Matthew Peyton (Ryan O'Quinn) is a small-town business owner. He is also the main supporter for the town's huge Christmas Pageant. When his business begins to struggle and his employees go on strike, it looks like the Christmas Pageant will have to be cancelled. Then, Ryan meets CJ (Isaac Ryan Brown), a young boy who believes in miracles. As Matthew opens his heart to CJ, his joy begins to rub off on Matthew. Together with the help of some of the most unlikely townspeople, Matthew works to turn his business around and give back to his community. All things are possible if you only believe.

This is a very sweet movie. It is faith-based but there is a decent story with obvious good guys and bad guys. Don't get too bogged down in the financial shenanigans going on with the business. Just enjoy the message of the story - the true meaning of Christmas. The acting is fine. The young actor who plays CJ is infectious. He exudes joy. If you are looking for a cute Christmas film that is acceptable for the whole family, then this might fit the bill. Go see it.
