The Christmas Shoes (2002)

Warm and toasty feelings for Christmas...for sure

The Christmas Shoes This movie along with 'Christmas Blessing' are on the caliber of Hallmark Hall of Fame movies. One is sequel to the other. They truly are the embodiment of the Christmas spirit, with all the warmth and love joining struggles in life. They go together and they are worth the buy....I gave both of them to four different households last Christmas...that's how much I treasured them. June 24, 2008

The Christmas Shoes

The Ordering of the product was easy, and fast. The shipping of the product was very quick and timely. The movie arrived in good condition. The actual feature on a scale of 1 to 10 was a 7. I know the movie is based on a book and a favorite Christmas song, The movie was good, but it is always a little hard dealing with death around the holidays, even in a movie. I actually give it 3.5 stars. June 6, 2008

An Amazing Story With a Powerful Message

I was prepared for the tragic feeling of the movie, since it was based off the country song "The Christmas Shoes" which tells the tale of a little boy who wishes to purchase a special pair of shoes for his mother to visit Jesus in.

What I wasn't prepared for was the amazing acting skills of those that starred in the movie, and the creative storytelling that was used to turn this song into a story.

The little boys is a skilled and powerful actor who had us believing from start to finish that this was sincerely happening to him. A rarity in child acting. The story was a sad one, and doesn't end the way that the world would probably wish it to end, however my entire family enjoyed the tears and it brought us closer.

It also sent the message loud and clear that family is the most important thing, and while maybe a small town, sappy tear-jerker isn't everyone's favorite type, it sure was ours.

We long to live in a beautiful small town just as it appeared in the movie, and were thankful for the gift we received by learning a powerful message in the end.

We borrowed the movie from the library and watched it twice. We loved it so much we purchased it brand new (not used) from Amazon today. March 21, 2008
