Jeff M As a movie critic, I can't quite give this a recommendation. As a human being, I think the values portrayed here are perfect for Christmastime viewing. If only the movie itself weren't yet another HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN/TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL wannabe that shoves its message down your throat like grandma's Christmas cobbler. I'm all for a motion picture with good family values, but there's a fine line between screenplay and sermon. Production values and acting are 80s TV level mediocre. That being said, I don't know who this Tayla Lynn is - she comes across like a country singer trying to transition into acting - but she has a pleasant presence onscreen. The biggest problem I had with this film was the editing. This is a badly edited movie. The film already feels 20 minutes too long without having multiple scenes of a young girl making faces in the mirror and a romantic subplot with Lynn's co-worker that doesn't add a single solitary thing to the production as a whole. Another minor quibble - throughout the movie children run up to Nicolosi yelling "Santa! Santa!". I'm sorry - he doesn't look like Santa. He looks like an actor on hiatus growing a salt and pepper beard. Had the screenplay been less meandering and production values a bit more inspired, this could have been something more special. As it is, it's a safe, mediocre movie that won't offend anyone - and I suppose that isn't all that bad nowadays. You'll appreciate the message but you won't remember the movie.
