Title: I wanted to like this movie but...
Review: I wanted to like this movie, but I came away thinking it had potential and did not deliver. The premise is a good one: a redemption story set in the Christmas season. Unfortunately, the script is poor and predictable. The actors, including Mickey Rooney, did as much as one can expect with a mediocre screen play. I found myself feeling sorry for the actors trying to make this dud work--- rather than empathizing with their characters as the story played out.Don't buy this movie. Send me $3 for postage and I'd be glad to send you my copy. On second thought, don't do that. That would be like giving away that old junker car knowing the new owner would be better off without it. Save your cash and get another movie you'd enjoy. There are plenty of good Christmas movies out there.
