How refreshing.
It always makes me glad to see efforts to make Christmas involve the Savior. And it doesn't hurt that they are portraying Christian family life as well.
They just got a lot wrong. For one, it is very unlikely that a divorced Christian woman would be adopting a child as a single mother. Also unlikely that the woman would be saying grace with her husband sitting right there. It was a nice grace though.
MaryAnn and Joe had a nice relationship. I enjoyed the way they moved along at a reasonable pace.
A lot of my favorite supporting cast were present: Amy Groening and Stephanie Sy, both very busy this year, always great.
The one character I did not like was Joe's buddy. This movie just stopped dead whenever he was on the screen.
I would not say this was the movie I hoped it would be, but it's a nice, heartwarming little family movie at Christmas-time.
