    lovely feel-good film, BUT...

    [1] apart from Thomas Sangster (of "Love Actually" fame), the American actors' "English" accents are appalling.

    [2] the acting is so wooden.

    [3] the "English" scenery (especially local church and "Royal Marsden" exteriors) is so American!

    [4] the general 'direction' is so amateurish, and obviously "Made-for-US-TV".

    It's a shame, as the story is real, and inspiring.

    So why is it that US directors/actors all think that everyone in England speaks with a plum stuck in their cheek?

    We don't!

    And why use US actors and US sets but a UK boy in a UK story?

    A nice little movie- a bit slow

    A bit slow, but it makes you involved in the movie and care what happens to the people. It is a pretty good movie, and not alot of people have seen it, but its still a nice movie. Not award winning, obviously, but it is worth the watching if nothing better is out. SEE IT 5\10 average

    Empty, substandard portrayal of what should have been GOLD!

    The courageous tale of a young boy diagnosed with a brain tumor and the fight to keep him alive through treatment, and what else, the get-well cards, hence the title. Sounds like sentimental, award-winning material, doesn't it? It does. But there are several holes which couldn't save this cheap picture show.

    Catherine Oxenberg portraying the real-life Marion Shergold is just awful; her "emotion" was completely forced, the "accent" made me cringe, and it made me wonder if her authentic British counterparts jeered at her during filming. Aside from her god-awful performance, the storyline completely dragged--I fell asleep twice on my sofa--and regardless of what the millions of cards did for the terminally ill bugger, I was left empty and unsatisfied. This could have been much better.

    Good Movie!

    "Miracle of the Cards" is a good heart-warming drama about faith and hope. It is a story of a young boy, "Craig", who is afflicted with a brain tumor and his fight to overcome his illness.

    The perserverance and strength of Craig is clearly portrayed by the young actor. The actress that played Craig's mother, on the other hand, clearly did not put enough practice into her English accent. Her performance is wooden-faced and extremely strained. Craig's father is played by Peter Wingfield, who once again flawlessly became the character.

    Nice, pleasant film.

    I really enjoyed this film. Although it isn't "oscar-worthy" it is a wonderful, delightful film about faith and hanging onto it. I felt the best attraction about this film was actor Peter Wingfield. He pretty much carried this film. Without his brilliant acting it wouldn't have been quite as good. It is a nice film overall to watch and enjoy.
