My husband and I kicked off our Christmas chick flick binge watching last night with this movie. The message and storyline is timeless to everyone struggling with self image. The line-up of character's is strong and wonderfully cast. Who doesn't love John Schneider, Corbin Bernsen, and the iconic voice of Delilah?
I know it's a good movie when my husband gets the subtleties of humor and belly laughs out loud. Like any filmmaker, our critical eye notices hiccups and underdeveloped touch points. Ie: Spoiler Alert... perhaps a more compelling reason to suspect what "Pastor Josh" may have done with the bracelet... like maybe had given it to a past girlfriend... ??? Although I know Jim is a man of character, I kinda wanted to have some doubt about it, since Belle was really the one who's character was in question by his mom the whole time. Anyway, purely my own opinion.
Great acting by young and old alike! Great sets! and again, love the overall messaging! Thanks for helping us kick our season off!
