Mickey Rooney stars in the made for TV movie Home for Christmas. When a young girl befriends a homeless man her family ends up taking him in for the holidays. The story is a little trite and sentimental, but that’s somewhat to be expected for this type of holiday film. Also, the acting is rather lackluster, though Rooney has a certain charm and charisma. But it’s really the music more than anything else that drags the film down with its intrusiveness and obvious emotional cues. Home for Christmas is a mediocre holiday film full of all the usual tropes and clichés.
