Holiday Heart is a Hallmark Movie starring Ving Rhames as a Christian Drag Queen, who intervenes when a drug-addicted prostitute is being beaten by her pimp. He offers her and her 12 year old daughter (a bravura performance by Jessyka Quynn Reynolds) a safe place for a few days, and becomes inextricably entwined in their lives, loving the daughter as his own, and raising her. This movie addresses drug addiction and its effects on families, as well as the issues of homophobia, and self-acceptance, in a non-preachy manner. The subject matter is well handled, and is authentically presented.
