By the title and movie description, I thought I was in for two hours of a sweet heartwarming Christmas story. I was close. While this film is a heartwarming one, it's also quite tragic. The only thing missing was a warning about how sad and depressing some parts in the movie are. Kimberly Williams gives a stellar performance, and Max Morrow and Amber Marshall are perfect for the roles of the cute kids, much needed for the story. Although Rob Lowe was disappointing for the first time, in my opinion, I think this movie is a great one for families to see together. I think that there are many tough issues addressed in "The Christmas Shoes," giving parents an easy opening to talk to their kids about some of the harder things in life. This movie is realistic. Normally, it's easy to laugh at so-called "sad" movies, because in the end, everyone's happy, all ends well, and they do live happily ever after. Movie characters! But this film has a real-life feel to it. It's sweet, bitterly sad, heartwarming, and family-oriented. Definitely see this the next time it's on TV!

Yes it is.I recorded it on video last Christmas holiday.I balled like a baby.Any one with a heart should. Whats not to love? A sweet, tearjerker movie with a hot Rob Lowe in it who gets the true meaning of the holiday at the end.And that song...just rips at your heart.I could watch it forever.They did not show it this year so I found my tape and watched it.The holiday would not have been the same without it.

I did not know that someone made a movie based on that song. UGH! I HATE that song! I don't like stuff that makes me cry. That song just breaks my heart and makes me think of when my mom died.

I thought it was so heart-warming, especially when he was buying the shoes and the cashier had a bad attitude, but it was even sadder when he brought the shoes to his mom.
