    Certainly no Christmas classic

    Okay, I'll give this film a few points for being well intentioned, but this is simply NOT a good movie. This film suffers badly from being hopelessly predictable, not to mention the fact that it is flat-out boring. If you're a fan of LeAnn Rimes, then perhaps you might enjoy seeing her in a movie, but I have very little doubt that any future films that she is featured in will be MUCH better than this yawner.

    Disappointing!

    I just recently watched this movie on LIfetime TV and I just didn't like it! I like Leann Rhimes she is one of my favorite singers and I thought her acting was good and I think the acting from Bernadette Peters and the woman who played Leann's grandmother was great but still I found this movie disappointing because it wasn't Christmassy enough for me and I thought that there were some things in this movie that were kind of cheesy and far fetched! Fans of the TV show Wings will notice that the actress who plays Leann Rhimes grandmother in this movie was also in Wings, she was the older woman who worked the announcement system and was kind of a busy body!

    great holiday movie

    If you've read the book, you'll really like the movie. LeAnn Rimes is great. My only complaint is that it isn't available on video, because it's hard to pay attention when it's on TV during the Christmas Eve frenzy. All in all, this movie really does justice to the book.

    What about a DVD?

    I watched this movie on TV in the middle of summer, and really enjoyed the characters, narration, dialogue and songs. For me, the tone was spot on - neither light nor heavy. I thought the Grandma character was rather special. True, Father Christmas appears, but it will be a shame if showings are limited to the Christmas period. I found this title edifying and uplifting, and was most disappointed to find there was no DVD.

    How about it, you folk who can correct this deficiency? I don't have a music collection, but did look on the Internet for LeAnn Rimes CDs to hear more of her work. These cost somewhat more than the average price I pay for a DVD, so I will be checking the sites at intervals for special offers.

    A Sweet little movie

    This is a wonderful movie about a Young gal who always wanted to sing in the Grand Old Opera and when she Finally does get her chance, Problems occur. This movie has been wonderfully made and most of all, LeAnn Rimes is in it. ( I'm a LeAnn Rimes Fan )

      Faith Shawn is supposed to give herself a shot of insulin for her diabetes, but she gives the shot in a vein in her forearm. Diabetics take insulin shots in subcutaneous tissue. There is no fat in the forearm, therefore she would not have taken a shot of insulin there.
