Hysterically wonderful
We went to the premier with out 8 and 10 year old daughters with cautious optimism as there has not been a worthy Christmas movie since Elf. To our amazement we were entertained for the full 90 minutes. The lead actor Wyatt Ralff made his on screen debut with the flare of a seasoned professional (and to think he is only 10). The casting was perfect and the set was realistic 1960’s. Growing up catholic, It brought back many childhood memories. The audience was engaged and laughing throughout the premier. Narration by Chevy Chase was perfection. It is destine to become a Christmas classic. A must see for all ages.

Way to kick off the holiday season!
Full disclosure, have read the book by Wally Lamb – truly a great American writer – upon which the movie is based. The book is a highly entertaining, compulsively readable, heartwarming novel — and I’m happy to report that the film actually does the book justice!

Was lucky enough to attend a theatrical screening in NYC, and can definitely see this becoming one of those Christmas movies that everyone waits for, year after year, to be broadcast on TV, such as Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol starring George C. Scott and A Christmas Story…

The movie evokes the era quite wonderfully, the child actors are a talented group (and actually likable) — standouts are the kid who plays Felix, the girl who plays his love interest/arch enemy (ah puberty), the kid who delivers his “NAACP” punchline perfectly throughout, especially at the very end of the movie, and the Russian student who resembles a 13 year-old Uma Thurman. Familiar faces include Molly Ringwald and the lady from Two and Half Men, and the the criminally underemployed Annabella Sciorra (great in her short stint – one season? – on Law & Order: Criminal Intent), who is lovely as Felix’s mother.

An added bonus is that the movie has quite a few ‘inside jokes’ for anyone who has ever attended a parochial school, or who has any experience whatsoever with a “Live Nativity” or “Christmas Pageant.”

If you are looking to kick off the holiday season, and pretty much smile from ear-to-ear for two hours straight, be sure to check out this movie. The best new Christmas-flavored movie to come along in a very long time…
