5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Christmas Movie!, January 7, 2002

A Customer - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Hobo's Christmas [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This was a movie that I didn't think I would like but I watched it and I was wrong about thinking it wouldn't be a good movie and I just really liked it. It's about an elderly man who is played by Barnard Hughes, the man is a hobo who hops trains and travels all over the USA and getting the odd job here and there and since it's Christmas time he decides to visit his son played by Gerald Mcraney, they had a falling out and haven't seen each other in years and the father wants to try and make amends and so he can get to know his grandchildren who he has never seen and he wants to have an old fashioned Christmas with his family if his son will let him. It is a very heartwarming movie and I could definitely watch it again

4.0 out of 5 stars This Should Be On DVD!, October 7, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: A Hobo's Christmas [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Hobo's Christmas starring Barnard Hughes and Gerald McRaney is a good heart warming Christmas movie.Barnard Hughes plays a hobo who travels by sneaking onto box cars on trains, he arrives in a town where his son and grand children live hoping to get back in contact with them. His son played by Gerald McRaney doesn't want to have anything to do with his father because of feelings o resentment for him not being there for him when he was a child, disappointments and misunderstandings but his grand son and grand daughter want to see him so their father reluctantly lets him stay with them and the old man connects with his grand children and trys to mend the rift between him and his son. This movie is very good and I recommend the video to anyone who loves Christmas movies and I would love if the movie would be made available on DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Christmastime Movie!, December 21, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: A Hobo's Christmas [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I watched Hobo's Christmas on TV one year and I thought it was pretty good and had a great cast, especially Bernard Hughes and Gerald McRaney. It is a Christmastime movie that has some sad scenes but nothing too melodramatic or sappy and all in all it has a great message about love, family and forgiveness perfect for the Holiday season!
