Lucy Shimmers and the Prince of Peace

Whether you enjoy this film depends on your ability to ignore the (let's be honest) pretty awful manipulative and syrupy script and soundtrack and focus on the film's message.

It's not a good film in many ways - it's not remotely realistic and works on clichéd tropes. Lucy's pathetic cough made me smile though, the creepy grandpa who seemed to be pining to be back on the ranch, the security guy who appears to oblivious to everything around him and my favourite - Bart who had been polishing the same square of flooring for several years!

But we despite the formulaic offerings, it does make you think about the innocence of children, the bond of families, hope, faith and forgiveness. It would be great to be everyone's friend, wouldn't it?

Alas that little souls such as Lucy Shimmers do not make a difference in this way - but they do on a smaller scale.

So - if you want a proficient and skilful film then you will not get it here but if you are prepared to just go with the sentiment, then go on - have a little weep and offer up some thanks that love comes in so many forms. Films are often a fantasy based on truth and so I am pleased to have met Lucy Shimmers. You might care to meet her too.

Well done!!!!! This movie of faith, is well written and even better directed as evidenced by the superb performance by the little star. You don't get that kind of delivery without expert direction, so kudos to the directors. The film is cute, heartwarming, uplifting and yet is still a real tear-jerker. In the great sea of modern films, this one stands out for its ability to deal with some very hard issues without the vulgarity, nudity and drug use common to the industry. THANK YOU

A bit of a slow start and the acting is a bit mechanical at first, but little Lucy is adorable and the end of the movie was very moving. A beautiful reminder that although God does not necessarily saves us from pain, He can use all things to do good. A Christian Christmas feel good movie with a sad yet heartwarming end.
