For once I could watch a movie just for fun. It actually reminded me some of "Sweet Home Alabama". Another movie I could relax and enjoy. I could enjoy "Jingle Belle" with my grandkids and not have to worry what they're seeing or hearing for one moment. The movie might be called "quaint", but when I was growing up it would have been the norm for a family movie. Quaint is just fine in my book, especially for a Christmas movie.

I often think about this show. It was an amazing show and sometimes for an eight year old it was pretty scary. I remember one show where someone was walking through an alley and you just knew something bad was going to happen. I walked through an alley like that on my way home from school. After seeing that showed I walked through it really fast. I wish these shows were on DVD. I would love to see the episodes again.

I must confess the ONLY reason I bought this film was because I live in Sealy, TX, and some of the scenes were shot a few blocks from my house. Considering all the preparations made to the buildings in downtown Sealy for this film, I was disappointed to discover very little of the town was actually shown in the movie. It seems a lot of effort for so little, but I'm sure the city administration was happy just getting Sealy in the credits. As for the movie itself, really not my cup of tea. I don't like these kinds of films at all. But I will say I thought the acting was as good as it could be considering the script moved like a pregnant snail and the dialog was often very weak.
