Summary: 4 Stars
The Night Before Christmas is not a big budget production, it is a little film with a decidedly independent movie feel. Originally released in 1994, as an hour long (with commercials) film shown on Lifetime TV, the DVD was issued as an anniversary edition in 2004 with versions in standard and widescreen, along with extras. Unfortunately, it is a grainy copy and the sound is a bit muffled in spots, which is the reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5.
The story is a quiet one more in tune with how most of us live our lives. There are no huge dramatic moments, no death, no job loss, no sudden wealth, just a series of small events and meaningful realizations. By the end the main character has refocused on what is important instead of looking at what he doesn't have, like his girlfriend or a raise. The essence of the holiday spirit is that it is intangible, it isn't about an armload of gifts, it is about family, friendship, enjoying life and helping others
This movie isn't depressing, it is hopeful. No viewer will be brought to tears from an artificially created plot twist, this movie simply reminds us that the small gestures we make, often without even realizing it, can touch others deeply. It may seem like they've had no effect, because unlike a Hollywood movie, in real life we usually don't know the outcome of our small kindnesses. If you are looking for a movie off the beaten track, and not expecting the usual holiday fare this is a good one.
