| User ReviewKen SLove this movie!!!! Watched it year round as a kid. Had it recorded on vhs. Top 10 christmas movie for me. If you can watch it asap. |
| User ReviewMike MWhile the story is neither gut-wrenching nor overly-dramatic, it does gently tell a variation on a common tale in families: hurt and trouble that often comes between elderly fathers and grown sons and the healing that can take place with they both want it. Simple enough and not too sappy. I remember this TV film when it originally aired back in '87 and enjoyed it again this year on DVD. Good cast. McRaney and Hughes are two of my favorite actors and I've come to enjoy Wendy Crewson from the Santa Clause movies. |
| User Reviewrusty aAn overall decent movie. I think the stubborn characters of Charlie and his dad, the hobo, were a bit too much for a typical Christmas movie not to mention how drawn out things seem to be. It is good to see once if you love Christmas movies but otherwise you aren't missing much. |
