Christmas Movie

Beth is a terrible sister. When she first sees her mother, she cries like a nine-year-old "she took my doll"... Beth is selfish and self-centered.. because she has a job in the city. She thinks that because the type of job she has, she thinks that her poo poo don't stink...Sara took on this role of caring for their father.. Sarah put her life on hold to take care of her father which in my book is way above and beyond what a daughter can do. Beth talks to her mother like a little kid..." Certain things she tells her mother "is none of her business"! Beth needs to just grow up. Beth literally looked jealous and tried to flirt with the guy who brought the Christmas tree, like really Beth! No girlfriend, you got your city husband over there and you try to flirt with that guy! Let Sarah have this one! Selfish Beth!! And then Beth is talking to her mom in the kitchen and her mom is telling her that you know that that's why she came back to help her fix Beth's problem, then Beth comes back and tells her" I'm an adult now you make me feel like a nine-year-old"... well proven point she acts like a nine-year-old crying over her doll. She acts like a nine-year-old with her selfish behavior. Enough said.

A real angel for Christmas

I was watching this film today and at first I thought it was maudlin and sentimental. Then as it got closer toward a climax I was thinking how wonderful it was for Ronny Cox and daughters Natasha Gregson Wagner and Tracey Needham to get a return visit from his late wife and their mother Meredith Baxter. And just in time for Christmas.Call me a sentimental fool, but I have to say I wouldn't mind a return visit from both my parents and my sister who've gone from this life.That's what happens to Cox after he sustains a mild stroke and for his recovery Wagner takes him back to the small town and the house that they grew up in. She also calls Tracey Needham in who has moved to another big city and is an advertising executive. When they get home certain things start to happen as if by magic. Cox knows what's going on, but eventually the daughters are clued in when Meredith Baxter returns from the beyond to spend Christmas with her still earthbound family.As you can imagine a whole range of issues bothering the still living relatives are thrashed out to the point where the film is getting a bit bogged down. I guess it's what happens when you have an Angel In The Family and they come calling. Angel In The Family is somewhat talky and verbose, but who could argue with a wonderful concept that I only wished happened in my life. And I suspect those of you reading this will feel likewise.
