Movie #1425 ........................."The Christmas Note"

Movie #1425 "The Christmas Note" was different from a lot of these Hallmark films in that there is a very serious story taking place here, and it is also NOT a love story between a guy and a girl, but between two women --- not sexual love, but strong friendship, and that makes this one stand out more than the others.  The acting is okay --- they try to be natural, but really the kid steals a lot of the scenes.  I liked it for trying to do something different  --- a search for this female neighbor's sister or brother --- it keeps the story going....I give it 4 stars out of 5.
