A great movie!!

I cannot believe the low average rating for this movie (5)! It is one of the best I have seen in a long time. The acting is good, the singing is really excellent and it is filled with good people -- the kind of people that fill my life as relatives and friends (unlike the unlikeable characters that populate most movie scripts these days). It has a very uplifting story, and there is absolutely no violence, profanity or sexual innuendos. What a treat! The only reason that I did not give it a "10" is that the principal actress did not look as if she were 14 years old. However, this is not very important, as her singing voice is so beautiful. Perhaps it is a bit idealistic, but we need much more idealism in our entertainment.

great holiday movie

If you've read the book, you'll really like the movie. LeAnn Rimes is great. My only complaint is that it isn't available on video, because it's hard to pay attention when it's on TV during the Christmas Eve frenzy. All in all, this movie really does justice to the book.

What about a DVD?

I watched this movie on TV in the middle of summer, and really enjoyed the characters, narration, dialogue and songs. For me, the tone was spot on - neither light nor heavy. I thought the Grandma character was rather special. True, Father Christmas appears, but it will be a shame if showings are limited to the Christmas period. I found this title edifying and uplifting, and was most disappointed to find there was no DVD.

How about it, you folk who can correct this deficiency? I don't have a music collection, but did look on the Internet for LeAnn Rimes CDs to hear more of her work. These cost somewhat more than the average price I pay for a DVD, so I will be checking the sites at intervals for special offers.

A Sweet little movie

This is a wonderful movie about a Young gal who always wanted to sing in the Grand Old Opera and when she Finally does get her chance, Problems occur. This movie has been wonderfully made and most of all, LeAnn Rimes is in it. ( I'm a LeAnn Rimes Fan )

Certainly no Christmas classic

Okay, I'll give this film a few points for being well intentioned, but this is simply NOT a good movie. This film suffers badly from being hopelessly predictable, not to mention the fact that it is flat-out boring. If you're a fan of LeAnn Rimes, then perhaps you might enjoy seeing her in a movie, but I have very little doubt that any future films that she is featured in will be MUCH better than this yawner.

Faith Shawn is supposed to give herself a shot of insulin for her diabetes, but she gives the shot in a vein in her forearm. Diabetics take insulin shots in subcutaneous tissue. There is no fat in the forearm, therefore she would not have taken a shot of insulin there.
