Just watched this super-cute, family-friendly Christmas movie called A Golden Christmas. (It's not really a dog movie, per se, so don't let the cover and the title put you off if you're not a doggie lover - you'll miss a treat!)
Jessica has been estranged from her family for the last few years, unable to return to the place she and her late husband were so happy. But this year she comes home for the holidays and starts thinking about one summer when she was nine years old and met a boy at the campground where her family home is now built. She was 'Leia' and he was 'Han' (from 'Star Wars.') They never knew each others real name, and they never saw each other again. That summer they buried a time capsule in what is now Jessica's parents back yard.
Enter Michael, a handsome guy who lives in town and has bought Jessica's parents house; there's just one problem – Jessica wants the house too. Both of them want it for sentimental reasons – might they find out those reasons are one and the same, if they ever stop butting heads with each other?
Good performances, a cute dog, a couple of cute kids, and a sentimental story line. I enjoyed this movie and I almost missed it because I'm not really into the whole cutesy-wootsy dog movie thing. In the end I decided to watch it because of a good cast list including - Andrea Roth as Jessica, with Bruce Davison and Alley Mills as her parents. Suitable for the whole family from 9 months to 99 years!
