if this film become a holiday tradition i be go to have to hide for christmas for the rest of my life . how do you even think of compare this with a wonderful life . it be absolutely awful . the boy singing make my toe curl . and what on earth be the deal with his hair . emmy worthy performance . please . grant and lucci do ok but an emmy . i think this film be a waste of money . the fact that they stick so close to the original story pretend to give it a modern and retro touch make it even worse . it lack enthusiasm and persistence on all account . lighting and wardrobe and make up and it seem everybody want to go home . just a big no from me .
