The Christmas Shoes bounces between two families--the Layton household, where father Robert (Rob Lowe, The West Wing) is so consumed with his work that he misses his daughter's recital; and the Andrews home, where mother Maggie (Kimberly Williams, According to Jim) has been diagnosed with a fatal heart ailment. Desperate to make his mother's last moments happy, Maggie's son Nathan struggles to buy a pair of red dancing shoes that seem like a pair Maggie remembers from her childhood. Naturally, the lives of these families become intertwined, particularly when Robert's wife takes over Maggie's choral program--which topples the already troubled balance between Kate and Robert. Perhaps because Rob Lowe is usually stereotyped as glib and insincere, The Christmas Shoes feels surprisingly heartfelt. The earnestness of The Christmas Shoes surprises because the story originated in the famously sappy country song of the same name, and movies based on songs rarely feel anything but plastic and contrived. There are certainly moments when The Christmas Shoes lays on the sentiment woefully thick, but you'd have to be an ogre not to be touched when Maggie and her husband have one last dance. Also featuring Dorian Harewood (Roots: The Next Generations). --Bret Fetzer

A. Brooks (Wisconsin)
This is a very touching, heartwarming story. Don't expect to watch it and not shed some tears. I make it a point to watch it every holiday season.

One of my favourite Christmas movies. Great story/great message.
If you haven't already seen this movie I highly recommend you do!
Warm and toasty feelings for Christmas...for sure June 24, 2008
L. Wilson (Biloxi, MS)
The Christmas Shoes This movie along with 'Christmas Blessing' are on the caliber of Hallmark Hall of Fame movies. One is sequel to the other. They truly are the embodiment of the Christmas spirit, with all the warmth and love joining struggles in life. They go together and they are worth the buy....I gave both of them to four different households last Christmas...that's how much I treasured them.

The Ordering of the product was easy, and fast. The shipping of the product was very quick and timely. The movie arrived in good condition. The actual feature on a scale of 1 to 10 was a 7. I know the movie is based on a book and a favorite Christmas song, The movie was good, but it is always a little hard dealing with death around the holidays, even in a movie. I actually give it 3.5 stars.
