Anyone skeptical of updates retreads of Christmas movie classics may be genuinely surprised by this 1994 version of
Miracle on 34th Street. Based on the 1947 holiday classic, this new
Miracle sticks close to the original's story, though it offers more contemporary, crisper pacing and a tone curiously more reflective -- even sorrowful -- than before. Richard Attenborough is charming and twinkly as Kris Kringle, the part that won Edmund Gwenn an Oscar. Mara Wilson is the little New York City girl who doesn't believe in Santa Claus until Kris persuades her otherwise. Elizabeth Perkins is her hardened mother, and Dylan McDermott plays the handsome lawyer next door who defends Kris during an insanity hearing. While screenwriter John Hughes has toughened up the dialogue a bit, and McDermott's intensity looks like a dry run for his then future role on television's
The Practice, this
Miracle is a persuasively sweet as the one previous. --Tom Keogh/Amazon.com

T'is the season to bring toys and kids together!
