12 Days of Giving

Loved the story of a lottery winner ($50,000) suddenly deciding to help pay off a stranger's store card balance - we'd do the same in similar circumstances. This snowballed into further anonymous charitable acts. Unfortunately it veered off to a predictable love story.

The girlfriend who appeared to be a little nasty, and an older woman whose son he befriends.

Unfortunately the son, I think, has a disability (similar to Jimmy Clitheroe - growth issues). I thought he was little different, especially to have braces on his teeth at such a seemingly young age. But the story does progress with the hullabaloo of the anonymous acts of kindness and this gives the film the warm, feelgood factor

Unfortunately it's ruined by a bad child actor who was given an unlikable character.

Am I supposed to find the disobedient kid who blackmails someone doing something nice, cute? Because no, I hate that kid. Maybe his acting sucks so much because he hates being that kid.

Anyway, there are better movies out there, but this one is okay in a pinch.

I keep finding these movies on my Roku- all with messages of kindness, gratitude etc... less slick than Hollywierd but each one with its own beauty.

Thank you to all makers of these films that cause the heart to open up and hope.

Not good not bad but pleasantly better than you would think from the description. The lead guy who looks and speaks like Alistair Cook is very good in the role, very likeable and is given a decent script. The lead females each have a few irritating traits and the young boy, daft name aside is good too

It's cute and the history makes you like the guy...but giving gifts while you're unemployed and not even worried about to look for a job is non sense.
