5.0 out of 5 stars A Lovely Family Christmas Story, July 2, 2005

This review is from: A Season For Miracles (Hallmark Hall of Fame) (DVD)

This is one of my favourite Christmas movies! It's a wonderful family film and as usual Hallmark has put out an outstanding production. Hallmark stores also sell this dvd. Anyone who loves touching Christmas movies with a romantic story line will find this one hard to pass by. The touching scenes are combined with great humour to create a very enjoyable movie. The acting is superb by all the cast. Patty Duke is the angel and is charming in her role. The movie is based on the novel by Marilyn Pappano.

Emilie Thompson, played by Carla Gugino, is an aunt who wants to keep custody of her niece and nephew. Their mother, her sister, is a drug addict and is in jail. The opening scene shows Emilie and the children going to see her in the hospital because she had a drug overdose. A Children's Aid worker meets them there and tells Emilie she will put them in foster care immediately, because Emilie does not have a way of supporting the children. Emilie leaves with the children and starts on a journey to try to keep them together. They wind up in Bethlehem, USA and I love the line in which Emilie says, "We can't be THAT lost!" With direction from the angel, they wind up staying in an abandoned house in the community and find themselves holding up a facade.

In an amusing turn of events, while trying to escape the law, Emilie falls in love with the town police officer, Nathan Blair. David Conrad is really good in this role, and portrays the perfect man who is VERY handsome, sensitive, good with children, etc. In fact if most women don't "fall in love" with him while watching this movie, I would be very much surprised.

The lies Emilie has told in order to keep the family together, catch up with her on Christmas Eve and create a true test to the love that has developed between her & the children and Nathan.

There are some good messages to learn from the story about the importance of family and the fact that Anything is Possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars A SEASON OF MIRACLES, November 14, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: A Season For Miracles (Hallmark Hall of Fame) (DVD)

THIS MOVIE IS THE GREATEST CHRISTMAS STORY WITH PATTY DUKE AS A ANGEL. SHE IS THERE TO HELP LEND A HAND TO GET THIS COUPLE TOGETHER. THE STORY IS ABOUT A MOTHER WITH TWO CHILDREN. THE MOTHER IS A DRUG ADDICT AND IS IN THE HOSPITAL ON HER WAY TO JAIL, SO SHE CALLS HER SISTER TO TAKE THE KIDS. THEY END UP IN A TOWN RUNNING FROM EVERYONE, AND IT SEEMS LIKE ANGELS ARE ON THEIR SIDE. IF YOU WANT A TRUE ROMANTIC CHRISTMAS FILM, THIS WILL QUALIFY. YOU CAN STILL GET IT AT MOST HALLMARK STORES FOR 19.95 FOR DVD.
