Product Description

From Amazon.com

Anyone skeptical of updated retreads of Christmas movie classics may be genuinely surprised by this 1994 version of Miracle on 34th Street. Based on the 1947 holiday classic, this new Miracle sticks close to the original's story, though it offers more contemporary, crisper pacing and a tone curiously more reflective--even sorrowful--than before. Richard Attenborough is charming and twinkly as Kris Kringle, the part that won Edmund Gwenn an Oscar. Mara Wilson is the little New York City girl who doesn't believe in Santa Claus until Kris persuades her otherwise. Elizabeth Perkins is her hardened mother, and Dylan McDermott plays the handsome lawyer next door who defends Kris during an insanity hearing. While screenwriter John Hughes has toughened up the dialogue a bit, and McDermott's intensity looks like a dry run for his then- future role on television's The Practice, this Miracle is as persuasively sweet as the one previous. --Tom Keogh

Let me say two things.
1. I love old movies.
2. I mistrust remakes.
However, I loved this remake. It has become a regular part of our Christmas for the past 10 years. My wife loves it and I do as well. Get it now!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good remake, Nov 16 2011
By 
This review is from: Miracle on 34th Street (DVD)
It is rare that we see good remakes of classics, but in this case it is a winner. We have to remember that the story had to be adapted to a new era. They did it without losing the beauty of the orginal story, its lessons and the magic. I love it and I listen to both versions every year during the holiday season.

4.0 out of 5 stars Miracle on 34th St., Feb 10 2010

Josephine Wake (Kitchener, ON Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Miracle on 34th St. (VHS Tape)
My husband says I am a big kid, but I love this movie and watch it every Christmas so I was delighted to get my own copy. Most people know it is about Santa and a little girl who doesn't believe in him because her mother was badly hurt and thinks believing in fairy tales is a good way to be hurt again. Susan, the little girl, asks Santa for things she thinks he can't possibly get, a particular house, a father and a baby brother. Santa manages to convince Susan he is genuine not to mention the whole of New York City and the movie ends in a very romantic way.
