The Christmas Cottage

Has anyone seen this movie? Here is a review

Returning home from college one Christmas, young artist Thomas Kinkade (Jared Padalecki) is dismayed to learn that attempts to promote local tourism have failed and his mother (Marcia Gay Harden) is dangerously close to losing the family cottage to foreclosure. Inspired by his mentor, Glen (Peter O' Toole), a famous artist who lives next door, Thom accepts a job painting a mural of his small, idyllic hometown. With Glen's help, Thom not only discovers his calling as the Painter of Light(tm) but also helps the town rediscover the true spirit of Christmas in this nostalgic, humorous and heartwarming true story destined to become a holiday classic.

That is indeed right, got it - ain't watched it yet...
I think every time you come down we have some vague plan that we're gonna watch it, but then we get oggling at screen savers, or past epis, or get wrapped up in 5000+ word story notes!!

I managed to get hold of a copy which arrived just after Christmas, but with all the rush we didn't get round to watching it (the kids didn't fancy it and they monopolised the Christmas viewing. Plus we were writing "The 12 Saves of Christmas" which as you know took up every waking moment for several years!!
So one way or another, it just hasn't happened.

I promise I'll watch it soon. Then I'll post up a review...

If you like Rob, I can bring it along to the Hilton and you can have a lend, or I'll pop it in the post for ya...Let me know if you fancy it.

Your not alone regarding a little sap-idge dude, hell, I got choked up last night watching Ep10 Heaven and Hell Supernatural last night when Dean was finding it very difficult to explain to Sam how long he was in Hell for....4 months NOOOOO try 40 years, awesome acting. Wonder if they get the guys to sniff onions to get their eyes watery before camera rolls????

OMG you weren't alone in getting all teary eyed at the end on H&H - my god those boys can act.
