On the eve of Christmas, four lives will cross paths by chance, love, past guilt, and divine intervention.

    The heartstring-pulling contrivances of the film, set during Christmastime, go way over the top.

    This movie is great. Why it wasn't released in the theatre is beyond me.. Very moving and you actually feel for the characters instead of like many movies where you just don't really care what happens to them. Thumbs up! And I'm not wasting my money on seeing Transformers 2 in the theater, no way!!… Expand

    A standout movie. Not a dull moment. Ambitious, thoughtful and moving -- despite imperfections like the last line, and some ideas we have seen before. Perfectly paced, fascinating and superbly acted by everyone. Watch for yourself.… Expand

    Couldn't look away. Acting by Biel and Whitaker superb! Overwrought but not boring!
