Sick Product of a Sick System

Good start, but then it gets ruined

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Great film, not the best Christmas movie of all time, but absolutely one that warms the spirit and makes you appreciate the simple things in life, and those you share it all with. The film contains a great deal of moral fiber and contains many useful lessons for life and sensing the importance of making your feelings known to those you love, because one never knows how long one will have to do so. The acting performances are definitely noteworthy, and above the average par of TV network programming.I didn't see it on TV this past Holiday season, and was disappointed I must admit. I hope to sit down, together with my wife, in front of a warm fire amidst a serene snowfall next Christmas and enjoy it together.Enthusiastically Recommended.

Its a great movie for Ladies also for men, but in my opinion its more of a chick flick. No offense to anyone out there.... My advice: have a box of Kleenex next to you, when you watch it. It was well done/ well written. I just saw this movie last week for the first time in a while, it was terrific. Kristin Davis did an amazing job, like she always does. Tim Meadows also did a great job here. So did the other actors. :) The movie gives you drama, leaves you wondering whats going to happen next. It has good morals to it.It has a good ending. i totally think people should see this movie. Its great for the family.

Watchable and feel-good in the "It's a Wonderful Life" style, but nowhere near as clever as It's a Wonderful Life. Stereotyped characters, script is sugary and predictable, a 10 year old could have written it. Overall, not one to pay to watch.It had everything you would expect from a sugary movie - an irritating angel, snow, Christmas trees, children and candy, saving a child's life (including a very bad demonstration of CPR - you wouldn't save anybody's life if you did it like that), childhood reminiscences, parental reconciliations, refusal to participate in an extra-marital affair, morality lessons etc, etc.

Why are American filmmakers always compelled to force happy endings? This one's not even necessary (probably), but the producers must have felt it desperately needed, for they kept making the ending blatantly obvious, and more so as the movie went on. As for the movie, it got better towards the end as you feel more for the characters. I'd give it a B- just for potential. You'll be left wondering if YOU can do a better job, though.
