"Whether it is sold under the title "A Song for the Season" or "A Holiday Romance", this is a cozy, stress-buster Christmas season movie.

It has held up over several viewings for me. All of the actors are very good, as is the story. Naomi Judd's Lily Waite is just the kind of teacher you would have wished to have, or would want for your child. The

often under-rated Gerald McRaney is perfect, as is the entire cast. The small town setting of Bethleheim will make you dream of moving from the suburbs, or city. A perfect, "let's relax with a cup of cocoa" holiday movie for the whole family. Also, if you are a teacher, this one will inspire you to give it even more."

"Yes, if you're looking for a feel-good movie, you should definitely get this one. Darrah Cloud knows how to put together a story with bang-up endings, and this movie with its two story threads has two great endings, back-to-back.



But there is some bad news. Naomi Judd (unless of course you're a fan of hers) is not much of an actress here. Her scenes look more like a personal appearance, with lines.



The daughter is cute and believable. The uncle is also credible.



The love story is totally botched. The pacing is disjointed. And there is a lack of motivation. It is simply not credible, so don't expect to be touched by it.



Andy is Andy, and he adds a touch a quality that makes the others look more amateurish than they otherwise would.



The rock music (and the absence of Christmas music) was a bit grating. It was sad that the school kids couldn't relate to any Christmas carols. They had to have rock. The raw, harsh tone of the girl singing what were supposed to be Christmas songs was a dischordant note for me. Others might not be bothered.



Still, I say don't miss it. There aren't that many that you can afford to pass it up. Darrah Cloud's "A Holiday for Love" is a much better movie, so if you're only getting one, get that one instead.

"This Holiday movie is excellent. Gerald McRaney, Andy Griffith and Naomi Judd make this a very homey Christmas movie for people of all ages! I truly enjoyed watching it again this past month! I recommend it to all who love the Christmas Holidays and viewing Christmas movies. It is fun to watch even when it isn't Christmas!"

Wonderful Christmas Movie!!

"The acting in this is supurb, as is the story. I was greatly surprised at how good it was. It's a great Christmas story, adorable love story, and just a great movie to watch all year, not just at Christmas. I have definitely added this to my annual Christmas movies to watch. I have to admit, I've watched it several times since Christmas has been over!! You'll love it!!"
