I don’t usually watch the Christmas/Chanukah Movies from
Hallmark, GAC, Up, etc. (I prefer the old Classic Holiday Films they don’t show)
but I was told about this film on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries Channel and so
watched it.
“A World Record Christmas,” premiered on Thursday, November
16, The movie stars Nikki DeLoach, Lucas Bryant and Aias Dalman.
Dalman, who portrays a Boy on the Autism Spectrum, is also on
the Spectrum himself.
Charlie (Dalman) is an Autistic Boy determined to set a
Guinness World Record by stacking 1,400 Jenga blocks. His Mother Marissa
(DeLoach) and Stepfather Eric (Bryant) encourage him to reach for his dream and
they all celebrate when he gets the good news that he’ll have get his chance on
Christmas Eve. In the spirit of the holiday, they organize a Fundraiser giving
the Townspeople an opportunity to donate and decorate a Jenga block, with the
proceeds going to benefit kids with Autism. Charlie’s journey to setting the
Jenga world record gives them all the chance to learn more not just about
themselves, but about what family really means.
I won’t say how the film ends, but will say it was a good
Christmas Movie and a good Movie about someone with Autism (portrayed by
something with Autism.)
