be quite a surprise. It didn't particularly sound like much but with a story by prolific writer Max Lucado thought it might have something to offer. Then there was the Director William Ewing, a big production directorial honcho at Sony Pictures with a string of massive hits under his name. Ewing, gave up the fame and fortune to start his own not-for-profit production company! An admirable move indeed. As soon as this film began the production values were obvious, cinematography by Spanish-born Fernando Arguellies offering highly stylized visuals, fetchingly compiled music score, and strong performances from a varied professional cast - telling the story of an adopted big city journalist searching for a connection to his past history. His search begins with only a mysterious photograph left to him by his departed father. The adapted screenplay may have omitted some details from the original story as there are a couple of odd situations that transpire during his search - these leave some things a little up in the air. But the story was intriguing enough to keep the viewer interested, and apart from the odd bits it was highly entertaining (maybe it needs a second viewing to sort out some fine details, occasionally stories can be like that?). If wanting a rest from the endless comic book superheroes, car chases, and explosions, this thoughtful film is a refreshing contender.

Some holes in the story that never get resolved, but, still worth watching See more 11/27/2012 Heart-warming and encouraging! See more 12/18/2011 A brilliant story from Max Lucado that makes the real meaning of Christmas shine. See more Read all reviews
