It's cute and the history makes you like the guy...but giving gifts while you're unemployed and not even worried about to look for a job is non sense.
Loved the story of a lottery winner ($50,000) suddenly deciding to help pay off a stranger's store card balance - we'd do the same in similar circumstances. This snowballed into further anonymous charitable acts. Unfortunately it veered off to a predictable love story. The girlfriend who appeared to be a little nasty, and an older woman whose son he befriends. Unfortunately the son, I think, has a disability (similar to Jimmy Clitheroe - growth issues). I thought he was little different, especially to have braces on his teeth at such a seemingly young age. But the story does progress with the hullabaloo of the anonymous acts of kindness and this gives the film the warm, feelgood factor
The vibe and staging of this movie is not that very Christmasy. But the acting is quite good.
Not good not bad but pleasantly better than you would think from the description. The lead guy who looks and speaks like Alistair Cook is very good in the role, very likeable and is given a decent script. The lead females each have a few irritating traits and the young boy, daft name aside is good too
Why do so many of these supposedly romantic Christmas films feature a person who is engaged falling in love with someone who is not their fiancé? How is that festive? Even if their fiancé is not right for them, it's not a good or romantic thing to do.
Unfortunately it's ruined by a bad child actor who was given an unlikable character. Am I supposed to find the disobedient kid who blackmails someone doing something nice, cute? Because no, I hate that kid. Maybe his acting sucks so much because he hates being that kid. Anyway, there are better movies out there, but this one is okay in a pinch.
