This person is would not know a good movie if it reached out and clobbered them! All you have to do is look at all the other reviews and see that this person is a 'JOKE'! The ending of the movie was perfectly done and as a whole the movie was one of the best I have seen in a long time! I really felt moved by how the whole town came out and gave this little girl Christmas in November so that she would be able to have Christmas at home since she was most likely going to have to spend it in the hospital.
The only thing that I found wrong with the film was that it seemed as if they left us hanging on the story of the teenage writer who befriended the little girl. It would have been nice to know what happened to her in the future.

I watched this because I was looking for some hope and to get into the Christmas spirit.
The story was absolutely heartwarming and uplifting. The casting was on point. I do feel the ending was a little rushed and wish the movie had been longer, but I still loved it.

As I was flipping channels, looking for something interesting, I found November Christmas. As I checked on the information, I saw that Sam Elliot was in this movie. Enough for me to watch......
I once read where he saw some parts that he had passed up on, then later thought that he could have done that...
I have always admired his work and felt that he could have/should have been a mega star, very much in the caliber of John Wayne, just in our era of time.
In my view, we do not have many actors in the caliber of our hero, John Wayne. Mr Elliot has stretched his acting legs many times, in different movies and different types of roles and he has excelled in each, as I expected.
In "November Christmas", Sam plays an aging neighbor to a family in crisis.This family in crisis, allows him to do a "do over" from a crisis in his past. This is something that he missed in his real life, so he gets to address that concept on screen. Sam personifies someone that is bitter from circumstances of the past, who transforms into a wonderful, Grandfatherly figure, with a new opportunity to right the past. He does just that, in grand fashion. It is saddening for me to understand what his age is, and to know that even tho he never attained the reputation of a John Wayne, He will always be a hero for me, and a truly grand actor, in my view.

this is so well done and such a heart warming story that it seems like it was written from a true situation. I Lost my mother and a brother in law to cancer and this movie just warms my heart every time I get to watch it.
if this is not based on a real life situation I would hope that people in real life would would do something like this for someone suffering from cancer no matter their age but especially for a child.
I have Watched this movie a couple of times and every time it tugs at my heart and puts tears in my eyes.
as others have said you fall in love with all the characters and to the point you wish you could have taken part in the making of this movie.
I would suggest this move to everyone to watch this beautiful movie

We only recently stumbled across this 12 year-old film (as I type) and only then because I noticed Sam Elliot is in it.
A little girl has leukemia and may not make it until Christmas, so her father arranges to move up all the holidays to try to squeeze them in before the worst might happen.
It's no spoiler to reveal that the little girl recovers, because the movie leads with her as an adult, and the whole movie is a flashback into a book she wrote about her childhood.
Sam Elliot's character runs a nearby farm, and he had also lost a child. When he gets wind of what's happening, he helps. Eventually, the entire town helps. The movie is warm and moving, and immediately when into our favorites list for the holiday season.
