November Christmas

Rhode Island farmer Jess Sanford (Sam Elliott) was nonplussed when new neighbor Tom Marks (John Corbett) came around in late summer asking after pumpkins and Christmas trees. When he discovers that Tom’s young daughter Vanessa (Emily Alyn Lind) is fighting cancer--and that the family’s trying to accelerate the holiday seasons for her--he pitches in to make it happen, healing some of his own wounds along the way. Inspirational offering co-stars Sarah Paulson, Karen Allen, Elizabeth McLaughlin. 96 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
