My favorite holiday movie November 20, 2005
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I have watched this movie every year on Thanksgiving since the year it came out. I'ts a very important movie for myself and my family, especially since my family name is Thornton (the same as the family in the movie). I cry every time I see it, no matter how many times!
One of the best movies I've ever seen November 18, 2005

This movie's become very special to me, in part, because I didn't see it until after my father died in 1985, and when I saw it, I saw so many correlations to my own family. For those who've seen it and say it's a beautiful thought but it could never happen, think again. It can and has. The movie is very well done, and really should be rated by boxes of kleenex instead of stars!!

This is my favorite Christmas movie. I too wish it would come out on DVD. This is a classic, Christmas tear jerker, filled with forgiveness, redemption and love.
One of the best holiday heart-tuggers December 1, 2004

This is a lovely little made-for-TV film, with a good script, sound acting, and the enjoyment of watching familiar faces. Ed Asner and Maureen Stapleton head a cast that includes Lawrence Pressman, Veronica Hamel, Gregory Harrison, Stephanie Zimbalist, Gail Strickland, Edward Winter, and more. Yes, the "dying man making amends" plot seems a little weepy, but this family interacts in a way that reminds us how real families are: lots of ruffled feathers that are ignored when the chips are down. My husband and I have a rare VHS copy of this gem, and watch it every holiday season with a fresh box of tissues nearby. br /br /With all the trash available on DVD these days, it's a shame that this film isn't similarly formatted for all to enjoy. In a nation supposedly concerned with "moral values," people are snapping up far lesser efforts. If you can find this one, it will become a part of you.
