Great for the whole family!

Rating: 8/10 (14 March 2008)

Sure, it may be cheesy, and a bit corny, but love, redemption, reunions of a family with fairytale scripts and a GREAT ENDING makes the popcorn taste better and the silly tears on your face as the credits roll by last a bit longer as you replay the ending 5 or 6 times. A hopeless and happy romantic and a sap for movies like this? You Bet! The music was great and while you may have to suspend belief a bit here and there, it's OK. Miracle on 34th Street doesn't hold any less importance to me knowing Santa does not exist as I have matured, but the spirit of the idea does in my heart. So wanting to see a family reunited and seeing the large strings they tug so plainly is again alright with me.
