This is the first Christmas movie my sweet fiancé and I have watched for 2018. We love Hallmark-esque Christmas movies, and I had this one in a box set. She chose it, out of all the movies in the set, and we were not disappointed whatsoever.
It's got some small issues in the acting, especially with how Roma Downey seems like she doesn't want to be here at all, nor do I understand why ANYONE would be able to fall in love with her character. But our lead actor and the orphans he takes care of are pretty much all enjoyable, and heartwarming.
This was definitely a sweet film, but there is a plot twist I'm not sure I liked very much, even though it was definitely in the Hallmark mentality.
Not many Christmas films in these box sets I own tend to FEEL like Christmas movies, but this one definitely does. I love the orphanage house, and the decorations that get put-up inside it. It just made this film more special.
Yeah, it's a little cheesy for some people, but I actually prefer flicks like this. No cursing, no sexual content I have to worry about letting my kids hear (if I'm blessed with them, some day). It's a nice, cozy, Christmas family film.
Props to the folks who worked on this flick.
