This is basically a "coming to know what love is" movie using the atmosphere of Christmas

The inevitable happy outcome is telegraphed almost from the opening credits, however the characters are engaging enough to hold the viewer for entirety of the formulaic journey. A few plot elements do seem a bit of a stretch. For one, Hector Elizondo will buy the business provided the current owner is a family man, yet plans to move the business to Mexico causing the current employees to lose their jobs. For another, the natural father begs to see his little girl at Christmas, but only long enough to tell her that he can stay only for a day. Why bother to see her at all, one thinks.

I value this quality family movie.

I am an old fashioned piano teacher and value watching a movie like this. It has a happy ending and promotes honesty and moral decisions. My heart feels happy after watching this movie, and I can recommend to my students.

Disgustingly Sweet!!!!!

The one reason I had for watching this film was Eric McCormack. In this film he is GORGEOUS!!!!!

Unfortunately the plot is so disgustingly sweet, and the little girl so disgustingly irksome, that whatever Eric McCormack contributes to it is lost :(

A wonderful Christmas movie

Yesterday, on TV, my wife and I watched this movie for the first time, We found it to be an unexpected pleasurable movie discovery. Young Sarah Rosen Fruitman as Zoe "stole" every scene in which she appeared. This movie should definitely be a part of my collection. I strongly recommend it.

Fantastic

I first saw this movie in a re-run, and only saw the last half. After seeing the last half, I just couldn't wait to watch it from beginning to end. This is the kind of movie that after you start watching it you just can't leave it for any reason until it's over. All of the actors and actresses just made it so believable that you felt like you were friends with the characters at the end. I didn't even realize that Roma Downey was playing Kathleen until I'd been watching it for a few minutes. You wouldn't expect her to be good at the part of a struggling single mother, but she really was. It had the perfect casting combination, and the writers also knew what they were doing. It had a great plot, and is a movie that people would enjoy at just about any age. It's rare that you see a movie like this on television today.
