A pleasant Christmas movie.

Becca, the granddaughter of Bert enters suddenly in the life of Bert: her mother had a car accident and is in the hospital: the social worker asks then Bert to take care for Becca. The first moments of the living together are difficult, but one night Bert sings a lullaby for her and she feels well. On the next appears Roxy Famosa and Becca sings "Jingle Bells" , Roxy encourages her to participate in the Christmas spectable. Besides Bert is astonished by so many questions of Becca about his personal life (why there is not Christmas tree in the house for exmple).

A pleasant comedy about the father-daughter relationship, about the importance of the friendship (Roxy, Carl and Adam, Christine the new friend in the school) and about the joy of singing and dancing.

I enjoyed the performances of Ernest Borgnine, Katherine Helmond , Juliette Goglia-the cute Becca-, Richard Libertiny, Tracy Nelson and Jamie Farr.
