jmmgausa Well, I found this on BET today. It was on at 1pm. Channel surfing saves the day again. I thought Ving Rhames was very good in the part. Not all drag queens are successful because they are beautiful; a lot of their success comes from their humor and personality coming thru with a touch of outrageousness. Charlie Brown and Divine come to mind. Alfre Woodard was gold like always; very, very good portrayal of a crack addict. The actress who played the daughter was really good too. I kind of had a hate/love feeling about Silas. I think the script had some holes but overall a very good story. I would prefer to see it unedited as I think all the editing they did took some of the edge out of the picture. I felt good at the end even though it was somewhat tragic. I think this picture did what it was supposed to; it was supposed to make you care about the characters and I did by the end.

Britinmiami What a surprise I had when I accidentally came across this movie. I saw Holiday Heart on Logo early one Saturday morning after dropping my partner off at the airport. I was basically killing time! NOT! I began watching the film and I simply couldn't stop! I was hooked after the first ten minutes.This is really a great little film and I recommend it to everyone. It touches a lot of issues and the setting is so refreshingly different. I also think Ving did a brilliant job playing the main character. I am sure he is glad to have that as part of his CV.As for the rest of the cast, I thought they all did a great job. It wasn't until later that I remembered where I had seen Mykelty Williams - Boomtown. He played a great supporting role! Its great that Logo is bringing this movie to us and I hope plenty of people get to see it.

mrgray83 Holiday Heart is the tale of Holiday, a talented drag queen and how his life intertwines with the lives of a young girl named Nikki and her mother, who tries to kick a drug habit during the course of the film. Holiday is at first accepted by the mother and child after he saves them from an abusive relationship, only to be rejected by them when a new love enters the mother's life. The new love is a drug dealer, but does not approve of the mother using drugs. She eventually goes back to the drugs and he cuts her loose. After she disappears Holiday has to step back in to help take care of Nikki, which he does, even though he has dreams of getting away to Paris to start a new life since he recently lost the love of his life.Where do I start with this film? The acting is TOP NOTCH. Ving Rhames, who plays Holiday, gives one of the best performances I have ever seen in my lifetime. Alfre Woodard, who plays the mother, just steals the show though. Her portrayal of an addicted mother is so great that words can do it no justice. It really has to be seen. The child actor turns in an outstanding performance as the child distraught over her mother's problems. I was extremely impressed at how she was so adult in many scenes, due to the fact that such a life will cause a child to grow up very quickly.I rate this a solid 10 out of 10. One of the greatest films I've ever seen.

missmona20 Holiday Heart was a very heartwarming movie. I have actually seen this movie three times. The story line is unique and makes you think about how much one person's kindness and love can change a difficult situation. Alfre Woodard was great in her role as Wanda and Ving Rhames really touched my soul as the drag queen with a heart made of gold.
