Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 2 (130 movies items)

"Pros: The matter of factness the film presents, and never fully glosses over, until the end. The small town atmosphere Mary Steenburgen It’s a highly, under appreciated and underrated Christmas movie. Harry Dean Stanton Cons: The film, can be considerably dark for a family and Christmas film. Rated PG. The tone, at times feels very inconsistent."

Why It’s Rated (604 movies items)

"Rated: G Why it’s rated: Brief violence (someone gets shot, and dies. But that’s ok! They come back later!) and child endangerment. It’s decidedly dark, even for a Disney film."

"I'm a sucker for Christmas movies, and the ones in my collection I've pretty much seen ad nauseam. So I'm always on the lookout for ones that I haven't seen or even heard of. Well I found 2 at the Goodwill yesterday, this one from 1985 on Anchor Bay starring the always delightful Harry Dean Stanton and Mary Steenburgen. Can't wait to check it out this holiday season!"

You know......for kids! (180 movies items)

"For a Christmas film, it's pretty dark and depressing. There is a car crash, that needs involves the kids death and the dad gets killed by a bank robber. Also, Gideon at first glance, looks like some one they would have put a neighborhood watch on."
