Product Description
Susan Stone (Ally Walker) is a book editor whose career is in trouble. When she first entered the world of publishing she was full of enthusiasm and excitement, but over the years she has become bored and jaded, and her work has suffered accordingly. However, when an adorable and irrepressible seven-year-old named Suzie (Hayden Panettierre) comes into her life, she begins to feel the simple joy of being alive once again.
Product Description
United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Biographies, Interactive Menu, Scene Access, Trailer(s), SYNOPSIS: Bah! Humbug! Susan Stone is definitely what you'd call a modern-day scrooge. She is a young, jaded book editor who is consumed with self-doubt and has lost the passion and drive that defined her childhood persona. On the verge of losing her job and being completely on the "outs" with her family, Susan has nearly given up on happiness. Out of nowhere, a cheerful, carefree seven-year-old girl named Suzie awaits Susan back at her apartment. It turns out that little Suzie is the embodiment of Susan's inner child, she is Susan as she once was years ago. Suzie has come to help the adult Susan rediscover and recapture the love of life that she's lost. ...If You Believe

A variation on the theme of Scrooge/Christmas Carol, where Susan Stone (Ally Walker) is visited by the "ghost" of her past, herself at the age of 7, and makes her realise just what a grump she has become! Little Suzie convinces big Suzie to make changes. The spirit of Christmas is alive and well!! A lovely movie which does make you wonder, just how would you react if your younger self came to visit you? Loved it!.... every household that loves Christmas should own a copy of this!

A Kid's Review
Format:DVD
As a collector of Christmas films, it is a lovely way to pass a miserable rainy day and with all of this genre, there is a great deal of morality, actually it is a film for any day of the year, enjoy!

After having watched a few humdingers this Christmas in the straight to video stakes, this one was OK (just OK, mind).
After settling down with my mince pie and almost persuading my husband to join me (I told him that the cheerleader from "Heroes" stars in it, which got him half way to the couch until he found out she's 8 in it and made a hasty retreat) I actually managed to get to the end and heave a tiny satisfactory sigh. Brilliant is certainly isn't but it did warm the cockles for an hour or two.
Susan is a 40-something, divorced, bitter workaholic who hates Christmas and just as she's been cast out of her brothers house for telling her 8 year old neice that Santa isn't real, she slips and bangs her head. When she gets back to her appartment she meets her 8 year old self (Cheerleader from Heroes - who is very overly dramatic and stage-school brat in this, by the way) who wants to do all the stuff they used to do like go ice-skating and to the opera. Of course, grumpy Susan thinks she's going mad and is having none of it. To cut a long story short, Susan discovers that being a scrooge isn't such a good life afterall and even manages to fall in love.
It's cheesey, not the best acting in the world or the best plot, but it put a smile on my face and made me feel a bit Christmassy so it can't be all bad.

Predictable but very nice
