| User ReviewMacaulay GLuke Ward-Wilkinson and Tom Berenger are such a joy to watch! |
| User ReviewJack SAmazing christmas film and one of the best seasonal films I've ever seen! Storyline is amazing, all I can say is, everything about this film is amazing! This has to be one of my best DVD purchases, only one pound too! |
| User ReviewBRADFORD YOne of the finest Christmas movies for every reason --- outstanding casting and acting --- great script --- beautiful photography --- tightly wrapped direction and editing --- non-intrusive lovely score. Berenger and Joely are both believable and endearing. Ward-Wilkinson is a seamless fit in a touching, but not sugar-sweet tale of unimaginable sadness turned to joy. A definite must for every Christmas movie lover. |
| User ReviewChris TAn excellent adaptation of the classic children's picture book, with a unique visual style faithful to the book. The extended storyline to fill out the length is the slightly weak spot in the film. |
| User ReviewAnnette HA very nice Christmas film that will be a yearly favourite. |
| User ReviewCathy KA very touching story based on the book by the same name. Definitely one to add to my Christmas movies. |
