Sentiment: positive

Review: perfect family film to take everyone to since there 's no new `` a christmas carol '' out in the theaters this year 
Sentiment: positive

Review: real stars 
Sentiment: positive

Review: each other so intensely , but with restraint 
Sentiment: positive


Review: comes off more like a misdemeanor , a flat , unconvincing drama that never catches fire .
