Some things I liked some I did not.

Beautiful, moving film.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

This was a film that I discovered by accident. I caught the first hour and fell asleep. Then I forgot the name of it. Then a friend of mine told me the name of the film. I had to order it from Amazon so I could watch it. I was glad I bought it. This is a wonderful film. A Single Mother (Who isn't looking for love but not ruling it out) ends up driving a "Crazy Old Man" around town on Christmas Eve Day. Much to her dismay because she feels she is neglecting her child. In the course of the day she finds out that "Life is Great" "Happiness and the Truth are not always hand and hand" and a few more things! Most of all she learns that "Forgiveness is the key to life" This film is a Christmas Treasure. Look For It.

We thought it was a quick way to pass the time. Howard was fun at first but then got old. The little boy, bad actor, what a whiny little thing. How was the mom struggling? Her apt. sure looked nice to me. Not sure what the point of the attorney was. No chemistry between the lead and the TV guy. Why have the nasty little elf? lol OK, I hope my next holiday movie is better than this one. This movie just didn't mesh.I think I'd rather watch Christmas Vacation for the 1000th time. I'll have to go check out some of the Hallmark movies that are coming out. I should have gotten a clue when they were looking for a Christmas tree in the beginning of the movie, the boy wasn't happy with the one she got, he kept repeating over and over and over "HOW COME?" At that point, I'd have taken him to the car and gone home.

I actually agree with everything Beltar said. He didn't mention that Andrea Roth is a real pleasure to look at, but she certainly is. Good story line - a girl loses her parents and husband and is left driving a limo trying to get by raising her young son. An interesting but strange rich man hires her limo on Christmas eve and has her drive him to various ice rinks where he gives out $100 bills to the people there. The news media catches on and starts following him. Some interesting twists follow, but the movie is somewhat predictable.Great cast, well done. It's on Lifetime again this year. Definitely worth watching. I'd watch it again too!

This is a cute, mostly lighthearted Christmas movie that premiered on Lifetime last night.Andrea Roth stars as Shannon, a chauffeur and single mother, who has to leave her son with a babysitter on Christmas Eve, because she has to drive an older rich man around in a limo. Fred, the rich man (played by Howard Hesseman), is an eccentric who gives away money (literally throwing dollars in the air) wherever he goes. As the movie proceeds, conflict ensues after a reporter (played by Yannick Bisson) interviews Fred and we learn a secret he has kept for a long time.I enjoyed this movie on the whole. It reminds me of so many other made-for-TV Christmas movies out there. It is a tale of forgiveness around the holidays, and also sort of a love story. I recommend it (if you like made-for-TV Christmas movies).
