Blu B @RT43513976 Dec 22 The music is good and pretty much carries this at times for me. Everything else is half decent. Man it's almost good for me. At times it pulls too much on the heartstrings and is too sentimental. But there are genuine scenes every now and than that are goood and get at the heart of what the film is trying to explore. A Father daughters bond through the struggles of grief, making ends meet, and butting heads. Than you got the Reindeer plot which I figured would eventually lead to bringing the two together which this....sort of does at the very end. I mean it's slow and takes a while to figure out where it's going and even longer to achieve it. In the second half it just starts bouncing around between subplots of her working to get money, bonding with Prancer, and her Dad. It just gets boring and feels like it goes nowhere. Than it feels like the Prancer and Dad issues are two seperate stories that don't interact together very well and take too long to come together.

The little actress that plays Jessica is absolutely darling. I think it's a wonderful holiday movie and a timeless story. And, Sam Elliot... See more Jay W @RT52162311 11/21/2024 "Prancer" was a film my 3rd grade teacher put on for the class before Christmas Break. We were only able to get through the first 20 minutes of the movie, and we didn't ever finish the film. It says something, that 25 years later, I was still curious enough to see how the film ended. It was by no means a pressing concern, but it was satisfactory to finally finish it. This film is sort of like "Miracle on 34th Street", but instead of proving that it's Santa, it's about proving the reindeer is Prancer. Combine that with Cloris Leachman playing the old man Marley from Home Alone type character. Speaking of, this film has a crazy cast. There are 2 Oscar Nominees and an Oscar Winner in the cast. Something interesting about the film is the dynamic they demonstrate between the mother, father and aunt. The father, played by Sam Elliot, is seen as very cold and terse with his daughter, Jessica. The aunt, on the other hand, shows nothing but kindness to Jessica. But throughout the film, Jessica is adamant that she wants to live with her dad and not her aunt. I actually give this film a lot of credit for not villainizing the aunt. For the most part this is a film without a villain, and I don't think it needs one. The movie is very sweet, but sometimes too cheesy even for me. The acting, even by the kids, is great. Some of the "kid logic" of the movie is frustrating, but without it I guess the story wouldn't have happened. Now I want 7 movie sequels following adventures of the other reindeer. Come on Hallmark, you got nothing better to do. See more Koi P @hopep 11/10/2024 A perfect performance by Rebecca Harrel. My heart feels happy in the innocence of childhood while simultaneously breaking. A heartwarming and endearing Christmas film.
