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!

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.

I don't remember this one....I may have bought it as a gift for someone, but it looks like it might be a nice Christmas story.

Predictable but very nice
It was a good film, it was well worth watching. I must say that while the disc, which was a "normal" dvd, didn`t play on my computer. Read more

great holiday gift for your wife, girlfriend or mother
I have 3 copy's of the film for a region 1 player, and a copy for a region 2 player that I can't use in this area. It's a great film.
