Customer Reviews: The Christmas Shoes DVD - Rob Lowe November 27, 2007 P. D. A. WALDER (West Sussex, United Kingdom) 2 out of 4 found this review helpful This is one of my favourite films/Christmas Films of all time and what a tearjerker it is. It is a very poignant story about a mother dying of heart failure and her son wanting her to meet Jesus with a special pair of red shoes "The Christmas Shoes", that he wants to buy her for Christmas. His mission is to make sure she does, so not to give too much of the story away go out and buy this excellent tearjerker and make sure you have a box of tissues handy, you'll need them. I brought this DVD last year after seeing it on Sky Movies in 2004. It is also part one of a trilogy of films and books, the others are The Christmas Blessing and The Christmas Hope. The song at the end of this film which is just so lovely is by Newsong and I have just managed to get it on two different CD's from the USA, the first CD contains The Christmas Shoes and other christmas songs and the other again by Newsong called The Christmas Hope contains a new version of The Christmas Shoes and adds the final two songs of the trilogy, The Christmas Blessing and The Christmas Hope to it with more new christmas songs. So go out and buy them too, you won't regret it I promise. Great November 26, 2007 Mr. Daniel J. Offer (Nr Swindon, UK) 1 out of 3 found this review helpful The Christmas Shoes is a moving and heartwarming Christmas story, though quite tragic. It is a sad film, but has a good plot and sends a good message as to what Christmas is about. It brings up some hard topics with its real life feel. To summaries; Christmas Shoes is an emotional roller coaster with its Christmas message. Not an action packed blockbuster with loads of explosions. It's more than worth a watch. What a nice family film February 4, 2008 GCC (Somerset, UK) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful How refreshing to have a good family film without bad language, sexual innuendo or partner/spouse swapping. Be warned though, its a real weepy! It's OK.... November 19, 2008 Debra from Hull (England) Looking at the previous reviews, people either love it or hate it. I'm sitting on the fence and saying it was OK! Storyline wasn't too predictable. It was heartwarming in the odd place. br / br /Again, it's a 'watching-whilst-doing-the-ironinig' kinda film. For me the biggest gripe is that it's got Christmas in the title yet it's not really that significant. By all means buy this DVD but I'd recommend buying it in a collection because you really shouldn't be paying more than £2.50 inc PP per DVD! Worst Film Ever December 24, 2007 P. Sanders (Belfast) 3 out of 10 found this review helpful I accidentally caught this evil car crash of a film on TV the week before Xmas. It was halfway through and I noticed Rob Lowe and despite the schmaltzy Christmas-TV-Movie trappings (snow, wise old lady giving family advice...) I thought it might be interesting. br / br /This movie is a hideous, cliche-ridden film designed to make middle-class Middle America feel safe and comfortable. Essentially a kid whose mother is dying of cancer wants to buy her a pair of shoes so that when we goes up to Heaven to meet Jesus she'll look nice. It has been callously designed to be as emotionally manipulative as possible, using grief and weeping children to elicit emotional response from the audience. br / br /The worst part is when the kid rushes home through the Hollywood snow to get the shoes to Mum, all to the sound of the worst song ever written - a song which tells the story of the film in clumsy, drippy lyrics. I later discovered this song actually inspired the film and had originally been a hit single. br / br /Thoroughly horrible. If you have a real heart, do not watch this.
