Jeff M This above-average TV movie originally made for TNT somehow manages to take the true and tired cliches we've come to expect from myriad other holiday movies and create something that feels a little bit new and different. There are certainly echoes of A CHRISTMAS CAROL here, among other seasonal staples, but credit to Lowe for creating a protagonist for whom we both cheer and lambast because of his choices. I imagine it's quite difficult to make a character who retains his likability even when he makes life choices that are obviously not the best, but Lowe's journey is one we follow quite willingly. And he is ably supported by a wonderful supporting cast, particularly the always reliable Conroy. Without giving away too much, the only big drawback I have involved a character played by Christopher Lloyd. The performance is fine, but the whole plot device involving his character, particularly the Shyamalan-esque explanation at the end, doesn't feel as realistic as the rest of the movie and definitely strains credibility. But overall, I was surprisingly impressed with this movie, and while I'm not going to put Lowe in the pantheon of DeNiro and Pacino, I'm beginning to think he's an underrated actor who just hasn't made the wisest of choices in the past. This is definitely one of his better ones. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/24 Full Review Steve T Well made. A family film. Very enjoyable. I have a daughter who is a model. We watched it together. The message is as great as the story. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved it, and not just because I produced it! Bezinga!
