A different sort of Christmas June 27, 2003

I love to watch this movie every Christmas! The story concerns a family living in Australia in the 1800's. Australia is very hot at Christmas, because their summer is then, so the holiday gets celebrated very differently. During the story, a drought is on and everything is dying. The family is very poor and can't afford to buy gifts but their little boy is sure that "Father Christmas" whom he thinks he's met in person, will get him a gift if he's good. When a scoundrel pretending to be Father Christmas, and the local rich man get involved, it becomes a Christmas none of them ever forget. The movie has one scene that would make it worth watching anyway, even if it weren't a good movie: the scene where they try to have a traditional English Christmas (complete with Yule log in 100 + weather) and the roasted pig takes a header across the room. You'll love it!
Over the top for a down under Christmas December 14, 1999

A different look at Christmas in a different culture with fine acting, crisp dialogue, good humor and the underlying true meaning of Christmas coming through without overbearing moral overtones. A wonderful, entertaining alternative to typical Hollywood gushy Christmas shows produced with half-wits in mind.
One of the Best Christmas Films March 15, 2004

I first saw "The Christmas Visitor" (aka "Miracle Down Under") in the late 1980's on The Disney Channel. In my opinion it is one of the best Christmas films out there. It's serious, yet funny, and touches the heart. Unfortunatlely it is relatively unknown. I have not seen it on TV since. I highly recommend that you see this film.

What a wonderful, overlooked holiday film. An amazing cast of characters that reveals the hard life in turn of the century Australia. One of our families annual traditions is to watch this movie together.
This is a very good family movie! December 12, 1998

A nice family movie of a feel good nature. I believe it used to be titled "The Christmas Visitor". I don't know why it was changed. I have been looking to purchase it for years and now found it under this title.
