I thought it was a good, heartwarming Christmas movie, with fine performances by everyone. It was better than a lot of the overly-sentimental movies on the Hallmark channel.
There were a few minor things I had problem with:
It did bother me that they never really explained at the end whether he was a ghost, or an angel, St. Christopher, or what.
It also bothered me that the sister just "knew" her test results and never actually bothered to listen to the doctor tell her that she was OK.
The part where the guy is talking to himself about the war struck me as gratuitous (who is he talking to?), but otherwise it was good.
Casting William Devane and Meredith Baxter was great, but the daughter and the Christopher guy were both really bland.
A romance for the sister would have perked this up some.
