   It was designed to be shot in B&W. Sets were constructed, costumes were designed, and lighting was used to optimize how the movie would look on black and white film. Why would anyone think it was doing the film any favors to colorize it decades later?

   In the interest of full disclosure, and from the screen captures I’ve seen, the colorization on the most recent release (Two-Disc Collector’s Set from 2007) is the best so far. But still, for me, the B&W of this classic film is still classic.

   I have seen this movie countless times. It lifts me up when I am down.

   In my view there are three really great movies:
   1) Wonderful Life – especially this newly re-worked version in color
   (ohhhhhhh…….. Donna Reed as a young girl…….. what a dream !!)
   (Much like the woman I married )
   2) Gone With the Wind – Scarlette my love !
   .
   Life is very hard and painful for a lot of people in the US today
   and because the US middle class has been gutted they have no money
   to buy the things developing countries make and the crisis
   is worse in those countries as a result.
   .
   However, there is always having faith in God as a choice (yes or no).
   It’s always a choice……… essentially “to be” or….. “not to be”.
   These are the same choice.
   When we have nothing else but faith which enables the possibility of hope
   then we have nothing else and nothing else.
   .
   It’s that simple.

   this is my all time favorite movie. I have it in VHS format but not in DVD. I am trying to switch all of my movie collection to DVD, and finding the great prices and quality @ Amazon.com makes it possible.

   I appreciate the fact that I received the DVD within 7-days of purchase. Packaging and quality very nice!

   I love Gabrielle Union and Morris Chestnut BUT The Perfect Holiday was not perfect. The story line was CUTE but not written for a major motion picture. This type of movie would have been great for Lifetime or a movie that goes straight to DVD format. I gave the movie 2 stars because the cast was well picked but the story line was lackluster.

   I love Morris Chestnut and Gabrielle Union, but this movie was not what I expected. It wasn’t bad, it was just mediocre. I have watched it a couple of times, but I think it was just to keep the Christmas spirit flowing and it was good to watch something festive during the holiday season. Please see it for yourself. You may think differently.

   Love it! Love it! Love it! I watch this movie about 2x month. Family friendly. Not over the top. Funny, emotional etc. Real. My favorite actors, Morris Chestnut and Gabrielle, who have amazing chemistry when they collaborate, brought it once again!!! They are truly great actors, who aren’t getting the recognition they deserve. Love it!

    This movie was such a wonderful love story at Christmastime. A divorced mom who just wants to get on with life and love, daughter who wants Santa to make her mom’s wishes come true, and a teenage son who just wants his parents to get back together. Well, Santa delivers, though the sleigh ride to love was not easy!!!
