A great rental that makes you feel warm inside. This deals with raw issues. Ving plays an excellent role and he is what caught my eye to continue watching it. He is much more handsome in real life. :) But overall, Alfre Woodard works it and the rest of the characters just adds color. it is funny and yet thought provoking. I watched the edited version on TV but would rent the actual copy to not have the edited scenes as i saw on BET. I don't remember this movie getting a lot of publicity but this movie would have the same type of popularity as "The Burning Bed". Don't take my word for it. Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think.
I saw this movie last night. I was getting ready to go out yesterday when I started watching it. I was so much into the movie that before I left the hous. I had to tivo it to watch when I got back home. It was a really really good movie. I thought the cast were all brilliant and the script was good as well. I was shocked when my husband sat down to watch it as well. He's not into dramatic movies but he actually said that the acting was pretty good and believable. This is definitely one that I would recommend to watch. I was amazed to see Ving Rhames act in this role. He's great. Alfre Woodward as always is excellent. I'm surprised that I did not hear about this movie before.
Holiday Heart was a very heartwarming movie. I have actually seen this movie three times. The story line is unique and makes you think about how much one person's kindness and love can change a difficult situation. Alfre Woodard was great in her role as Wanda and Ving Rhames really touched my soul as the drag queen with a heart made of gold.
This is probably one of my Top Ten of movies that one must see for the realistic plot and the plot formation. There was more creative thought into the plot and dynamics between the characters and this is not your "normal" movie, however, it shows a paradox between being a drag queen and also being a Christian, which is cool. It's heart warming, yet realistic in a world that values quick answers and easy solutions. It offers hope and reality. The lines are well written. The music is great. The actors and actresses are well chosen. Top notch film.
