I'm 45 and took the kids. My 10-year-old daughter loved it, and even her 13-year-old brother thought it was great! He wouldn't even go back to the... concession stand to get a free drink refill (comes with the large) because he didn't want to miss anything! I've found myself thinking about it since seeing it. I'm pretty sure it's in my top 5 favorites, and I'm a pretty harsh critic. It's the perfect family movie...the perfect date movie...heck, it's just about the perfect movie! Unlike its critics, it's HAPPY!!! GO SEE IT!! Full Review

In 2005 my brother and his wife had our grandfather's clock restored and then gave it to me. Master Clock Maker, Greg Podgorski did a wonderful... oration and I enjoy its subtle "gong."\nIt sits on the fireplace mantle of our Lake Amistad home just north of Del Rio, Texas. Full Review

I took my 4 children ages 2,3,5,and7. All of them LOVED it. And so did my husband and I. I will definitely buy it when it comes out. It made me... onder on my life...I definitely want to live in a way that I feel good about the time spent on this earth. I think this is what a family movie should be all about. It's about believeing in yourself, in others, and not being to BUSY to play, imagine, dream, and have FUN!!! GO SEE IT!!! Full Review

This movie was great! And the characters was the best I've seen in a Christmas movie. It touched your life in so many ways and the love for the... r was touching. The heart breaker was the son leaving but when he returned home It was the true highlight of the movie. Full Review

Hoffman has countless characters inside of him, and this is one of his nicest.Full Review

Helm gets huge bonus points for noticing everything that's annoying about modern children's films and including none of those things in his movie.Full Review

San Francisco Chronicle
Writer/director Zach Helm, who wrote "Stranger Than Fiction," achieves bursts of charm and whimsy, but not quite enough magic to elicit a consistent sense of wonderment.Full Review
Claudia Puig
USA Today
Sprinkles in charming moments but ultimately doesn't evoke enough wonderment to overcome its tongue-twisting title and completely win over adults along with kids.Full Review
Brian Lowry
Variety
While endearingly heartfelt and G-rated to boot, its storytelling suffers from a lack of locomotive force and characters that feel disappointingly two-dimensional.Full Review
