Finally not a predictable love story

I think this one was very cute. Not so predictable and it was a relieve it's not a love story, like all the rest usually is. Ashanti's not the best actress, but Stan Shaw is excellent! Very nice little christmas gem.

Heartfelt, musical fun until writers go off the rails in the last scene

The 98% of the film was very good! Hence my high rating. BUT, how can writers do this? Fred has throat cancer, has had most all treatment including chemo and tell his doctor he will never have the recommended surgery needed to lengthen his life. He has lost all and refuses to lose his voice to the surgery. This all happens while Fred has been and is still estranged for 3-0 years from his daughter and two grand daughters. IN the last scene Fred has, as expected, reconciled, daughter and kids in his room and he's been invited to live with them. Fred adores the three of them more then anything in the world. Hence, when the doctor enters the room I assume Fred will ask for the life extending surgery, the only means he knows of that will give him the gift of more TIME with his daughter and yound grand daughters. Instead, Fred barks at the doctor saying, "I'll never have that surgery." WOW, being able to sing is more important then his re-found family. Totally absurd. After, the doc pitches Fred a new treatment. Fred did not know this when he again refused surgery. There is no discussion as to which, the surgery or new drug will give Fed more time. He's not at all interested in knowing that. Could be one year with the drug and 5 years with the surgery, Fred could not care less so long as he can sing a tune. Failed writing team! Fred should have opted for family first and foremost and changed his mind on the surgery! Proper end of story.
