The main message of this movie is about giving selflessly. And it comes about so automatically that I think it's a wonderful thing to remember all year round, not just Christmas. However the script leaves much to be desired. I don't want to use details that would be spoilers, but a little boy blackmails, and he does so repeatedly without this seeming in anyway to be the wrong thing to do. A man takes secret pictures of people without them knowing it which is a bit creepy considering who he is. It never does say whether he's going to suddenly post them or if it's just for his own benefit, but either way it just felt off. And the pace could've been more uplifting in spirit rather than so low-key considering the positive all-around message. So I had definitely mixed feelings. I wish this was remade in a different way because I think it is a great idea, but it just needed to be handled differently.
