CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Irishchatter I loved her as Sandy in "Grease" and now with this movie, she acts like a wonderful mother to two girls. They would annoy you at first, the same time though, they were just so adorable! Newton-John and Gregory Harrison were such a lovely couple. I was so cheesed off by his character that he wasn't nice towards the mother and the two girls. I mean, I was so angry at the scene when the youngest hugged the man when he was stuck in the house for the first time and he just nearly attacked her with such abusive words. I would be raging if he did that to my child and good on Newton-John's character for giving him a taste of his own medicine haha!I really liked this film, it was so romantic and christmassy! I definitely give it a rating of 8/10, its delightful!

Christmas-Reviewer Snow strands a young widow (Olivia Newton-John) and her two daughters with a banker (Gregory Harrison) holding their eviction notice. Olvia Newton-John plays her part effortlessly. A Christmas RomanceOlivia Newton-John plays a widow with 2 young daughters living high in the mountains and facing the prospect of a bleak "Christmas" having lost her job and with the threat of the bank taking her home through non mortgage payments.Olivia's 1994 film A Christmas Romance was really Olivia's celebration that she was alive and well after her ordeal with breast cancer. The film was also special as Chloe, in her screen debut, played her on-screen daughter (billed as Chloe Lattanzi). TV Movie where a debt collector gets stranded by bad weather at the house of the lovely single mother (Olivia) he is harassing for unpaid debts....This did very well in the 1994 Christmas ratings, reaching #7 in the ratings for that week. This film is worth watching. Watch it if you get the chance. Never boring. Its one of the better Christmas TV-Films that pop up in December.

modline Olivia makes a tremendous leap in her acting abilities following a rather "wooden" (pun intended) performance as a mannequin in yet another Christmas television movie, "A Mom for Christmas." This wonderful movie co-stars Gregory Harrison, whom she would also act with in the AIDS-drama "It's My Party," and also marks the acting debut of her daughter, Chloe Rose Lattanzi, whom, much later, would become an international singing sensation in her own right.The film centers on a widowed mother of two young girls who is struggling to make ends meet in order to save the bank from foreclosing on her mountainside home. Bleak stuff for Christmas, huh? Then, along comes mean mister bank man, played by Gregory Harrison, who must give Olivia the bad news that the bank has taken over her house and she must move. All this fun on Christmas Eve...Well, along comes a storm and forces Harrison to stay with Olivia & girls , and romance ensues, but not without some trials (including a dying lamb)... It really seems bleak, but it all works out in the end, and Olivia turns in her strongest role yet.It is unbelievable that this movie has yet to be released on DVD - it was a top 10 favorite the year it was made, and has been re-run on television throughout the years since. Also, with Olivia's (and now Chloe's) popularity, the movie would surely be a strong seller. Repeated viewings have proved just how strong this film is, and it definitely ranks up there with the seasonal holiday classics that are re-run every year. It's a beautiful film.

john191158 Olivia plays a widow with 2 young daughters living high in the mountains and facing the prospect of a bleak xmas having lost her job and with the threat of the bank taking her home through non mortgage payments.Gregory Harrison plays bank employee who is to deliver the fatal news on xmas eve gets stuck in her house due to a car crash in a snow storm on xmas eve.Making xmas cakes to try and make some extra money for the holiday season,Olivia and daughters,one of whom is played by real daughter Chloe whose acting at such a young age is quite credible.Despite his somewhat nasty character Olivia falls for gregory harrison who although already has a fiance and in true disney fashion all ends happily with Olivia getting to keep her house and is given a framed drawing of her two daughters by harrison.Bleak settings help to give atmosphere to the film and Olivia is maturing as a tv actress with this film being made not long after her successful battle with breast cancer.Not a glamorous role for Olivia but one with real grit and determination. 8 out of 10.
