Eventually, Matthew realizes he must make some desperate business decisions by laying his employees off and cancelling the pageant.

    Talking Points:

    • This is a Christian movie with wonderful messages of  faith, love and hope woven throughout the film. Clarence, the young boy in the movie states that, “All things are possible for those who believe.” The young boy and his mother, Sharon, have such a strong faith and stresses the importance of that with others in the film. Sharon says, “Prayers not always answered in the way that you want, but they’re always answered.”

    Will Kids/ Teens Like It?  Maybe

    • I interviewed kids who were at the movie with their family. They liked the movie,  but thought it was too long and got boring in parts.

    Overall this is a wonderful and heartfelt film. A great family movie during the Christmas season!
