My best friend and I were absolutely obsessed with this movie when it came out...it's so cute! We still talk about it around Christmas time, just for old times sake. Seems so incredibly long ago...I describe it as "back when Disney Channel was actually good." Of course, maybe being a preteen back then had something to do with that opinion; I might not be as impressed now.
I 110% agree with you patronus! My best friend(who was my neighbor back when this movie came out too) were both the same age as the girls. We watched this one night and then later it started to snow!(though we get that every winter) but still, such a heart felt movie.
