  Michael Caine and the knockout Julie Walters deliver a pair of wonderful performances in this endearingly bittersweet tale of a boozily burnt-out professor's tutoring of (and subsequent tutoring by) a free-spirited hairdresser determined to improve her lot in life. The basic plot won't exactly surprise anyone who's ever seen a movie before but the ace cast (particularly Caine, who's rarely this subtle) continually finds new directions to spin off from the rather rote path. Although the end result is perhaps just a little too convinced of its own adorability to attain classic status, this remains a rarity in the genre--a feel-good film that earns its emotions honestly. A nice change of pace for director Lewis Gilbert, who is perhaps better known for his contributions to the James Bond series. --Andrew Wright

  Collection of three festive family equine movies. In 'My Christmas Pony' (2015) teenager Juliet (Nadine Crocker) and her mother Karen (Krista Allen) move back to their old home in the country to visit her late grandfather's ranch. Initially unhappy to leave the city, Juliet soon warms to life at the struggling ranch when she discovers her grandfather's horse Rodeo and meets a young cowboy named Monty (Zeb Halsell). Together, will Juliet, her family and her new friends be able to save the ranch? In 'My Christmas Gift' (2017) city-dwelling accountant and single father Michael (Patrick Muldoon) struggles to see eye-to-eye with his teenage daughter and decides to accept an offer from a family farm out in the country who are currently engaged in a battle with a relentless bank manager. Thinking that a new start is all that the father-daughter team need, Michael and Chloe (Mandalynn Carlson) set up home in the country. Not entirely convinced by the move, Chloe continues to play the teenager card, but when Michael meets the farm owner's daughter Samantha (Charisma Carpenter), sparks begin to fly and a new life looks to be on the cards. In 'A Christmas Wish' (2013) the Kamp family are struggling to make ends meet in depression-era America. With his son's rising medical bills and the recent loss of his wife, things begin to take their toll on the family patriarch William (Brian Krause). As Christmas draws closer the children are expecting another holiday of festivities but their hopes are tested when their father gives them a dollar in change and challenges them to buy each other gifts with it.
