Why this movie appeals to adults
Its because even though this movie has supernormal elements, it's not presented in a syrupy fashion. I mean even when Santa appears at the end, it's like he is a real guy instead of just another fairy tale character. He could be almost anyone's friendly neighbor.
Plus, the dramatic events give it a real-life feel.
I love this holiday movie and I wish they still made them like this.
Hallmark Channel? Forget it.
Bruce Lee was real. Batman was never real.
