I give it an 8 of 10 for what it is - a feel-good family oriented Christmas movie. Dean Cain's aunt Rita runs an orphanage while he and wife Cheri operate a handmade toy company on their lovely farm property, complete with horses. Dean (Jack Green) and Cheri can't have children although both desperately want kids. Aunt Rita talks them into taking 3 little boys (maybe 10 YO) for the Christmas holidays and the little guys overhear Jack and Cheri talking their first night about adopting ONE of them. They begin to compete to see who can get picked and also begin to work their ways into the Greens' hearts. The little boys draw together and become the team they were before the competition and we get a sweet happily ever after ending. Watch it with kids and grandkids, completely safe for all:)

DVD Please?!

My daughter and I look forward to this Christmas movie every year. We would love to have it on DVD. Will it ever be released to DVD? We hope so. This is a sweet story about a family who take in 3 orphans during the holiday season. The bumps along the way provide for a moving adventure and a very sweet story. It is a good lesson in what the holiday season is truly about. Dean Cain does a great job portraying the owner of the ranch whose aunt helps run the local orphanage. Due to unforeseen circumstances, he and his wife, who cannot have children, end up taking in several children. In more recent years, we've only found this title on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries channel. We realize it was released back in 2009 and the viewership may just not have warranted a DVD release, but since it was a Hallmark Original, we can hope for that. We enjoy many of the family films Hallmark and Gold Crown Media release!
A great feel good Christmas movie.

I like Dean Cain. He is very good. This movie reminds me of The Three Stooges and The Little Rascals combined. It seems every time you turn around they are in trouble. Some scenes are hilarious. The library scene and the bubble organ are priceless. The cast are very good to-gether. I wish there would have been a sequel.
Good all around movie

I'm not sure why we've never seen this movie before, but so glad we finally saw it.
It's all around good, a good family film, a feel good film, the true spirit of Christmas, and both heart-warming & funny. The 3 boys are cute & sincere, while still being mischievous.
Really enjoyed this show!!!
