It's a Wonderful John Denver Life

| Reviewer: Number6, The Village |
| This movie owes a lot to the Jimmy Stewart classic, "It's A Wonderful Life." George Billings is really a George Bailey sort of character, even the initials are the same. George Bailey had dreams of being an engineer. George Billings is an architect. Both are likeable guys trying to deal with life's heartaches. Yet, this movie works for many of the same reasons IAWL worked: likeable leading men we can identify with, a decent romance, a reaffirmation of life and the goodness of people, and Christmas. Certainly John Denver is no Jimmy Stewart when it comes to acting, but both can deliver an honest decency to their character. I just wish this were on DVD. |

"The Christmas Gift" is Perfect

| The Feeling of Christmas....It may be something we've all lost touch with over the years. Especially after discovering that Santa Claus wasn't "real" in those younger days. Today, that feeling of joy and warmth I've lost touch with for so long now, came back into my heart. It made me feel wonderful. I felt like a little girl again. It came back to me while watching "The Christmas Gift". I'd have to say it's my favorite Christmas movie ever, right next to that old black and white film "Miracle on 34th Street" that I loved so much during my childhood. To me, that movie served as a testament to my firm belief in Santa, as well as the joy that comes in the true spirit of Christmas. Today I found a movie that gave a similar message, only it was deeper than that. Christmas isn't just a holiday. It's a Feeling. It's that spirit of Love and Giving. And boy, it feels good to remember those feelings. To relive them. It's so nice. Like finding a piece of yourself that you remembered, but had long forgotten to feel. John Denver, and all those people in the film, were perfectly cast. Wonderful people. |
