Synopsis

In this heartwarming Christmas film, a young mother, Ginny Grainger (Mary Steenburgen), rediscovers the joy and beauty of Christmas thanks to the unshakeable faith of her six-year-old daughter (Elisabeth Harnois) and Gideon (Harry Dean Stanton), her very own guardian angel. With Gideon's help, Ginny learns that the season is about her family and other people she loves, rather than the presents and materialism heaped on by a consumerist society.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Charming Family Film, 5 Oct 2007
By E. A. Redfearn "eredfearn2" (Middlesbrough) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Over the last 65 years or so, the Disney Company has been renowned for making family films, many of them which have remained classics to this day. (Bambi; Lady and The Tramp; Cinderella; 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea etc).

This film made in Canada will become, as the years go by, one of Disney's most popular films. Mary Steenburgen plays Ginny Grainger a young mother who is dissilusioned with the way her life and that of her family is going. Failing to develop any Christmas spirit as that time of the year approaches, she is caught up in an amazing series of events which unknowing to her, are caused by her Guardian Angel Gabriel(played with much charm by Harry Dean Stanton). He is giving her and her family the opportunity to rediscover what Christmas can and should be about. A time of joy and happiness; and a reflection of what the Christmas Message is to the world, and that was Peace To All Men and the sharing of those joys with other people who are less fortunate. The film is reminescence of the Christmas Classic "Its A Wonderful Life", where a person is given a chance to see what life would be like if circumstances were to be so different.

The final scenes are a joy to watch, and I bet there won't be a dry eye in the house as Ginny meets up with well, I won't reveal it here, after all, it wouldn't be Christmas, would it? Watch it and see for yourself.

Picture quality is quite good, although soundtrack is basic 2 Channel and is adequate. A charming family film which anyone can enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars One Magic Christmas, 4 Nov 2005
I first saw this movie with my kids. It made an impact on them and left a lump im my throat. All the Christmas ingredients are there yet the lasting message was and is if you take care of others and believe, dreams can come true. My kids are growing up now but are looking forward to seeing this movie again, at the right time of year. Watch it and maybe each Christmas can be magic.

4.0 out of 5 stars One Magic Christmas, 24 Nov 2007
I have to say this film is really good. Very moving and bring a lump on your throat. It worth watching on every Christmas so you will feel more Christmassy and this film will remind you what is more important in your life that closest to your heart. Really good and I highly recommend people to watch this movie in Christmas time as it will be as good in your festive mood.
