A Dad for Christmas


     This film is also titled Me and Luke.  Matt is nineteen years old and his girlfriend goes to the hospital to deliver a baby boy.  Emma has refused his marriage proposals.  Emma and her mother arranged to have a family adopt the baby.  Matt doesn’t want them to do this but they won’t listen to anything he has to say.  Before the mom leaves the hospital, Matt sees a chance to walk out the door of the hospital with baby Luke.  This is his only chance to stand by the baby.  Matt knows what it is like to have people run out on your life and he doesn’t want this for Luke.  Matt and Luke go to Matt’s grandmother’s house in Pennsylvania and she agrees to let him stay with her until he can figure out his life.
     This is very good, Matt really steps up to the plate and he takes very good care of Luke.  Glennie, his grandmother has a friend who is an attorney and he agrees to help Matt obtain legal custody of Luke.  3 ½* (I liked this movie)
