This review is from: A Matter of Principle [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have been searching for this movie for many years, and have scoured the TV guide every Christmas in hopes of seeing this again. A wonderful movie and Alan Arkin, being one of my favorites, is the most believable skin-flint grouch. The ending will put everyone in the Christmas spirit. Thanks Alan for a great and memorable performance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique Christmas movie, October 8, 2000

This review is from: A Matter of Principle [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A superb holiday story. This has been a family favorite for many years, with our only copy a grainy VHS recorded from PBS when it was first aired. Funny, genuine, with surprisingly well-developed characters for only a sixty-minute feature. We will continue to watch this one each year.

This review is from: A Matter of Principle [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is probably one of the best movies made. My only copy was "kept" by a neighbor who borrowed it. That copy was off PBS from nearly a decade ago. I have searched all around for this movie and am thrilled to finally find it.
