November 16, 2008This was cute. Great Cast, love Miss Union and whatever you just can't wrong with the Queen and Terrence. The story was not so good and this Movie lacked a little something, but the Cast made up for the overall let down. Still cute for a once around...

December 30, 2008Just an ordinary Christmas drama and comedy that deals with family affairs, in particular how it affects the kids.

March 9, 2008Nancy is a divorced mother of three who is so busy raising her children that she's forgotten to care for herself as well. With Christmas fast approaching, she decides to take her kids to the mall to meet Santa Claus, not knowing that her youngest daughter Emily has sensed her mother's sadness and is determined to use her time with Santa to make her mom happy again. Just a few days prior, Emily heard her mom say that all she wanted for Christmas was a compliment from a man, so that's exactly what she tells Santa, as it turns out, office supply salesman and struggling songwriter Benjamin. it is very good movie i cried at many situation, must watch it.
