      Audience Member Absolutely love this Christmas movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review luis g Charles Durning is the standout by far. Everyone else is quite passable, but as a whole, the ensemble works fairly well, and the leading characters are quite memorable. As long as you don't expect anything too groundbreaking, this can be a trademark TV movie for the Christmas season. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member great movie. i believe in santa. :-) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member It is a wonderful movie.
