One of the best Christmas movies ever., 7 January 2006
10/10
Author: kentclan from United States

The wife and I both watched the movie awhile back and thoroughly enjoyed it.This movie brought on the true meaning and spirit of Christmas that is within all of us if we would only nurture it. The sequel was also quite heartwarming. This is sure to be a Christmas classic to watch every year and will be one I'm sure along with the other great ones. The story was well written and flowed smoothly along with no twists and mundane added scenes or unnecessary ones.The acting by all cast members was superb and well delivered.Heartwarming it definitely was and a tearjerker to boot.This is the type movie that should be watched during the year and not just at Christmas as the story is so appealing to us all.I hope to see it very soon on DVD in the USA.
