Top Critics Reviews

"The Christmas Candle," based on a book by Texas minister Max Lucado, might be the ideal movie for Christians in search of family-friendly entertainment, but its appeal won't stretch beyond that demographic.

This odd Dickens-meets-Sunday-school movie is as artless as the setup is muddled.

This holiday movie about a man of God who regains his faith thanks to a miraculous candle is as picturesque as a snow globe and just about as full of human life.

Relates the weak-tea parable of a town that receives a wish-giving candle every 25 years from an angel.

Melds the intriguing with the hokey in a variation on the standard template of a nonbeliever who changes his outlook amid a holiday miracle.
