Customer Reviews

Worth watching, not really for young children
This is a well acted, unusual storyline with a mother trying to give her broken family a good Christmas without them being aware of her own quite serious problems. It is not really a cheery film, more realistic and heartwarming.

Good for adults or older children, my 10 year old was able to understand it, but my 6 year old kept asking me what it all meant!

Lightweight but entertaining
I really liked this film. It was a feel-good film without being too cheesey. The plot is fairly predictable but that's not really a problem. This is a film I could time again. I wouldn't necessarily find anything new but I would be entertained.

What makes the movie is the cast. Sure, it's got Peter O'Toole but the best actor for me was Geoffrey Lewis playing the part of a man grieving for his dead son. Totally believable. In fact, the whole cast were great.

This is a film you can watch at any time of the year - don't wait until Christmas to buy this!

Emotional, great performances, especially the one of Peter O' Toole
As a collector of Thomas Kinkade Santa figurines, I was so happy to see his actual life story on a DVD. The story is quite amazing, like a fairytale. The actors' performances are exceptional and the plot keeps you on the chair waiting to see what's next.

Mr. Peter O' Toole made me cry once more.

It is really, not only a Xmas movie but an all seasons movie, full of life messages for everyone.

Excellent work!!
