Olivia sparkles and gives a wonderful performance as a store manikin turned Mom for the holidays. Now if only the soundtrack would be released. An excellent Christmas movie for adults, children, the entire family. Olivia is beautiful and warm and draws you in to the story.

I first saw this movie when it came out, I just loved it, it is cute, heart warming and all and all good, I loved it from the start and have been looking for it every since, I was so happy to have found it.
There is magic, and love. Hope you get to enjoy it as much as I have, I just love Olivia Newton John.

I had this movie on VHS & really enjoyed it at that time. To be able to receive it on DVD was really even better. The vendor shipped the movie on time & it was packed to really protect it until it arrived. A wonderful movie to add to my Christmas pleasures. It's really great to add to the original movie-A Mom for Christmas #1.

Thank you to the vendor & Amazon!!!

This is a very good, clean, fun, innocent movie with a little christmas magic. But really $38 - $40 for the DVD!?! Outrageous! The lady who plays Philomenia, Doris Roberts has some other christmas movies that are very sweet too as Mrs. Miracle. This should go into that category. Olivia Newton John is beautiful as well as the young girl, Juliet Sorci that plays in it. You will like the movie, worth watching if it weren't so expensive to purchase.

I love this movie, I had it copied onto a VHS a long time ago and I decided to purchase it so that I could see it without all the commercials, it isn't Christmas time without watching this movie first.

Somewhat questionable career move for ONJ this time with a children's movie for (was it for Disney?). U-certificate & safe for children (all ages) to watch.

Features a very excellent song written and recorded with ex-Shadows John Farrar which is deliberately messed around with by the movie owners to stop would be pirate copies being made by ONJ fans.- one plausible explanation?

Strictly speaking only for ONJ complete-ists.

Useful if you bought the VHS copy years ago and now want an upgrade to DVD format. But don't expect a blu-ray version (unlike Grease and Xanadu etc)

Child actors using plenty of 21thC USA cliches/slang very little tiresome to listen to for UK (ONJ-fans) ears.

I remember seeing this on T.V. and loving it! Very cute family movie. I am happy to see it's on DVD!

Very sweet. Great find! Wanted to find it for so long and glad it finally became available thru Amazon. Must see for Olivia fans. Wonderful Christmas romance.

This is one of my favorite Christmas Movies and I have been waiting a long time for it to be available. I paid a little more then I wanted to and wish it was cheaper, but the movie was brand new and very rare to find. I wish someone would put A Very Brady Christmas on DVD :)

When i first saw this movie, back when it was on tv on the disney channel, i then became obsessed with finding this brilliant film on VHS or DVD again.

my thoughts of this film is this.

Even in the midths of economic hardship that most americans see in their lives, it just goes to show you that this movie was (in it's time) and still is the best of movie making out there. it shows that with love, understanding and hope, one can have anything happen. even within the smile of stranger (a mall-doll or not). this movie gives its viewers reasons to reflect upon their own lives, i know i did. to find the best in it, despite the darkened policies and decisions that our government hands us. this film is about hope, in the finding of that innocence within a child, renewed faith, in the belief that if one wants it bad enough, it comes to pass, and in the belief, that within hard work, love, believing in ones self, nearly anything is possible.

these days we as a world, lack that. we spend our lives with the scurry and worry of everyday life. when see the ones on street corners holding up those signs (and you ALL know what im talking about.. ya'll seen them too) we pay them no mind, we brush them off as if they were as common as the trash that lays along the curb in the street. we close our minds and hearts to each other. we have become complacient and self centered and yes, even the holy rollers are this way, sometimes even more so. but if you see this film, look at the message, look at the presence and look at the love that is so deseperately apparent in this movie.

every child without a mother, longs for such a fairytale such as this to come true for themselves. they too, as did jessica, wish with their heart, wish with their love and wished with the innocence of childhood for the mother they so long for in life. its rings true as does the poem from the NYC Post "Yes, Virginia, There Is A Santa Claus". however, now a days, that kind of magic, that kind of miracle, that kind of fairytale, is mere hollywood magic.

i think this film SHOULD BE A MUST for any family, struggling internally or not, a must for teaching their children about life, about love and especially about hope.
