BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.
When her mean-spirited, old landlord decides to evict a long time candy store tenant because he can make more money at the location if it was a laundry mat.
AS night approaches a freak Christmas Snow Strom comes and changes the lives of everyone in the story.
This is a sweet little movie. It runs only one hour, IT moves swiftly and it is very creative. The children act like "Real Children" and story never drifts into melodrama. What I love most about this film was the fact that acts of kindness does have it own reward.
This is a film I will watch every year. It is family safe and its a perfect film to start off your Christmas Season.
Well Worth a Purchase

When her mean-spirited, old landlord goes missing during a blizzard on Christmas Eve, Mrs. Mutterance and her children set out to search for him when nobody else will. What is shocking is the woman that sets out to find him is about to be thrown out of her home and business by the same man she sets out to find. Katherine Helmond, Kimble Joyner, Melissa Joan Hart, and Sid Caesar star.
This film is not perfect but it as overall wonderful feeling about it. I love the lesson it has "Between The Lines". The message is "Just because someone is mean and rude to you does not give you an excuse to act the same".
Watch with your family!

Watch with your family!
Widow Mutterance (Katherine Helmond) has a run a candy store for years. She lives in the place's back quarters with her two adopted children, Amy (a tiny Melissa Joan Hart) and Wallace (Kimble Joyner). On the second floor, the building's grumpy owner, Snyder (Sid Caesar) makes his home. The candy sales have been rather poor lately, even though Christmas is very near, which makes Snyder even more touchy. Now he tells the widow that she is going to be evicted at the end of the year and he is turning the downstairs into a laundromat. Goodness! Naturally, Mrs. Mutterance is distraught, for the store is also home to her family. No amount of pleading or begging melts Snyder's heart. However, on the day before Christmas, it snows and Snyder suddenly turns up missing. The kids are happy, for they believe their problems will be solved. But, the widow insists that they go "look for" Snyder around the neighborhood, for he may have injured himself out in the cold and it is the right thing to do. Will they find the old codger? This is a lovely film with heart and good messages for families everywhere. Only 45 minutes in length, it nevertheless packs a punch into every minute. Regrettably, Helmond and Caesar, two great comedians, don't really get to show their comical sides but they are very touching as the film's stars. Hart and Joyner are wonderful as the kids and the other minor cast members do a nice job, too. The setting, costumes, and camera-work are merely average but the strong story and direction make the film a success. If your family, like others, needs a diversion in the days before the holiday actually arrives, this is a good viewing choice for families during the Christmas season.

I never herd of this movie! I saw the IMDb score and I had to watch this to see what the fuss is all about. Well after I watched it I understand the fuss. Set during the 1940's this is a story about how money is not everything and love and kindness is. Also miracles are all around us and, we need to open our eyes more in order to see them.
In this film a woman has small children. She is a widow who runs a candy store. She just found her landlord is tossing her because he can make more money if he put it a laundry mat.
When a freak snowstorm hits she finds out the landlord is now missing and is somewhere outside and decides to find him herself when nobody else will help.
