A Great Holiday Treat., 20 December 2000
Author: SanDiego from The Beach

Surprisingly entertaining feel good comedy-drama about big city surgeon Michael (Robert Hays) and his daughter who are courted to return home to the small town he grew up in to run the local hospital. His father Bob, played by Jack Palance, talks the surgeon's old girlfriend Sarah (Ann Jillian), now an animal vet and the only doctor in town, into warming up to her old boyfriend. The entire town, old friends of Michael, do their best, but Michael can't get past the recent death of his wife. Will Michael and Sarah rekindle their romance? Will Michael raise his daughter in the wholesome Mayberry town he grew up in? Will Michael run the small town hospital? We all know the answers, but the fun is watching it all unfold. Colorful supporting cast, small midwest Christmas town atmosphere, and sweet performances from the leads make this a holiday treat.
