"29th Street" is not only one of the greatest Christmas movies ever made it's also one of the most emotionally satisfying movies ever made. The only reason that I can think of why this movie is not on everyone's Christmas "must watch" list is because of the R rating. Don't let that scare you off. Sure the language is rough but it's also honest. Brutally honest. The rough language adds to a lot of realism to any otherwise fantastic story. "29th Street" is a beautifully acted movie. Lainie Kazan and Danny Aiello are the two stand-outs. Aiello should have been nominated for an Oscar for his terrific performance. In lesser hands his character wouldn't have worked. "29th Street" is a wildly emotional movie. There's not a dry eye in the living room when this one is over. "29th Street" is one of the greats.
