The Christmas Path

Santa Claus, upon seeing things on earth aren't going too smoothly, sends Baldazar, a fractious angel, as a remedy. Upon arrival, the angel displeases Santa and has his magic powers removed creating difficulties in helping an unemployed woman with a troublesome son and a daughter with an unbounded belief in Santa's angel. Not a bad show but a sickeningly sappy look at that wondrous thing, Christmas Spirit. Couldn't the make-up man find a wig that matched Spano's natural hair?

Although this is a good movie, it's not one of my favorites. It's very cute. However, the whole idea of Santa Claus sending angels to Earth bothers me. I'm Catholic, so I know that GOD is the One who send angels to look over us. If you get past that idea, the movie is pretty good. It never really gets going though. You keep waiting for something to happen, but it never does. I wouldn't recommend this movie unless you have a whole lot of time on your hands and have absolutely nothing else to do.
