The kid wants to sing dad won't let him. Well instead of this being rip off of "The Jazz Singer" oh wait it is. Never mind.

This goes on for far too long for what the story is. It would of been great had it been shorter and not basically repeat every scene.

This film is a huge THUMBS DOWN

Outstanding Christmas Film!

This film accurately and very movingly brings to light the real and true meaning of Christmas!

Beautiful, Jesus-honoring film!

This is a beautiful film which I just caught on EWTN. It reminds us of the tender, merciful, and personal love that the Lord Jesus Christ has for each of us, and the reality that He can do ALL things. Also -- and this is the takeaway -- no matter what's happening in our lives, when we know Jesus as our Saviour, we can have PEACE, contentment, and meaning.

Not good at all

Review Date 1/7/2018

PLEASE BEWARE OF SOME REVIEWERS THAT ONLY HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I REVIEW MOVIES & SPECIALS AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN! I HAVE DISCOVERED MANY GEMS IN MY QUEST TO SEE AS MANY " C H R I S T M A S " MOVIES AS I CAN.

Someone keeps reporting my reviews. I guess they are jealous because I do tell the truth. I want to point out that I never make snide remarks about actors weight or real life sexual orientation. If there acting is terrible or limited "I talk about that". If a story is bad "I will mention that" So why am I being "picked on"? IMDB will not even tell me what someone found offensive. Well on to this review

Now the story had hopes but the director pads out every scene with very little dialog. I think the film run the first 5 minutes without anybody talking.

It is small town America in the 1950's. Twelve year-old Angelo Villano has one dream: to someday sing like his idol, Mario Lanza. His grandmother, Mama Theresa encourages him; and his beautiful voice catches the attention of the formidable but kind Father Walsh who arranges for him to receive formal training.

I think the film could be better if they cut about 15 minutes out of it. The trims would not harm the story. Best of all the audience will not get bored!
