A sweet but somber holiday film; don't watch it if you are in a blue mood
Kathleen (Catherine Mary Stewart) is a restaurant owner in a fairly large Western city. Christmas Day is coming fast but Kathleen is a Scroogette. Long ago, her father took off at holiday time, never to return. She insists that there be no decorations at the eatery and that the place will remain open on the Great Day. In addition, a newspaper food critic has ticked her off as well. So, she is in a bad mood when its quitting time. Ho, ho, things get worse when some punks try to mug her. But, happily, an old man, Sam (Muse Watkins) scares them off. Giving him a ride to the bus station, the two learn that Sam has missed his Greyhound. Not knowing what else to do, Kathleen invites him to stay with her, despite their recent friendship. Kathleen gets an additional guest when her boyfriend drops off his daughter, Lucy, in another emergency event. Having met once in the past, the two females don't really like or trust each other. But, stay together a bit they must. The last complication is a heavy snowfall, which prevents the three house mates from going anywhere the next day.....and the next. But, strangely, Sam begins to work more magic, helping Kathleen and Lucy start a friendship. Then, the weather improves and Sam comes up missing. Why has he gone without saying goodbye? This is truly a sweet Christmas film, with religious overtones, but rather somber. Nevertheless, its main theme of forgiveness is just what everyone needs. Stewart and Watkins are excellent, as is the young girl playing Lucy. Also pleasing are the sets, costumes, direction and heartfelt tale. For those who like to celebrate the holidays with a film, this is a nice choice.
A Christmas Snow
A Christmas Snow is a must see movie that deals with the outward and inward problems we all experience in our daily lives. It is a fantastic story about life's mistakes, forgiveness, self reflection, family and the inner working relationships of each of these areas. Not being a professional movie critic, but, dealing with my own life problems and those of many friends and family, I can honestly say that this is a life changing movie. Whether it changes your life for moments, hours, weeks, months or a lifetime, it WILL change your life. Take the time to watch and experience the struggles of these characters as you reflect on your own life experiences. If you're not changed by this movie, it will be the only thing that surprises this viewer. Take the time to watch this, be patient as the movie develops it's plot and let me know if YOU cry in the end, I surely did!! Enjoy
Wonderful family film!
Christmas hasn't been the same for Kathleen since her father left one Christmas Eve. This Christmas is different. She's thrown together with a young girl and an old man and learns not only how to celebrate the holiday, but also how to love again. I had the chance to see a preview of this independent film at the Gideon Film Festival. This is a very heartwarming story about a Grinch-like woman who finds love, peace, and forgiveness--a true Christmas story. I loved the performances by Muse Watson and Catherine Mary Stewart, and newcomer Cameron Ten Napel could well be the next Abigail Breslin. If you have the chance to see this film, I highly recommend it.
Good Christmas Movie
This falls in the category of sappy Christmas movie, but it's a good one. It's a sweet story with likable characters and a satisfying ending. Like most Christmas and/or feel good movies, the plot is a bit contrived, but nothing too far fetched. I especially enjoyed the young girl - once she got over the bratty phase and started letting her personality show. The old man - Sam - gave a heartwarming performance, and his reading of the story of Simeon was beautiful. There is a message of faith, but it's subtle and you certainly don't feel preached at.
Rough start, heart warming ending
Does your dad leaving you and your mom when you were a child justify being mean and rude to just about everyone and acting more of a child than the cute kid you are babysitting? It's a little extreme, but once you get past that, things lighten up and Cameron Ten Napel shines as a precocious, cute, and very wise child. The last half of the movie, especially the ending is very heart warming. This is a faith based movie with one theological problem that we'll just ignore. There is a strong message about forgiving, faith, and family. The sappy meter is quite high on this one, so if you don't like sappy, then be warned. Should I mention that the ground is almost bare of snow except for a few patches on the day after a blizzard shuts down the city so bad that the lady can't even drive to work? Just ignore all that too.
