As soon as you see the cover for
A Christmas Wish you know it's a happy ever after film that makes easy watching!
Starring
Kristy Swanson, Tess Harper and Edward Herrmann, the storyline for
A Christmas Wish is simple – after her husband has left with all their money
single mother leaves home with her three children and ends up in a
small town where the good folk ensure the
family eventually find a home for
Christmas.
Although there are a few
dark moments (especially when the grumpy
motel owner wants them out on Christmas eve and
erstwhile husband turns up to collect his son) this is one of those
films where almost everyone is too good to be true! But hey it's
Christmas so why not suspend belief and enjoy?
A Christmas Wish doesn't hold a candle to
It's a Wonderful Life or
Miracle on 34th Street (both versions) but it may make you smile from time to time.
