Review of Christmas with Tucker

I absolutely loved this film and it had been many years since I first saw it. The acting is mostly top notch; especially the main characters: Grandfather (James Brolin doing what he does best), Grandmother (Barbara Gordon) and Young George (Gage Monroe). Heartwarming, family oriented, great winter and Christmas scenes, and plenty of action. In all fairness, I must disclose that I'm a dog lover and even have a yellow lab - similar to the one used in some of the scenes (yup - I know it is supposed to be a Golden Retriever but I'm willing to overlook this continuity problem because most people won't notice.). I feel like the mother was added mostly for eye candy and that is my guess as to why, she is used in the movie poster instead of the grandmother who had many more scenes and played her role beautifully! Speaking of movie posters - why is the one shown here on IMDB a German version? All in all, a great family film and if it doesn't have you reaching for the tissue box then I don't know what will!
