I Loved this Movie! It was adorable and sweet... very comical, too! A great Holiday film for the family. The acting is wonderful- especially the boys! If you have the chance to watch it- don't miss it- It's A Must SEE for any fan of Romantic-Comedies!!!
George Newbern was so handsome as the overseer of a Boy's Home.... and Roma Downey was pretty with her blonde hair. A perfectly matched couple!
Sons of the Mistletoe is the Best 'made for TV' Holiday Program!

BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.
This Christmas film is a winner. George Newbern and Roma Downey star and after all these years I still hope they will do some other film together.
In this film The Sons of Mistletoe boy's orphanage is a happy place. Run by the charismatic Jimmy Adams (George Newbern, Father of the Bride), the home has become one big family. But when its largest benefactor dies and leaves the orphanage to his daughter, Helen Radke (Roma Downey, TV's Touched by an Angel), Jimmy worries about funding, especially as the old house begins to show its wear. Just when it appears that Ms. Radke is going to pull the plug on her father's investment, a Christmas miracle changes everything.
This film channels the Disney films of the 1960's & 1970's. George Newbern has an effortless charm that makes this film a standout.

Touched by an Angel star Roma Downey stars as heiress Helen Radke, who returns to her hometown to sell all of her estranged father's belongings and settle his estate. She also threatens to sell a boy's orphanage, run by Jimmy Adams (George Newbern), during Christmas time.
It is interesting seeing Downey, known for her portrayal of the kind angel Monica in Touched by an Angel, play a cold character role, which makes the movie captivating. The story itself is pretty good and heartfelt, as it is captivating seeing how the people try get through with the heiress in saving the orphanage. Seeing how Helen deals with the smart aleck Wylie Armstrong (Scott Terra) is also entertaining.
The acting is quite good and the plot pacing is steady. Overall, one of the better holiday TV movies out there.

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.

Nothing special, but a cute little movie for the Christmas season. It's about a Foster Home endangered by the new land lady. It is comical with a touch of drama. -->> AAA, OH YES, ROMANCE!! Yes!, > You will see this as well. This movie is ok, but NOTHING SPECIAL!
