This is the beautiful
tale of love and generosity of spirit where neighbours go above and beyond with
their wonderful surprises to make a little girl happy.
At the heart of the
story is Vanessa Marks (Emily Alyn Lind) a brave young girl who is battling
cancer, which has an effect on the people around her.
In particular her
parents Tom and Beth (John Corbett and Sarah Paulson) and her brother Gordon
(Max Charles).
But when it looks like
she may not see Christmas her parents decide to bring Christmas forward so that
she will see another Christmas if the worst came to the worst.
Which is how they came
to meet Jess and Claire Sanford (Sam Elliott and Karen Allen) who had
themselves lost a child, and high school student Tammy (Elizabeth McLaughlin)
who between them made sure Vanessa had Christmas in November.
The look on young
Vanessa’s face when she sees the result is an absolute joy, Emily Alyn Lind’s
performance in the film steals the show, and I say that despite the fact she is
in very esteemed company.
November Christmas is
a lovely family movie, a real, hot chocolate, warm fuzzy blanket kind of film,
oh and a box of tissues for all those tender moments, of which there are many.
If you only ever watch
one Christmas movie in your life, make sure it’s this one.
