    destined to be a Christmas Classic!!!

    This movie brings back some of the old feel for Christmas movies and is a must see for people who remember what Christmas is really all about. Although it has some interesting plot problems, it definitely brings out the Christmas Spirit.

    Must see, made a grown man cry.

    I saw this at its "World Premier" at the Spoletto Arts Festival here in Charleston, SC. It was wonderful. The only criticism I have is that the two main boys acted a little too grown up. The movie flowed well and really sucked you in. It is definitely a great 2 hours spent well. Do yourself a favor and see it when you can.

    Good Message

    An interesting choice for a Christmas movie, but one that gives a little different message than others. It starts out as a buddy film set in the '50's, and it will be a nice trip down nostalgia lane for older baby boomers. The plot thickens to more of a crisis, as one of the boy's sister is sick from polio and fading fast, and the boy wants to make her Christmas special.

    The girl loves angels and the book "The Angel Doll", so he struggles to find (and afford) an angel doll for her. The message at the end of the book has a small angel asking the question: what can I give to the Christ child? It's something that all Christians should ask themselves each year during the holidays, and not just thinking about buying gifts and making out our own lists. There's also a strong underlying current on the importance of family ties in the film.

    While there may not necessarily be a "Hollywood" happy ending to this film, it's a well-told tale about a chapter in a boy's life. Be sure to see the extra clip on the DVD.

    Nostalgic Christmas story about love and hope

    The Angel Doll is based on the book by Jerry Bledsoe and written and directed by Alexander Johnston, who died shortly after making this movie. It is an enchanting and touching true story told through the eyes of Jerry Barlow (Michael Welch), a ten-year-old boy. The setting of this beautifully acted and moving tale of family life is the nostalgic world of small-town America. Jerry lives in the southern town of Thomasville, and the year is 1950. The summer has just begun, and it is going to be a summer that will change Jerry's life forever. He is doing his paper round for the town store, dreaming about a Schwinn Black Phantom bike and getting up to innocent mischief with his mates. When he meets "Whitey" Black (Cody Newton), they become best friends. Whitey is a boy from a troubled family – his father died, his mother (Diana Scarwid) drinks to blot out life's miseries and his little four-year-old sister Sandy lies bedridden with polio. Yet although he lives a tough life, Whitey has a heart of gold. Sandy's only comfort from her illness is her love for angels. So Whitey and his friends set out to find an angel doll as a special Christmas gift for Sandy. It is the ultimate quest of hope, and the boys learn what is truly important in their lives.

    Next to Michael Welsh and Cody Newton, The Angel Doll also features a strong line-up of grown up acting talent, including Oscar winner Keith Carradine (Nashville, The Long Riders), Oscar nominee Diana Scarwid, Betsy Brantley, Pat Hingle and Nick Searcy.

    The story is a very effective combination of childhood nostalgia with all its enchanting features and sincere messages of life. The movie primarily shows all the stereotypical aspects of family life in small-town America. Jerry's family fits very much into this pattern and is introduced as the typical American family of the 50s. Jerry and his friends are very imaginative boys. They fight battles with sticks and stones and even launch an expedition into a nearby army camp, which turns out to be a daring adventure that unravels the dangers of polio as a contagious disease.

    The entire story is told through the eyes of Jerry, and thus his naivety and his simple-minded perception of life grants the movie just the right amount of sensibility and plain fun. There are various scenes that strongly reflect the coming-of-age theme as a very pervasive sub-theme of the plot. The hysteria of catching polio leads to a very interesting conversation between Jerry and his mother (Betsy Brentley) about fears and personal integrity. Jerry also learns a lot about challenges and struggles. He learns that friendship is really one of the most important things in life, and that dreams are a necessity to maintain hope and strength.

    The issues of death and loss are very strong themes as well and add a lot of authenticity to the coming-of-age process Jerry in particular undergoes. Whitey loves Sandy with all his heart, but at the same time she is a very heavy emotional burden for him to bear. His gift for her is an ultimate sign of affection, showing his deep love and heart wrenching commitment to make her happy. One of the most compelling messages of the story shines through at the end when Jerry realizes that Whitey is gone. He is told that "Sooner or later, everybody loses a friend in their lives." Brilliant.

    The Angel Doll is a story about Christmas and the most solemn human virtues. It is indeed a story of one lasting summer and nostalgic childhood memories. At the same time it takes a sentimental look at growing up and learning a lot about yourself and the world around you. It features inspirational themes as well as sincere depictions of how hard and unjust life can be. Just as when Whitey loses the money he has saved for the angel doll, he is down and out. Then Jerry steps in and shows genuine compassion for his friend's needs, thus renewing hope and inciting new confidence in Whitey. This is the main message. Care for those who need you and always remember that giving hope to someone else is the most rewarding gift anyone can give. Be it an angel doll for you ailing sister, pocket money for your struggling friend, donations for children's hospitals or Christmas gifts beneath the tree. Although there is loss and death everywhere around us, it is hope that brings us together and makes us carry on.

    A nice Christmas Them Movie

    I Have Reviewed OVER 500 "Christmas Films and Specials". Please BEWARE Of films and specials with just one review! For instance When "It's a POSITIVE" chances are that the reviewer was involved with the production. "If its Negative" then they may have a grudge against the film for whatever reason. I am fare about these films.

    Review Date 2/25/2019

    Set in 1950's during the Christmas season this film is not groundbreaking or even an award contender for Acting or writing but the films cast makes this film you will remember.

    In this film Young "Whitey" Black (so called because of a tuft of blanched hair on the left side of his head) lives in poverty with his single mother and ailing 4-year-old sister, Sandy. Just across town, young Jerry Barlow lives the advantages of a middle class lifestyle with both parents and his younger brother. When mischief casts Whitey and Jerry into a shared paper route, Jerry quickly learns of Whitey's desire to buy Sandy an angel doll for Christmas. Even though no such dolls exist in their hometown, Whitey, Jerry, and a host of colorful characters set out in search of Sandy's gift. Along the way, reversals of fortune, theft, prejudice, and ultimately, the boys' friendship opens their eyes to the vastness of the small town around them.

    Worth watching but it is at times very predictable.
