DVD Reviews of A Christmas Memory

DVD Review: A Christmas Memory
Summary: 5 Stars

Just loved it. Seen it on tv before. I's nice to watch around Christmas time.

DVD Review: Get the Geraldine Page version!
Summary: 2 Stars

Well - I had high hopes for this version. It seriously disappointed me. The kid (Buddy) is treacly and too 'modern' and there is too much 'extra' written into the film that is totally unecessary. Duke seems to young to play Sook. It was written witrh a modern audience inmind - an audience that is used to having everything spoon fed to them.

The Geraldine Page version is FAR SUPERIOR - and almost EXACTLY to the actual text of the wonderful book without a lot of extra stuff that is not needed. The mood is striking - the music sublime.

DVD Review: A Christmas Memory, Patty Duke
Summary: 5 Stars

My all time favorite Christmas story.
It is a bittersweet story that lets you remember to enjoy the simpler things in life.

DVD Review: Kind of a bore
Summary: 2 Stars

This may be a "classic tale", but there have to be better movies out there. It is not a bad movie, but it has so little point to it, relative to Christmas or anything else, that it just is not worth the time to watch it or the money to buy it.

DVD Review: NO CLOSE CAPTION
Summary: 1 Stars

I had to return this because there was no closed caption on this video...i am hearing impaired and therefore need the closed caption...i was very disappointed...because i like this movie

Description of A Christmas Memory

When Buddy (Eric Lloyd, The Santa Clause 3) is abandoned by his parents at the age of seven, he is dumped in the south at the small-town home of some older unmarried cousins. Without friends of his own age, Buddy develops a close friendship with one of the older, simpler ladies, Sook (Patty Duke, The Patty Duke Show) and the two undertake many adventures together. At Christmas time, they bake 31 fruit-cakes which they give as Christmas presents, even mailing them to President Roosevelt and Jean Harlowe! Although Buddy is eventually urged to move on with his life by his incessant cousin Jennie (Piper Laurie, Carrie), the memories of his friendship with Sook lives with him forever. Based on the original novel by Truman Capote, A Christmas Memory is a heartwarming story of love and friendship - and it is now available for the first time on DVD just in time for this holiday season.
