Really Surprised!
Fresh and Exciting
For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Review Date 2/24/2018PLEASE BEWARE OF SOME REVIEWERS THAT ONLY HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. I HAVE OVER 400 REVIEWS OF "CHRISTMAS RELATED FILMS & SPECIALS" WHEN ITS A POSITIVE THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I REVIEW MOVIES & SPECIALS AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN! I HAVE DISCOVERED MANY GEMS IN MY QUEST TO SEE AS MANY " C H R I S T M A S " MOVIES AS I CAN.Now Someone keeps reporting my reviews. I guess they are jealous because I do tell the truth. I want to point out that I never make snide remarks about actors weight or real life sexual orientation. If there acting is terrible or limited "I talk about that". If a story is bad "I will mention that" So why am I being "picked on"? IMDB? When one of my reviews gets deleted IMDB will not even tell me what someone found offensive. Well on to this review.This is an enjoyable film. The title is however very misleading. I did not read what this film was about. What I thought I was getting was a film about "A Child who spreads the Joy of Christmas" in any way he can. Well that is not the story. What this film is about how a man and child struggling to stay a family during Christmas. The main story is that a Chicago social worker (Cicely Tyson) helps a jazz saxophonist (Michael Warren) adopt a son (Trent J. Cameron) after losing his wife. The cast is great. The story is a tad predictable. However the overall film is family safe and well worth watcing!
This is the story of a man and his son who each have a single Christmas wish - to be together. In spite of their many obstacles, they never lose sight of their love for one another. Where most people would have given up, they continue in their quest to be a family.The powerful performances of the cast members clearly demonstrated why most of these actors are among the most respected black actors in history.There are aspects of the movie that are unrealistic and predicable. But this isn't a documentary, its a MOVIE. In fact, this movie is probably more realistic than "Its a Wonderful Life" which is arguably the best Christmas movie of all time.When your family starts to squabble and/or pout about their holiday gifts, show them this movie and they'll realize how fortunate they are.
This movie was so unrealistic and fairy tale! It was sad that this was the LAST movie that Sammy Davis Jr. ever acted in. But the plot of this movie was still fairy tale. In real life, the plots in the movie wouldn't have turned out the way they did. SPOILERS AHEAD! Reggie's foster dad wouldn't have missed the train at the end of the movie. The adoption agency would have still let Reggie's adoptive father adopt him even though his beautiful wife died in a car accident! When Reggie's adoptive father broke in Mrs. Clayton's house and started trashing the place, he would have been in a lot of trouble!
This all-star cast will take you inside each character and you will be emotionally charged with love, hate and sorrow.Little Reggie finally finds true love only to find out that it will all be taken away. He in turns decides to take matters into his own hands to try and keep him united with his new family.
