4.0 out of 5 stars "I have always loved you", December 13, 2004

By	Hombre Mundial (USA) - See all my reviews

As soon as I heard Lifetime would release the movie "Comfort and Joy" DVD I jumped at the chance to own it! I already loved the movie and I wanted to add to my growing Christmas-themed movie collection.

The story stars Nancy McKeon as Jane Berry, a woman who gets the chance to live another life-- the life as a wife and mother, the self-described "New and improved Jane" after crashing her Jaguar into a post and generally being confused about her new identity.

It's a heartwarming romantic comedy set amongst the backdrop of the Christmas season. Jane's husband, Sam played by Steven Eckholdt does a fantastic job in his role.

Another delight of the movie was Dixie Carter bringing spunk to the role of Jane's mother Frederica. Other noteworthy performances are by Paul Dooley (Jane's father) and of course, the children.

The DVD version features a twenty-two minute featurette with cast interviews on topics ranging from destiny to holiday movies to dysfunctional family situations during the holidays.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun movie that'll put a smile on your face.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Very Charming Christmas Movie!, October 7, 2005

A Kid's Review

Comfort and Joy is a great Christmas movie, it was made for the Lifetime Television channel and it is now available on DVD. It stars Nancy McKeon and Stephen Eckholdt who both turn in some good acting performances in a movie that is similar to the Nicholas Cage movie Family Man and Stephen Eckholdt is really cute too and he reminds me of actor Mark Rufalow. Comfort and Joy is about a single workaholic businesswoman named Jane who bumps her head and wakes up to find herself living a life as a housewife and mother with no memory of any of it and thinking she has lost her mind. Okay Like I said before Nancy McKeon and Stephen Eckholdt are good in this movie but so are Dixie Carter and Paul Dooley as Jane's bickering parents and the child actors were good too and I highly recommend this movie!

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable!, November 4, 2006

By	Mike and Shannon "music & books" (Utah) - See all my reviews

I seen this movie on lifetime, (I try to watch as many Christmas movies as I can). I didn't think I would like it at first, but I truley did. Nancy McKean gets in an accident and wakes up to a different life. She lived a very busy life by herself, she wakes up to a husband and children and doesn't want to be there. It has been a year since I have seen the movie I can't really remember how it ends, alls I know is that it is a good movie and I can't wait to catch it again.
