SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
This movie stars the same cast as the same family from the earlier television movies, The House Without a Christmas Tree and The Holiday Treasure. It picks up rather seamlessly from the previous television movies about this same 1940s family.The first half of the movie is a bit slow compared to previous offerings. In particular, a few of the scenes involving Addie and her friends were a bit overplayed by the kids, but not horribly so. However, once the main issues came forth midway through the movie, it hit television gold. The people and problems they encounter are so realistically written and portrayed that this, like the previous movies, is a MUST see!
Wow......These Addie Mills CBS TV specials are so fantastic......I have enjoyed all four of them.......the only one that has never been available on VHS is "Addie and the King of Hearts" which is the Valentine's Day special..........The Easter Promise is so touching and once again Jason Robards shines........this is worth checking out!!!!!!
