Movie #1119 ........................."A Christmas Blessing" (t.v. movie)

Movie #1119 "A Christmas Blessing" or what I would term "Grey's Anatomy Christmas movie" because it is like a medical show,  and almost half the film was in a hospital room.  I picked it to watch because I saw that Neil Patrick Harris was in it, and Angus T. Jones (from two and 1/2 men), but there were way too many people sick in this small town.  Ironically, NPH leaves his hospital job and comes back to his small town home town because of being burned out, and people are asking him to look over babies while he is checking their spark plugs!  He can't get away from it.  And what coincidences with the red shoes.  They are his mom's (who died when he was 10 years old), and his dad accidentally gave them away, and a homeless man finds them in a bin and gives them to his son, telling him that they were his mom's shoes --- confused yet?  don't worry, it all isn't really worth it.  Lots of soap opera stuff happening in this film, and  I was disappointed because the actors were more than capable.








A CHRISTMAS BLESSING  2005        I'd give it 3 stars out of 5
Nathan Andrews, a medical resident, goes back home to his small town after he loses a teenager on the operating table. He joins his dad and his mechanic's business and becomes a basketball coach to some youths. Here he meets Charlie and Meghan. This is based on a novel by Donna VanLiere and a continuation of "The Christmas Shoes." Meghan is trying to start up a day care business for single, working mothers and Charlie is ill. All their lives are connected and Nathan meets someone from his past.

A young doctor encounters romance and deals with his past when he returns to his hometown during the holidays.
