I have watched this movie every year that I have had it at Christmas time. I feel that it really shows the true meaning of Christmas.
While I really enjoy the performances of Tom Wopat and John Schnieder, I think that the actor who plays Mike, Zachary Ansley, does the best job as he transforms from rebellious Juvenile Deliquent to a dependable, and upright young man.
There are several other good scenes, including the poetry-spouting policeman, the delivery scene, and the final scene at Al's house.
I would recommend this movie to all families, but there is some bad language and violence.
