Christmas movie review: November Christmas

The description on my Tivo says it all to describe the plot: A community works together to help a couple bring an early Christmas to their sick 8-year-old daughter. John Corbett & Sarah Paulson play the parents of the sick little girl who are worried she won't make it through the rest of the year so they celebrate Halloween in August and then Christmas in November, with the help of a very amazing community who is willing to go along for the ride just to help the little girl. It's a great cast - besides those two, it also stars Sam Elliott and Karen Allen - and a sweet story but somehow it never fully got me involved as a viewer, perhaps because it was quite slow-moving. A library plays a prominent role in the film, too, so you think I would give it higher marks solely for that reason, but I will give it a solid "B".

Rating: B
