What a truly lovely and sweet little movie! It's so charming, the family and friends are all so lovely, and having Boyz II Men singing on Christmas Eve adds such a wonderful layer to the story. Watch and enjoy!
There's a really sad review that calls this white supremacy for some whacked out reason. The author of the book was Jewish and grew up on a neighborhood just like this. He understood the pain of discrimination and wanted to have a book with a black boy being the central character. The movie expands on the neighborhood and neighbors (exactly like he experienced in his childhood) - absolutely nothing wrong with that. What a wonderful neighborhood full of lovely people that care about Peter. :-)
