Product Description
A workaholoc attorney crosses paths with a young boy on christmas eve & rediscovers the true meaning of love life & the holiday season. Studio: Gaiam Americas Release Date: 11/07/2006 Starring: Rob Lowe Run time: 94 minutes
Amazon.com
The Christmas Shoes bounces between two families--the Layton household, where father Robert (Rob Lowe, The West Wing) is so consumed with his work that he misses his daughter's recital; and the Andrews home, where mother Maggie (Kimberly Williams, According to Jim) has been diagnosed with a fatal heart ailment. Desperate to make his mother's last moments happy, Maggie's son Nathan struggles to buy a pair of red dancing shoes that seem like a pair Maggie remembers from her childhood. Naturally, the lives of these families become intertwined, particularly when Robert's wife takes over Maggie's choral program--which topples the already troubled balance between Kate and Robert. Perhaps because Rob Lowe is usually stereotyped as glib and insincere, The Christmas Shoes feels surprisingly heartfelt. The earnestness of The Christmas Shoes surprises because the story originated in the famously sappy country song of the same name, and movies based on songs rarely feel anything but plastic and contrived. There are certainly moments when The Christmas Shoes lays on the sentiment woefully thick, but you'd have to be an ogre not to be touched when Maggie and her husband have one last dance. Also featuring Dorian Harewood (Roots: The Next Generations). --Bret Fetzer

 Christmas Shoes January 7, 2009
Debbie R. Lum (Carthage, MS)
Christmas Shoes is one of the most moving stories of a modern Christmas. I am so moved by it that I bought the movie to watch every year. This year our church choir did a production of the play. I went to see another production of the same play, watched the movie with some friends, read the book, and read the other two books in the series about the little boy in the first book. That is how much the story means to me. It really helps us remember how we should put the people in our lives ahead of things, and jobs.

D. Costanza (usa)
This movie was very sentimental and tear provoking. Good acting and excellent message to those who need to prioritize their lives not just at Christmas but every day of their lives.

I was having a hard tme finding the movie on cable television, and usually ended up missing it altogeher. I decided to purchase the movie Christmas Shoes for my collection of holiday movies. I love this movie. I heard the song first and burst into tears the first time. I still cry. This is a wonderful family movie.
