Only complaint is the terrible sound quality. It differs in volume greatly from music and intense sound effects to casual convo meaning you gotta keep the volume control close by. The movie itself is delightful. If you don't like it you don't get it and that's on you not this wonderful little xmas story

Yes, it's corny and cheesy, but it has a lot of heart. A great little movie that I enjoy every year.
