Viewer Reviews
If I were able to actually rate all my Christmas movies, this one wouldn't make the top 10 but my wife and I would definitely watch it. Our Christmas season needs more than a top 10 so this one makes the cut. Yeah, the cinematography is flat, dull and dreary in places but cameras and broadcasts and VHS did have their limitations way back then. Time travel isn't always what I expected either. I appreciate all the other reviews because I get to do what I like best; speak my feelings. When it's all said and done that's about all we can hope for. If I tried to tell the plot, the rest of the reviewers have already spoken well. If you're an adult who still values the Christmas season and cherishes all those from childhood and have no intention of letting the kids have all the fun, then you'll enjoy a visit to the cabin where Jason Robards and Julie Christie spent Christmas. I can see how the younger set may not give this film many thumbs up but that's okay too. They may not like the ending but John Tanner took action in his life and, in the end, came back to exchange books with a lovely lady in a diner where the waitress knows his name. I'll bet next Christmas, Mr. Tanner and his new wife visit the kids and their kids and on another snowy Christmas they all go back to the cabin again, just for old time sake, really split the wood and haul it in where they spend some real time learning about fires that snap, crackle and pop. Anyway, if you're still serious about Christmas, add this if you have thirty or so and you still watch them.
