Movie Review: The Miracle Maker: A Christmas Tale

"The Miracle Maker is coming!" If any town is in need of a miracle, it’s Woodhaven, a tiny town hanging on the edge of the American frontier. It’s nearly Christmas, but it’s hardly a season of celebration. Work is scarce, money is tight, love is lagging, and spirits are down. Maybe the Miracle Maker can turn things around. The town anxiously waits for someone magnificent who can change their lives. But the ragged traveler who appears isn’t what anyone expects—except for one small silent boy and a precocious little girl. It seems this man can barely take care of himself, let alone fulfill the dreams of others. But miracles can come in all shapes and sizes—and sometimes from unexpected places. Your entire family will love this Christmas tale of hope, love, and miracles.

I had the privilege of previewing this movie for review and I have to tell you that I really loved it.  It is the perfect movie for this Christmas season.  Think snuggles on the couch, a bowl of popcorn and a message that leaves you feel good inside.  

I love the the feeling of hope and healing.  I love the characters in this movie.  They did a great job of making this movie believable and real.  It never felt over the top or cheesy to me.  Every character in this movie is linked to another and as it seems like when one good thing happens, it is sort of like a domino effect.

The miracles come in gentle ways and bring peace and healing to one small town.  Like I said before, this is the perfect feel good movie for this holiday season.  I'm so glad I was able to watch this movie.  I cannot wait to share it with my family.  It's going to be a great gift for a few people on my Christmas list.  :)  

Here is the trailer if you haven't seen it yet.
