In the decades since its release, 1947's Miracle on 34th Street has become just as indelibly part of the festive season as wrapping paper, mistletoe, overeating, and long lines at local shopping malls. Hollywood may believe that Christmas has become synonymous with comedies nowadays, but one mer... read more

“This remake is for me one of the better remakes out there, but it lacks the charm, magic and heart of the original, which I consider one of the best Christmas movies of all time for several reasons(Edmund Gwenn's performance being a pivotal one).
So what were the film's flaws? Well while I thought the last act was very well done and strong, the first act especially is rather juvenile and is hard to get into. The script lacks sparkle and could have done with more sophistication, and I found Dylan McDermott rather flat as Bryan Bedford.
However, it is beautifully filmed, perhaps looking a little more slicker than the original, and the score is sweet. The direction is good on the whole, while with the exception of McDermott the acting is fine. As Kris Kringle, Richard Atte” read more

Winter 2020 Viewings (36 movies items)"Format: DVD Viewing: 3rd Thoughts: All comparisons aside, this is a very solid holiday movie in its own right thanks to that special John Hughes touch. Attenborough is perfect for this role, and the courtroom scenes were a delight. I feel like this movie is often overlooked in top holiday movies, but it's definitely included in my list. "
