    What a wonderful surprise!

    I didn't expect much from this movie, but was happily surprised. Great story, with great actors. A true Happy Christmas movie. I loved the fact that the main character wasn't the "beauty standard", according to society. It was less distracting and really let her light shine. Loretta Devine was just wonderful in this role. But, who are we kidding... she always is. Heartwarming and realistic (well, as far as real people in the real world goes). I laughed, I awed, I danced and my heart was happy. I recommend this to anyone who wants to watch a fresh take on the typical Christmas movies out there!
