Review of Christmas Comes to Willow Creek (1987) by Andrew S — 17 Apr 2018

Some people panned this film in the 80's as being a lot of sentimental goofiness or worse yet, Anti-Christian?! As someone who has loved film and cinema her entire life and teaches it now, this couldn't be much of a better Christmas film if it tried.

There is a serious message of self-sacrifice here and some quite sensitive acting by both Tom Wopat and John Schneider, particularly Tom with the flashback scenes. Its a good film, well worth seeing and Hoyt Axton is a pleasure to watch as well.
