Description:
'The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey' is a story of love, redemption and above all, hope. When a broken hearted boy loses the treasured wooden nativity set that links him to his dead father, his worried mother persuades a reclusive, ill-tempered woodcarver to create a replacement, and to allow her son to watch him carve it. The commission takes their relationship to unexpected places as the young boy makes greater and more difficult demands of the woodcarver’s ability, and as Christmas approaches, the three of them struggle to come to terms with each other, their painful memories and the process of putting their unhappiness behind them. Outstanding performances, stunning CGI visuals and a brilliant score make this compelling, funny and ultimately, very moving adaptation of one of America’s most loved and award winning children’s books a must-see family movie experience.

Rating:  - Movie So-so; Arrived in Good Condition
The movie arrived in a timely fashion and in good condition. The movie itself was not as great as some of the reviews indicated. First, Jonathan's "miracle" was not much of one. There is an implication that he went to church, but there is no personal confession of faith from his lips and neither does he repent for his lack of trust of God or the time He has spent disobeying him by keeping to himself without serving Him and forsaking the assembling together of the saints as the book of Hebrews ...

Rating:  - Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey
I really enjoyed this movie. A hermit, unfriendly man with an amazing talent for wood carving is portrayed in this movie. A young widow and her young son contract this hermit (Toomey) to make a nativity set for them. It shows of a developing of relationship with this man with a mysterious past. The one thing I didn't like was they never showed what his mysterious past was, only hinted at it.
This story has wonderful character, a slower paced time with a family who views Christmas ... Read More
Rating: - Poignant and Beautiful
Looking for something a little different to warm your heart this holiday season? Tom Beringer and Jolie Richardson deliver rich performances in a lovely, although at times somber, tale. The sets and filming are artistically done creating a gauzey feel enhancing the beauty and depth of the film. Although you will no doubt catch yourself smiling a few times during certain scenes, I wouldn't call "The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey" typical lighthearted holiday fare; however, if you enjoy a little ...

Rating: - Love shows it changes peoples hearts
This was a wonderful story of a family that kept their priorities straight no matter the loss of family and leaving a home they loved.
The story is based on another man who lost his wife and ended up being loved and cared for by a family who lost their father and husband. No matter the situation we can still be an encouragement to others if we get beyond our pain. I highly recommend this movie for the entire family.
