PLOT:
from official "When Angels Sing" site:
WHEN ANGELS SING is a life-affirming story for all ages!
Harry Connick Jr. stars as Michael Walker, who, as a child, wished every day could be Christmas. That is, until a tragic accident crushed his holiday spirit. Thirty years later, Michael still can't muster any joy for the holidays, despite encouragement from his playful wife (Connie Britton) and well-intentioned parents (Kris Kristofferson, Fionnula Flanagan). But when his young son (Chandler Canterbury) faces a tragedy, Michael needs to make amends with his past. A mysterious man named Nick (Willie Nelson) gives Michael a gift and instills in him the courage to find the joy that he lost.
Based on Book: When Angels Sing by Turk Pipkin
Also, Lyle Lovett spoke about the movie, in an interview:
here's an excerpt-
You just filmed a Christmas movie called When Angels Sing, with Harry Connick Jr., Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. That’s a pretty big musical lineup.
Music was a big component. The movie was filmed in Austin and it’s set in Austin, and it very much reflects the music community there. There are other musicians in it too; Bruce Robison is in it, Charlie Sexton is in it, Marcia Ball is in it. They play extended family members of Harry Connick’s character. He plays a guy who’s lost the Christmas spirit, and he and his wife and son move into a neighbourhood that is famous for being the town’s big Christmas neighbourhood, where people come to look at the lights. I’m his new neighbour, who is the Christmas decorating rabble-rouser. I’m Mr. Enthusiastic Christmas.
