Story of a well-to-do elderly woman, who befriends the homeless and volunteers her time with children, who learns she has an incurable illness and wants desperately to reunite her three grown grand children (who are scattered across the U.S. living their own lives), with their estranged father, her son. She hires a private detective to search for them so as to try to get everyone together on Christmas Eve.
曾经那批爱好电影的人都已经老了，但他们还能在电视机前的摇椅上再次感受旧好莱坞黄金时代的圣诞梦。普世的大爱和以家庭为单位的小爱，通过老一辈的特瑞沃·霍华德和洛丽泰·扬化解，最终融合在了一起。PS: 谁说美国没有”别告诉她“的中式传统，本片就是一个很好的例子。
泪点低的我果然泪目。精品片，从服化道音乐到剧情、演技，无一不编排合理。角色形象贴合现实，剧本靠谱符合逻辑，虽然是老片但是这么多年过去了，背景音乐响起时仍然能带你走进那幅圣诞前夜的温暖画面中。
旧好莱坞演员对后辈的碾压
圣诞前夕1986卡普拉的世界观，八十年代初期，里根主政，实行保守右翼政策，贫富差距加大。
好看的 满满的年代感
