Review of Mr. Krueger's Christmas

"Mr. Krueger's Christmas" is a 25-minute short film that has its 30th anniversary this year. The title character is played by James Stewart in one of his last performances, 40 years after his Oscar win. The director is Kieth Merrill, also an Academy award winner at this point already. I thought this was a decent little flick. No true greatness in here and a bit gooey (stranger girl says him she loves him) and predictable, but it's sweet, has nice emotions and tells a solid story. The music is nice too. Maybe there were slightly too many religious references for my taste, but I guess some people like it exactly because of that. I think that it's worth checking out during the holidays, especially by fans of James Stewart. All in all, I give this one a thumbs up.
