Wonderful! The story is interesting, effects are astounding, and last but not least, acting was superb. Surprising to see that Keaton, who mostly made comedy movies prior to this, can also do drama. A very touching, tear-jerking movie that also has some humorous moments. I have watched it with my family every year and it never fails to bring a tear to anyone's eyes. You might want to watch with a box of tissues.

Great movie, little suspense little excitement a little adventure, great for anybody who likes Christmas movies they acting as great it's kind of an emotional roller coaster I would recommend it to anybody, especially if you have older kids. It does deal with the loss of a loved one

It's a great movie about second chances and it never being too late to strengthen the bond of family. It's a holiday regular favorite in our home. It may not be a millennials choice of real life tv but it's a wholesome fantasy movie that allows you to use your imagination and just have fun!!❄️
