I never thought anyone would see the day when the Disney Studios would release a movie intended for family or adult viewing that would be as bad as newly released “One Magic Christmas.” Incredible!

Imagine a Christmas movie for children in which a spooky, somber “angel” arranges to have the mother see the father murdered and her two children drowned--in order to give her some Christmas spirit. Unbelievable.

And the acting--amateurish to be charitable. A depressing Christmas movie. That must be a first! If you want to punish your kids, send them to see “One Magic Christmas!”
