The joyful-sounding title is deceptive because this unlikely holiday offering is actually the story of Job, brought to audiences in a fit of schizophrenia from the usually happy folks at Disney. The Grainger family hits a rough time from the get-go. Dad loses his job and the family must be out of the company-owned house by the first of the year. Mr. Grainger goes to the bank to withdraw the last of their savings when he is robbed, shot and killed. The thief steals his car with the Grainger kids in the back seat. The car careens through a bridge rail, plunges into the river, and the children drown. Are we in a Christmas mood yet? Mary Steenburgen is the devastated wife and mother, and Harry Dean Stanton is the sad-looking angel sent to help her. The majority of this movie is immersed in this morose story line; it takes forever for anything good to happen in this cheerless movie. A real downer, that's too intense for the kids.
