I really don't get all bad user reviews of this movie. I loved it.

It's a completely different story; one that I've certainly never seen told before. It's well executed and the acting is superb.

All the characters are totally believable and you quite honestly don't know who your should be rooting for. It's a film full of completely unlikeable people.

The pace of the movie is also good. There's not a single section of the movie that feels out of place or unnecessary. It's also shot really well.

So what gives with all the bad reviews? I really don't understand what people expect from a movie. A super hero movie? A quest with a happy ending with everything all tied up in a bow? This movie certainly isn't any of those.

But if you'd like to see a different story that been well made and might open your eyes to some things then give this movie a go IMHO. I for one really enjoyed it.

Yes it's a Christmas movie. Yes it's based on a British kid's TV show. No surprises here. However there's so much to love about the show and this movie.

Henry Winkler is so very great; worth watching just for him. Felicity Montagu does a sterling job as the main antagonist. The boy who plays Hank inhabits the role.

It's often kinda slap stick and heavy on the tropes, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but its positive messages about family, being your best self and being kind to others that really wins it for me.

You could do far worse than spending the time to watch the show or this movie.

I really loved this series. It really pulls are your heart strings. I cried at least once every episode. Anyone with half a heart should watch it.

All the cast did an absolutely brilliant job, with the two kids (3 actually) and Todd giving stand out performances. I've always found Todd to be funny, but in this role, which was far from comical, I really think it was made for him and he played it flawlessly.

The production values were really great too and it's obvious that everyone involved put their heat and soul into making what was a really great show dealing with emotional topics.

I highly recommend this series.
