Critic Reviews

Andrew L. Urban, Urban Cinefile
The film dips into syrup as it draws to a close, but even that we can forgive for its genuine warm hearted mood

Felix Gonzalez Jr., DVD Review

Felix Gonzalez Jr., DVD Review
It's a little like holiday leftovers--still warm and filling but not as fresh or tasty as the first Christmas Day meal.
