Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Christmas-Reviewer BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.Here is my first "Discovery" of a good Christmas film for 2017. The film is called"On The 2nd Day of Christmas". In this film Trish (Mary Stuart Masterson) and her six-year-old niece, Patsy, make their living by picking pockets. But when they try to take advantage of holiday shoppers with fat wallets, they run into a little snag—a department store security guard named Bert (Mark Ruffalo) catches them in the act. The store owner wants them arrested, but decides to wait until Christmas is over. To ensure they don't make a run for it, he entrusts their care to Bert. With jail on the horizon, Trish and Patsy are scared for their future. But as the holiday nears its end, it looks as though a budding romance might just save them after all. The film is about 2nd chances and most of all forgiveness. Nice film! However this film is a rip-off of "Remember the Night".
mysterv When I first read the overview of this movie I thought that it sounded familiar. I checked my Christmas movies and it turned out that Remember the Night from 1940 written by Preston Sturges was the film. Here is IMDb's overview of that film which starred Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray "Just before Christmas, Lee Leander is caught shoplifting. It is her third offense. She is prosecuted by John Sargent. He postpones the trial because it is hard to get a conviction at Christmas time. But he feels sorry for her and arranges for her bail, and ends up taking her home to his mother for Christmas" And once again they fall in love... If you enjoyed "On the 2nd Day of Christmas" then you might enjoy this older B&W film with a similar theme.
IKhan251980 I hate the attitude of the woman in the beginning of the movie. She calls the guy a jerk for sleeping on his bed by himself and making her and the kid sleep on the sofa bed- when she is the criminal here, not him, so she should deal with the consequences of her lifestyle. She also says something like "gotta make a living"- but she is a pick pocket, that is not making a living. She's just too lazy to get a real job, she wants the easy way out. Plus she trains the kid to steal as well. No sympathy for criminals- she should have been in jail. Oh and then to top it all off the idiot guy who's watching her apologizes for the things he said. He never should have, nor did he need to, apologize. Apologising just makes all her stealing OK.
kara Christmas time is the best time of the year because it is the best time of year to pull out great Christmas movies like "On the 2nd Day of Christmas." I absolutely love this movie and look forward to it every year on television around Christmas time. It is a sweet adorable Christmas film that i fell in love with, the first time i saw it! It's boy meets girl plus girl's daughter, boy arrests girl, and you can find out the rest for yourself. I recommend it to anyone who loves a romantic comedy and a Christmas movie as it is both these wrapped into one. If i ever see it in a store, i would most definitely buy it. If you don't believe that it would be an excellent movie to watch, the only way to find out is to watch it yourself.
