Hallmark Hall of Fame presents a remarkable Christmas movie that will be enjoyed for years to come. The outstanding singing talents of Kristin Chenoweth and newcomer Kevin Quinn is a special Hallmark card in movie form. Scott Wolf adds delightful acting to an important role in the story. It is a lovely story with drama to tug at your heartstrings and just enough fun to keep you smiling. Kudos to a great cast.
The music is glorious with superb direction by Eric Close (who also stars) to make it the perfect Christmas experience. Don't miss watching this one.
Hallmark, Thank you for a special treat this holiday season.

I think that if I had been making this film I would have had Eric Close as the lead male instead of Scott Wolf. Don't get me wrong, Scott did a good job, but when you have Eric there and so lovely with those smiling eyes, why would you put him in the background?
Kristin can be a bit Marmite for me, but she did well in this one as well and you can't deny her vocal range is fantastic.
The story is very sweet and takes a different tack to the usual romance at Christmas schtick. I really like the family dynamic, the twists, the blossoming romance for the younger generation as well and of course it's full of the seasonal things that make these films winners for me. I also love anything with a good, heartfelt, emotional song in it.
Sure to be watched again.

A proper movie. Good singing, great believable acting and excellent chemistry between all parties.
Kristin Chenoweth is little known here in the UK, so had to check on Google whether she could actually sing as she does in the film ! Wow - a bit of a revelation that she does, and what a CV (resume) this lady has ! Had to agree with another reviewer though, that I should have watched with sub titles, as she doesn't enunciate clearly in her speaking voice - which is unusual for a singer of her calibre.
The storyline is good, and wont spoil it for others, but a surprising ending. An enjoyable watch, and shows what Hallmark can achieve with older and experienced actors in lead parts. They should do it more often !!

It is one of beautiful surprises. For story and for voices, for Scott Wolf and Eric Close, for atmosphere and, more important, for the message. But, especially, for Kristin Chenoweth giving to her character lovely, inspired brillance. The delicate themes are well used, to. And the twist just works. A film about parenthood, vocation, music, Christmas. Not great but surprising, in good sense, in profound sense. A beautiful film about things real important. And Chistmas in the fair light of emotions and options embroidery.

- TriviaThe exterior of the Broadway house used for the choir's concert is the Belasco Theatre on 44th Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues in New York City, but the interior bears no resemblance whatsoever to the inside of that playhouse. It is actually the Knight Theater in Charlotte, NC
- GoofsWhen Katherine receives the severe weather alert on her cell phone, the word "eminent" is used when the word should be "imminent." This slight misspellings changes the meaning of the word. ("Eminent" means "prominent, famous." "Imminent" means "threatening.")
