this be one of my favorite christmas movie . it be slow and to be sure and but the whole feel of it and the ambiance create be beautiful . it be such a heartfelt story and the cast be excellent . neil patrick harris still come off very young and but his work as will be multi faceted . debbie reynolds be and a always and a joy to watch and and her restrained performance help anchor the story . i usually can figure out plot twist from the get go and but the final revelation of who lillian be be a complete surprise heart wrenching and uplift all at once . if you want an intimate and heartfelt holiday movie do not miss the christmas wish .
