Movie Reviews of Comfort and Joy
Movie Review: Wonderful Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
I happened to catch this on Lifetime when it aired and was thrilled when it was released to DVD. This movie is just wonderful to watch. It makes you feel good at the end. Here's why:
First, the kids in the film are very sweet and in no way obnoxious. They are a delight to watch, and their interaction with other actors is right on the mark. There is no worry that they will become brats in an effort to make them "cute". None of that stuff in this movie. Just really great kids.
The supporting cast is finely crafted and knits together all the quirky aspects of families, including some painful ones, such as divorce. It all works through great dialogue and veteran actors who know their stuff.
Steven Eckoldt is a charm on the screen as Jane's husband, Sam. He brings a warmth and understanding to the story that makes this film work. Otherwise, it might as well have never been filmed.
And finally, there's Nancy McKeon, who has to bring on both comedy and drama as her character of Jane Berry tries to get back to reality after an accident. She does it well and definitely pulls off what can be a cliched Christmas theme. It's not an overcooked performance, and her scenes with her "family" come off as if they really had fun doing them. It's fun to see her transformation in this film from high-powered executive to unexpected housewife and mother.
This is a genuinely good film that didn't get enough attention, in my opinion. It is a feel-good movie that is completely worth the buy and will become a favorite during the Christmas season, guaranteed!
