Not many movies can retale a often told Story without boring the viewer. Solid performances and a good cast helps to keep the story moving. One thing to keep in mind though, this is not only a Christmas movie but a family orientated movie as well. I must admit that towards the end of the movie the plot takes a somewhat twist which does render a question mark. I made note that not only was this a (again) a Christmas movie but it contained the word "miracle" in the title. I won't reveal the scene but it was a bit hard to believe. I did give this movie 8 out of 10 star's mainly on the performances, believable characters and strong Story.
