In this heartwarming Christmas film, a young mother, Ginny Grainger (Mary Steenburgen), rediscovers the joy and beauty of Christmas thanks to the unshakeable faith of her six-year-old daughter (Elisabeth Harnois) and Gideon (Harry Dean Stanton), her very own guardian angel. With Gideon's help, Ginny learns that the season is about her family and other people she loves, rather than the presents and materialism heaped on by a consumerist society.

"One Magic Christmas" updates "It's a Wonderful Life"
Pros: Modern version of It's a Wonderful Life. Mary Steenburgen's performance. Cons: Not for the under 10 crowd? (why it was a box office flop?). Bottom Line: "Yes, Virginia. There is a Santa Claus"
Pros: Enjoyable cross between Miracle On 34th St. and A Christmas Carol Cons: Some content may upset the very sensitive or young. Read More at Epinions.com One Magic Christmas Isn't As Enchanting as the Title Suggests
Pros: Elisabeth Harnois, warm and fuzzy ending Cons: convoluted, shrill Steenburgen Bottom Line: Un-Magic Christmas
Pros: Cutesy kid characters. Cons: Poor casting, bad plot, even a bad cast Santa. Bottom Line: |
