Good concept, poorly executed.

A Masterpiece!

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

This has been out since 2003 and I never saw it until last night. It is a good movie...one that will bring back memories to some and will make younger ones think and yet it has a good ending. Everyone should watch this at least once and maybe make it a Christmas classic with all the other Christmas movies. It will be a good movie for those who are young all the way to those who are elderly. To me this is a movie that you sit together as a family with a bowl of fresh popped popcorn and afterward ask your children what they thought and what their favorite part of the movie was. Then ask them what they think about friendship. The skating also in the movie was very good to watch. It is definitely a movie worth watching over and over.

This is pretty high on the cheese-o-meter, even for those of us who love family films. Characters were fairly one-dimensional and it was never clear just why Blizzards' gifts were not celebrated since they were considered to be very special things for reindeer to have. I liked the skates being yellow, it was a nice detail.Katies' brothers were little pills and I wish the parents would have taken a better hand in controlling them. It seemed that even before Katie moved she had no friends, and the current daughter (Jess?) was never really explored why she was so upset when Bobby moved. Did she have no other friends? Did they not have telephones? I disagree with another viewers comment about the pierced ears. Perhaps in Canada this occurs later but I assure the viewer that in the Pacific Northwest of the United States girls have their ears pierced anywhere from birth on up, even as early as my own at age 13 in 1971.This is a movie that young children can enjoy as a Christmas tradition without anything objectionable for parents to be concerned about. All in all, a reasonable choice for families.

We used to watch and love Reading Rainbow. LeVar Burton does family shows very well! We loved Blizzard and it was so refreshing to see a movie that deserves to be called a family movie. We need more movies like this that allow children to enjoy and remain innocent at the same time.I was waiting for something objectionable because there's usually something slipped in that's unnecessary and makes it a negative for children. Most 'childrens' movies are only appropriate for adults and this was a pleasant surprise.This was a wonderful movie for the whole family!

This movie touched me emotionally like so few do. The story line in itself was just very wonderful. There are few that can not relate to loosing a friend. I thought it was one of the best Christmas movies I have seen in a long time. It might not be enough for those who need fast action movies but for those that like a good story it is the best. I recommend it highly. It is a great family film; children and adults should love it. I felt it was as good as Miracle on 34th Street and It's a Wonderful Life. This will be a Christmas classic.
