She wants nothing more than the reuniting of her recently divorced parents. Bordering on being a Miracle on 34th Street re-make, this film follows much the same theme, but the kids here get more involved as they thwart any likelihood of romantic success between their mom and her new boyfriend and try ever-so-hard to make Mommy and Daddy love each other again. A reunion does result, but it's a lackluster one and so's this film, which was generally seen as a little too contrived and way too bland. ~ Rovi

Critic Reviews

James Sanford, Kalamazoo Gazette
...is a break from trash like this. Just awful!
Ryan Cracknell, Movie Views
Generic at its core, the idea behind the movie is valiant enough but happy themes aren't enough to carry an otherwise boring film.

A very cute Christmas Film, Yes its the start of my Christmas Review, 45 Days till Christmas I hope to get 30 films in review for Christmas. This one is about a family who has split up, and the son and very young daughter want the family together again for Christmas, takes place in NYC, only draw back is where are the people I see everyday in NYC. LOL. Still a excellent family film for Christmas those over 10 years of age. 4 Stars

Lauren Bacall and Thora Birch are just adorable in this typical Christmas movie.
