Guess I'm getting to a point at which positive stuff really does it for me, and this movie oozes Christmas kitsch.
Okay, here are what hit me:
1) Real liquid in a coffee cup!!!! I am so tired of movies always serving people air coffee, I mean even in the big budget really good ones!!!! What, are you afraid of spilling on the wardrobe you're going to take back?
2) Horrible sets ... they won't fool you at all. And, yet ... and yet ... the acting, writing, directing, cinematography for the most part win the day and you won't care.
3) That Christmas kitsch ... it's everywhere!!! And it is as bright and reassuring as the plot itself.
4) They didn't say grace!!!! That was the one let-down in the otherwise darling entertainment for me. What, do we have a new genre? ... Christian movies that aim not to offend. This is the second really good one I've seen, the other being Paradise Recovered also reviewed here, and maybe that is what makes them work is the less obvious evangelism. I guess our girl wasn't really convinced, though, or maybe you can be good without being obvious about it. Maybe you are displaying your faith in how you treat others. That is basically what the movie says.
