- GoofsIn the beginning of the movie, teen age Rickey Hill is driving a 1973 mustang fastback. The year is 1975 in the movie. How does a 2 year old mustang look beat up like a 40 year old mustang? Also the mustang has modern machined aluminum wheels that were only available in the last 30 years, not 50.

Featured review
Sappy, and a great spotlight on hypocrisy
Prepare for a preachy dose of diabetic coma, but the movie is quite watchable. I think it was unintentional, but it also tells the story of his hypocrite father. Dad had no qualms in following his calling to the detriment of his family but did all he could to deny that opportunity to his son. It's always enjoyable to see the story of someone I never knew existed, and this guy was in that category. The movie could have done with a little more salt and less sugar, as it lands right in the genre of a "Hallmark Christmas movie". But if Rickey Hill had as much input as I've read, then I guess that's what he wanted.
