In this sentimental holiday tale, a young boy is taken away from his loving, adoptive household when his new mom is killed in an auto accident and his traveling musician dad is deemed unfit to care for him, being on the road too much. Now, the only thing that can help is if a cold, bureaucratic adoption agency caseworker sees the error of her ways and allows them to be together.

The Kid Who Loved Christmas Audience Reviews

Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Christmas-Reviewer Review Date 2/24/2018PLEASE BEWARE OF SOME REVIEWERS THAT ONLY HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. I HAVE OVER 400 REVIEWS OF "CHRISTMAS RELATED FILMS & SPECIALS" WHEN ITS A POSITIVE THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I REVIEW MOVIES & SPECIALS AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN! I HAVE DISCOVERED MANY GEMS IN MY QUEST TO SEE AS MANY " C H R I S T M A S " MOVIES AS I CAN.Now Someone keeps reporting my reviews. I guess they are jealous because I do tell the truth. I want to point out that I never make snide remarks about actors weight or real life sexual orientation. If there acting is terrible or limited "I talk about that". If a story is bad "I will mention that" So why am I being "picked on"? IMDB? When one of my reviews gets deleted IMDB will not even tell me what someone found offensive. Well on to this review.This is an enjoyable film. The title is however very misleading. I did not read what this film was about. What I thought I was getting was a film about "A Child who spreads the Joy of Christmas" in any way he can. Well that is not the story. What this film is about how a man and child struggling to stay a family during Christmas. The main story is that a Chicago social worker (Cicely Tyson) helps a jazz saxophonist (Michael Warren) adopt a son (Trent J. Cameron) after losing his wife. The cast is great. The story is a tad predictable. However the overall film is family safe and well worth watcing!
leighabc123 This movie was so unrealistic and fairy tale! It was sad that this was the LAST movie that Sammy Davis Jr. ever acted in. But the plot of this movie was still fairy tale. In real life, the plots in the movie wouldn't have turned out the way they did. SPOILERS AHEAD! Reggie's foster dad wouldn't have missed the train at the end of the movie. The adoption agency would have still let Reggie's adoptive father adopt him even though his beautiful wife died in a car accident! When Reggie's adoptive father broke in Mrs. Clayton's house and started trashing the place, he would have been in a lot of trouble!
vchimpanzee Reggie has gone through a lot in his life. But he finally has foster parents who want to adopt him. Everything looks good until the mother dies in an accident. Although the idealistic social worker would like to see the father adopt Reggie, her by-the-book supervisor won't allow it. The father is a traveling jazz musician, and that's just not right for the boy. As in most movies like this, the father and son both seem to think that by breaking the rules and making trouble, they can help their case. The father does try returning to his old 9-to-5 job but he is a musician and can't get that out of his system. Reggie gets moved from one unpleasant foster home to another but it seems no one wants him. Things seem hopeless, and it would take a miracle to make everyone happy. Great cast, including Sammy Davis Jr. in one of his last roles, showing obvious signs of the illness that took his life. Great music too. An enjoyable story overall.
Walkabouts This all-star cast will take you inside each character and you will be emotionally charged with love, hate and sorrow.Little Reggie finally finds true love only to find out that it will all be taken away. He in turns decides to take matters into his own hands to try and keep him united with his new family.
