| | Anonymous 06/05/2010 | I Love this movie. I wish it was on TV often. This is a movie that I would watch as a Christmas Movie. In the way that Die Hard is appropriate at Christmas time, with a little of It's A Wonderful Life thrown in.
Love evrything and everyone in this movie. Give it a shot. |
