Wow! Such a good movie.
Good movie but grossly overrated
Admirable film.
Blistering performances.
This is a really good movie.. Naomi Judd makes a good music teacher. In the movie she is upset because her boss is threatening to take out the Music program at the school she works at. After watching the students in the Christmas pageant he makes a decision to keep the program running. He even falls in love with Naomi Judd's character. He then realizes why the students love music and why they like their teacher. I recommend this movie for people young and old. The movie teaches us about why music is so important for young children in our schools. It also teaches us about finding romance and also about finding one's true love.

A holiday Romance tries to overwhelm us with sentimentality. Like most sentimental films, they sometimes annoyingly tug at your hart strings. However, "sappy" would not do this movie justice as an overall consensus of the film. The movie will hold your interest, and certainly does contain more than one dimension to the story-line, and most importantly to the characters. Besides the romance that is brewing between McRaney and Judd, the film also conveys the importance of music in our lives, and does a proper job in expressing its virtues. More importantly the film makers for "A Holiday Romance" point out how instrumental a single individual can become in our lives, especially to children.Also, an extremely nice inclusion, is the much loved Andy Griffith as McRaneys Father.By-the-way, Naomi Judd looks absolutely great in this film, you would never guess that she is two years McRaney's senior.
A Holiday Romance reworks the story of White Christmas for modern times. It is a pleasant movie, worth watching for the Christmas season. However, expect a double dose of the overworked situations of an authoritarian parent and the child who suffers. The Major General's story of White Christmas is split between two characters so that the movie works well as a separate tale. Only if you are familiar with the original would you get an inkling that the two stories are related. Gerald MacRaney does his usual strong character. Music is a plus if you like Christmas carols jazzed up a little. Naomi Judd does a credible job. Andy Griffith shows his Matlock image rather than the lighter Andy Griffith Show personification.
