The Heart of Christmas

All the actors were great. Extremely liked Austin and his dad and mom. Hope to see them in other movie's! This movie will make you move on the inside with emotions. I am not an emontional person but watching what they all went thru and to see a mom and dad be so strong with the child of a disease the true parents if they are this strong God has to be with them.I hope that this movie will be one that the family looks forward to seeing every Christmas. I also believe that this movie should be viewed at youth detention centers. Maybe it would help the children who think they have a problem realize that they really don't. I pastor a church and have told my members to watch this movie with their children.

I created an account purely to submit a review because I am beyond shocked that this has any positive ratings.

1. It is most definitely an infomercial for St Judes. Nothing wrong with that hospital but this is a very long infomercial for them. Not a movie.

2. It is not about Christmas and barely addresses Christmas or any plot outside of the Infomercial. What little there is is very minimal and strung together

3. Candace Cameron Bure shouldn't be listed so highly in the list of actors in this movie. She's barely in it.

I see many other reviews have praised the acting but I don't understand why. It's awful acting and in many parts, awful writing too. I appreciate it's based on a true story and I don't want to take anything away from it, but I agree with one reviewer who said it's like a commercial for the hospital. If you're looking for a tear-jerker, there's way better films out there.

Watched this movie with my family. It truly is so well produced! The actors were just phenomenal. This movie has impacted all of our lives and has spurred on the will to try and help more children and more people who are suffering in this world.

Always love those who are nearest to you and cherish every moment!

The storyline was good, but the acting was definitely lacking.

VERY dry emotion.
