12/22/2013 Available on Netflix now See more 12/23/2011 A good movie to watch during the holidays. It's obviously not a Hollywood blockbuster which is a given with it's Hallmark attachment, but a wholesome flick that the whole family will enjoy. See more 12/08/2011 It was a pretty cool film, somehow it just did not add up to me. That child (who ran away) needed help, that type of erratic behavior is not normal. It did not fit. I'm sorry just didn't do it for me. See more 12/04/2011 Very good. Great ending. Loved the inspiration it gave me to hope for a blessed future. See more 10/14/2011 I love movies, but I've mostly avoided Hallmark Hall of Fame telefilms. I say "mostly" because my mom loves them, and I've watched some with her. They were good flicks, but I just couldn't get enthused about them the way I did about "Spider-Man 2" or "Harriet the Spy: Blog Wars". However, I decided to give "Silver Bells" a try. What did I think? It was great in some ways, not so much in others. The entire cast did a wonderful job, and the crew deserves kudos for making an L.A. soundstage in the summer resemble New York City in the middle of December. The story, although slow-moving, was very touching and emotional. As someone who has lost an immediate family member, I can understand how the characters in this movie felt. It's also great to see a Yuletide-themed movie that doesn't even mention Santa Claus or getting gifts, two themes that have been overdone in previous Christmas flicks. It was also nice to see Nickelodeon mega-star Victoria Justice in her pre-"Victorious" days as a secondary character. On the other side of the coin, the film was quite pokey. "Silver Bells" has a runtime of less than 100 minutes, but it took me at least three sittings to get through it. So, my opinion? Unless you're a fanatic about Anne Heche or Yuletide flicks, or you just have to own everything Victoria Justice ever starred in, I can only recommend a rental. See more 12/28/2010 Why... I should have trusted my sister's movie schedule and skip this.... the only point for Leica-camera, NYC and the pretty photographs. The rest of it was just stupid. See more Read all reviews
