DVD Reviews of A Holiday Romance
DVD Review: Great Movie but disappointed in edited DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie has been watched yearly by our family for several years off of a VHS tape that was recorded when the movie was shown on TV. It's such a great movie with the multiple themes: father/son relationship, teenager dealing with the loss of her mother, a teacher wondering what would have happened had she stayed with a band, and the issue that always upsets me because it is so true in real life -- school budget cuts and the first to go is music (choir and or band) and drama (Mr. Holland's Opus ring a bell?) but athletics will only be cut when the school closes.
Decided to look last year for a DVD copy on Amazon and was directed to alternate sellers. Family_Films was the only one listing a NEW copy. It was high at $21 dollars (compared to other Christmas movies) but I ordered it. I started watching the movie as soon as it arrived in the mail. Was surprised and upset that the movie was edited at one spot. There was nothing wrong with the scene. It's actually cute. It's where the Principal gets so excited that Gerald Mc's character has come to save the school that she hugs him. That's the only cut-out that I noted, but it spoiled watching the rest of the movie.
This year I noted that there are other sellers for the same movie using a different title (A Song for the Season) which is the title of the movie I have on VHS, and they have it for about half the price. I'm tempted to order one of these, just to see if I get the whole movie.
Finally, others have commented on the teenagers voice quality. While it may not be the best, the final song always brings tears to my eyes. I'll back the DVD up to listen to the song several times, but you have to listen to the message, not the delivery.
Description of A Holiday Romance
Naomi Judd, Andy Griffith, Gerald McRaney and more. Closed Captioned. A Song For A Season is the English title, but is same movie as A Holiday Romance. School administrator (Gerald McRaney) comes to Bethlehem, Kentucky with his orphaned teenage niece to save the local high school from closing due to budget problems. To meet this goal, he must fire the town's favorite teacher and music instructor (Naomi Judd) who has helped his niece deal with the death of her mother. Through love and music everyone might just survive the holidays. Besides the romance that is brewing between McRaney and Judd, the film also conveys the importance of music in our lives, and does a proper job in expressing its virtues. More importantly the film makers for "A Holiday Romance" point out how instrumental a single individual can become in our lives, especially to children. Also, an extremely nice inclusion, is the much loved Andy Griffith as McRaneys Father.Bestsellers in DVD
