The Christmas Shoes (2002)
Too Sad for a Christmas Movie
20 December 2007 - 2 out of 3 users found this review helpful.
This movie about a little boy wanting to buy a pair of shoes so his mother could wear them when she went to see Jesus (she is dying while waiting for a heart transplant) was just too sad for a Christmas Movie. The ending, while showing what a difference was made in Rob Lowe and his family's life, was one sided. The boy's mom died leaving him and his father to cope while Rob Lowe learned a lesson about his family life by the tragedy. A pretty good story for any other time of year than the Christmas Season. It was a total tearjerker an I do not think that is what Christmas should be about. A true miracle ending would have been the Mom getting the heart transplant along with Rob Lowe's finding the true meaning of Christmas.
