Stats: 1997. Starring Roma Downey, Eric McCormack, Hector Elizondo. Not Rated.
Background: Borrowed Hearts is a Christmas movie that aired on CBS when I was in high school. I thought it was super cute (though not quite as cute as another CBS Christmas movie), and when I saw it in Walmart’s $5 bin (bundled with three other Christmas movies that I’d never heard of), I wanted it. The problem? I was in the middle of a year long, self-imposed movie purchasing ban. Enter my sister, who bought it and gave it to me in my stocking at Christmas.
Plot: Kathleen (Downey) is a single mom in need of cash. Sam (McCormack) is a business owner in need of a family. He hires Kathleen and her daughter to pose as his family in order to secure a business deal with Señor Del Campo (Elizondo). Of course, they fall in love.
Reactions: This is just as cute as I remembered! Hector Elizondo totally steals the show as the enigmatic Del Campo. This is a feel good movie that the whole family can enjoy.
Verdict: Keep
I love this one! I still have it on videotape...though I haven't used my VCR in some time! :) I have probably seen this movie about 8 times...:)
