Very sweet story that just reinforces the beauty and magic of small towns and the love they give. The ending was a little TOO perfect, but it was good.

A community deals with a young girl's illness.
michaelRokeefe14 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Bring out a supply of clean hankies. This Hallmark Christmas movie is not the usual Christmas fare. Tom (John Corbett) and Beth (Sarah Paulson) are coping with their young daughter's battle with cancer. Tom comes up with the plan of speeding up Thanksgiving and Christmas just in case little Vanessa (Emily Alyn Lind) doesn't survive her battle. A quiet neighboring farmer (Sam Elliot) perceives a way to bring the whole community together to rally around to bring encouragement to the young girl. Heartwarming and sensitive with a very likable cast.
So tender and inspiring
MickyG33317 December 2022
8.0 stars.
I often wonder how movie makers create such inspiration. The directing is superb, and the music is wonderful and sets the mood throughout.
The genuine portrayal of the girl with cancer, this little girl can act, she has a rare gift. You either got it or you don't. The little boy is good too, for his part. The parents feed off each other, she with her very nervous and fearful state of mind, asking her husband, asking God - why couldn't she be sick instead of her little girl. I cried, so moving. And the father, he tries to be a rock for the family, but you can see he's cracking just a little. Sam Elliot, my goodness does he act this part so well. What a fantastic interpretation of an old timer farmer full of empathy and love for all. All of the characters blend so well in this, the movie is seamless, and time passes so quickly.
The side story with the teenage girl who wants to be a writer. I really liked her character, and wish they would have developed it a bit more, maybe she wrote the children's book about the past, and would have liked to see all the other folks at the end too. They could have extended the last scene another few minutes to provide better closure for everyone, much potential was squandered.
You MUST SEE this movie. It will inspire you to become better.

If all movies were like this I would actually watch TV or go to the movies! This was an excellent film, well written, well directed, well acted. It's all about relationships, and that's what life is about! Thanks to Hallmark for another outstanding performance and to the wonderful cast! I appreciated the fact that God and prayer were given proper respect and significance. I also appreciated the way our human condition (sickness, broken relationships, death) was dealt with as being a part of life. Life isn't always fair and hard times come, but the way we deal with it speaks of character and faith and perseverance, and taking joy where we find it. This is one movie that I would actually buy and make a family tradition to watch. Thank you!
November Christmas 2013
hawgcaller26 November 2013
As I was flipping channels, looking for something interesting, I found November Christmas. As I checked on the information, I saw that Sam Elliot was in this movie. Enough for me to watch......
I once read where he saw some parts that he had passed up on, then later thought that he could have done that...
I have always admired his work and felt that he could have/should have been a mega star, very much in the caliber of John Wayne, just in our era of time.
In my view, we do not have many actors in the caliber of our hero, John Wayne. Mr Elliot has stretched his acting legs many times, in different movies and different types of roles and he has excelled in each, as I expected.
In "November Christmas", Sam plays an aging neighbor to a family in crisis.This family in crisis, allows him to do a "do over" from a crisis in his past. This is something that he missed in his real life, so he gets to address that concept on screen. Sam personifies someone that is bitter from circumstances of the past, who transforms into a wonderful, Grandfatherly figure, with a new opportunity to right the past. He does just that, in grand fashion. It is saddening for me to understand what his age is, and to know that even tho he never attained the reputation of a John Wayne, He will always be a hero for me, and a truly grand actor, in my view.

Get the tissue ready for this emotion-packed movie
SimonJack30 November 2016
This is a superb film for the Christmas season. But, unless one usually has a supply of tissue on hand for this time of year, it is wise to be prepared before sitting down to watch "November Christmas." This is definitely a full box tissue movie for the ladies, and a hankie soaker for most men.
The movie goes at a very slow pace, but that's dictated by the story circumstances. Vanessa Marks is an 8-year-old girl who is being treated for cancer. And, some of the people in the rural New England town her family has moved to are hurting from their pasts. Nearly every scene is packed with emotion. I won't say more about the plot, but note that there are several smaller stories built into this one movie. And, it's done superbly.
Families that have experienced childhood or adult illnesses, especially, know the difficulties, the daily struggles, and the sadness. And, hopefully, most who have, also will have known the closeness, comfort and love that brings families and people together. My thanks to Greg Coppa, whose short story this film was based on. It shows how a child's cancer can bring out the best in people. And how it can lead to restoring friendships, healing personal hurts from similar losses, and neighborly caring and love.
The cast all are excellent in their performances. Especially worth noting is Emily Alyn Lind who plays Vanessa. Hallmark came up with a very different plot that makes this one of its "very best" Christmas movies of recent decades. It was filmed in Nova Scotia.
Here are some favorite lines from this film.
Claire Sanford, "Some women get diamonds. You shower me with pumpkins." Jess Sanford, "Got a bit carried away."
Jess Sanford, "I don't think anybody really knows if they're good at anything until they try it."

Moving With A Capital M

Warning: Spoilers
Like most Hallmark Hall Of Fame presentations, this one really tugs at the heartstrings. Very moving, and touching. You fall in love with all the chacters.
I've been watching Sam Elliott since he did Lifeguard 35 years ago. This just might be his best role yet. Mr. Sanford is a man anyone would want to have as a friend. The little girl who plays the central character is just charming. Sometimes a role like this can be overdone, and not believable, but this is definitely not the case here.
I think the best thing about the film, is its theme of redemption. Virtually all the characters are redeemed, and restored. It sets out to show the good in people and how life triumphs. It succeeds wonderfully.
The only minor negative is that by knowing the ultimate outcome in advance (which the film shows) it might lessen the emotional impact for some people. Than again, I can't think of anyone who would really want to see the outcome that you'd think would happen.
I hope they show this film again. It would make a perfect DVD for a family to rent, and not just at Christmastime, but any time of year.

Jackbv12315 July 2020
It's Hallmark, but not a romance story. Instead it's a story about a little girl with cancer. It's about her story and her family's story and about a nearby farmer who reaches out to support the struggling family. It's a story about what some extra effort from friends and neighbors can do to ease the road for a family who has "been dealt a bad hand" as Jess tells Tom.
The elements are there that make it hard not to have a story that brings tears to your eyes. The acting and direction do what's needed to make this happen.
The ending is kind of abrupt. It's plenty teary, but makes a leap that left some things not quite complete. For example, I would have loved to know more about the waitress/writer. Also, it wasn't much of a surprise, but I wouldn't have had the result any other way.
The movie is adapted from a short story and the story in the movie is a little thin because much of the screen time is spent developing characters' feelings and relationships rather than plot twists and other devices.

I did miss the beginning of this movie but quickly found myself involved in it fully. This movie made me long for a time when you knew your neighbours and could count on them when you needed them. The neighbours in this movie go above and beyond with their wonderful surprises to make a little girl happy. I say get yourself a hot chocolate, a nice warm fuzzy blanket and a box of tissues for all those tender moments! This movie was well directed and the actors truly brought the characters to life. The scenery was also quite beautiful, I believe it was filmed in Nova Scotia. The Christmas Tree farm is especially beautiful! Just when I finished having a tearful moment over an act of kindness, they would come up with another one. If more movies were made like this I would honestly enjoy watching TV more. November Christmas is totally a family movie, no need to worry about foul language, nudity or violence. I would definitely recommend this movie and look forward to seeing it again.
Christmas comes early
Prismark1010 January 2016
November Christmas is a sentimental movie with not much of a festive theme until the end of the film.
A Rhode Island community get together to help out the parents of a severely ill 8 year old girl. Sam Elliot is the curmudgeon who suffered a loss of a child some years earlier and recognises what John Corbett is going through and realise what he is up to.
Fearing the worse Corbett wants to give his daughter an early Halloween and Christmas in case she does not make it through to the end of the year. The small town rally round once they find about the little girl's condition.
The film is sentimental, light on plot but the direction is sensitive and the film is told in flash back which leads to an encouraging ending.

"November Christmas" is the name of a story a pretty blonde girl is reading to children at a library. We find out later it is based on the real (in this movie) life of 8-year-old Vanessa--though some details in the story being read are a little different.
15 years earlier, Tom and Beth are new in the small community. We never learn what work Tom does, but he and Beth spend a lot of time with their daughter Vanessa, who has been in the hospital a lot. Vanessa has no hair but a cheerful attitude for the most part. Her 4-year-old brother Gordon seems to accept what is going on better than many his age. Tom visits Jess' farm to buy vegetables, but he later shows up in the middle of summer wanting pumpkins. The reason: Tom is worried Vanessa might not survive to see Halloween.
Jess and his friend, who have both suffered losses in their lives, go to a relative of Jess who already has pumpkins, and they come back with a big load, and a possible second wife for Jess' friend.
Vanessa has a new friend, a teenage waitress who is a talented artist and aspiring writer, though right now she must work for her demanding uncle at his diner. Meanwhile, Beth is helping out with story time at the library, where Jess' wife Claire used to work and still volunteers some.
If Vanessa continues to go downhill, she also won't see Christmas. It just so happens Jess grows Christmas trees, and Tom goes to pick one out.
Jess is going through a lot of bitterness, but helping this family helps him a lot, and he becomes a kind and loving grandfather type.
Eventually the whole town knows about Vanessa's plight, and what happens next is truly a Christmas miracle.
Will Vanessa make it? I will say that the movie has a happy ending.
The story is great, and the holidays are celebrated just as one might expect--just at different times.
Everyone involved gives a great performance, but I believe Sam Elliott stands out from the group. If anyone gets an Emmy nomination, I believe it will be him.
Emily Alyn Lind certainly deserves something, though most likely she would be nominated only in a category that favors kids. Vanessa keeps her attitude positive so much of the time.
It was worthy of the name Hallmark Hall of Fame.

So well done it seems like a true live story
landmarkbaptist11 November 2013
this is so well done and such a heart warming story that it seems like it was written from a true situation. I Lost my mother and a brother in law to cancer and this movie just warms my heart every time I get to watch it.
if this is not based on a real life situation I would hope that people in real life would would do something like this for someone suffering from cancer no matter their age but especially for a child.
I have Watched this movie a couple of times and every time it tugs at my heart and puts tears in my eyes.
as others have said you fall in love with all the characters and to the point you wish you could have taken part in the making of this movie.
I would suggest this move to everyone to watch this beautiful movie

What Most Films should strive for
elsalions25 August 2017
We all know Christmas movies can get bad. I am sure there is plenty examples of bad Christmas movies.
Now if I asked 10 people "What is One of the worse Christmas movie you have ever seen" I will get 10 different examples.
Now if I asked the same 10 people what is the best Christmas movie you ever seen chances are they will say "November Christmas" that is if they have seen it!
A father of a "Cancer stricken child" bumps up the holidays just to cheer up her child. By doing these the father inspires his town to mend fences and that "The Christmas Spirit" does not exclusive to December.
Not to be missed!

I watched this because I was looking for some hope and to get into the Christmas spirit.
The story was absolutely heartwarming and uplifting. The casting was on point. I do feel the ending was a little rushed and wish the movie had been longer, but I still loved it.

Warning: Spoilers
If this film doesn't bring out the "onions" and leave a few wet tissues from your eyes then nothing will. This is a story of love, compassion and people helping each other. And very soft spoken. No disagreements that can't easily be ironed out. And even in real life, why can't they be?
Cancer survivor tells about her ordeal via flashback 15 years earlier at the age of 8. The focus is entirely on Vanessa and not any romantic triangles like most Hallmark Christmas films and no troublemakers, only Vanessa's cancer which the outcome seems dicey at best. Only a small number of these films contain a big American star. Sam Elliott, then 66, plays the ever helping, soft spoken and compassionate nearby neighbor, never taking a dime for anything and making a 200 mile drive to New Jersey to pick up a load of pumpkins (which would suggest this takes place in northern Massachussetts, or southern Vermont or New Hampshire) and asking nothing in return. His part knows tragedy in the loss of a child some years earlier and a friendship that went sour but is mended here. And as the film moves along it only gets better as the whole town puts up it's decorations early and a great November Christmas for Vanessa.
I get tired of Hallmark and other films of this nature being called cheesy and other things along the line. What's wrong with good things happening? Or what's wrong with characters who are always cheerful and smiling and above all, giving acts of kindness? The answer is nothing's wrong and it's more common than people think. You Tube is full of short videos with acts of kindness and other wonderful endings. It's very real.

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.
A small community comes together to create special Halloween and Christmas moments several weeks early for Vanessa Marks, an 8-year- old girl with a life-threatening illness.
After the father quietly asks a neighboring farmer (Sam Elliott) about buying pumpkins - and later Christmas trees - the farmer figures out that the father is trying to speed up the holidays so that Vanessa will have one more Christmas!
To give anymore of the plot away would be a huge mistake. I will say this film captures everything in a realistic manner. All motivations from everyone seem "Realistic".
If you lost a child I think this film would be very hard to watch. However the film does show (Like In Real Life) how all of us hurt in someway! It also shows that at times "It Does Take A Village".
Have a tissue or two handy.
Great Film

This person is would not know a good movie if it reached out and clobbered them! All you have to do is look at all the other reviews and see that this person is a 'JOKE'! The ending of the movie was perfectly done and as a whole the movie was one of the best I have seen in a long time! I really felt moved by how the whole town came out and gave this little girl Christmas in November so that she would be able to have Christmas at home since she was most likely going to have to spend it in the hospital.
The only thing that I found wrong with the film was that it seemed as if they left us hanging on the story of the teenage writer who befriended the little girl. It would have been nice to know what happened to her in the future.

We only recently stumbled across this 12 year-old film (as I type) and only then because I noticed Sam Elliot is in it.
A little girl has leukemia and may not make it until Christmas, so her father arranges to move up all the holidays to try to squeeze them in before the worst might happen.
It's no spoiler to reveal that the little girl recovers, because the movie leads with her as an adult, and the whole movie is a flashback into a book she wrote about her childhood.
Sam Elliot's character runs a nearby farm, and he had also lost a child. When he gets wind of what's happening, he helps. Eventually, the entire town helps. The movie is warm and moving, and immediately when into our favorites list for the holiday season.

What in the world happened?
elliewarner29 November 2010
A poignant story of families facing heartbreak with excellent acting, endearing characters and believability
UNTIL, very near the end
it suddenly becomes a moronic public service announcement. Several characters are gathered in the town diner when tired old clichés such as "that's what it's all about, isn't it ~ helping your neighbor and giving back" suddenly start tumbling out of everyone's mouth. It is mind boggling and such a departure from the rest of the movie which managed to be both heart wrenching and heart warming without having to explain to viewers, in the most condescending way, what it all meant. I was suddenly cured of any emotional connection to the characters as I watched this inane transition to PC drivel. All tears dried up but quick. Then, the ending
Gads, it was so cheesy and saccharine sweet. It was almost like a parody and did not belong in this movie. I cannot imagine what happened behind the scenes to ruin what could have been a first class motion picture. What an embarrassing ending.
One of the most tear jerking movies I have seen
carlosleyequienabarca26 December 2023
Seriously, I had not cried this much since "Instructions not included"
This movie is so sweet, and it specially hits those that have had a loss in their life
Goes to show the way communities should be, caring, compassionate, united and helpful and also how families should be united in the hard times, instead of breaking apart, how each other's strenght helps get through those times
Great movie for the season, and teaches you what a friend told me a long time ago, expect the best while preparing for the worst
The acting is good, this movie has a good actor ensemle, which is great, but it is not only that, they deliver the acting with passion, which is what makes this movie such a tear jerker
Highly recommended :)

A community comes together to help a family dealing with a young child's cancer. No Christmas prince. No saving the family farm. No girl from the city falls in love with the backwoods boy. But it was just a great Christmas story. The acting is great and the music is good too. You can tell it was made with a purpose of doing a good story rather than a bajillion Christmas movies with nonstop quantity.
Would recommend and watch ever Year.
