The Wishing Tree

This movie delivers exactly what sappy Christmas movies are supposed to! It has all the ingredients to raise your spirits, life your hopes and make you want to enjoy the Season by being more loving, caring and giving. That's why it's an 8 in my world.

The classic formula in constructed here. Good guy, victim kids and antagonist parent who eventually "sees the light" and gives her wayward son the love and attention he needs.

There is one musical number that is done well. The romance component is in place. And truth wins over deception and love over hate.

It's a good way to spend a couple hours.
