Slow moving, somber Christmas drama. Two troubled priests struggle with the course their lives are taking. This dreary storyline was obviously meant to be uplifting but fell far short of the mark. In fact, parts of the plot actually felt somewhat insulting. With some of its darker issues, this was definitely not family friendly. The acting was dreadful and the main characters were so unlikable it was hard to care whether or not they worked out their problems. The scenes with the community Christmas pageant were somewhat humorous and the final scene was mildly touching but this was certainly not enough to redeem the rest of the movie. On the plus side, filming was actually pretty good, with some beautiful scenes of the Cape. Of the three viewers in our family, I’m the only one who actually finished watching and I certainly would never watch again. Definitely better choices available. **
