Based on the 1947 screenplay by George Seaton, this 1994 version of the classic holiday tale Miracle On 34th Street is excellent by remake standards. Except for the ho-hum ending, the modernization of the December standard turns out better than most. And a lot of the credit should go to cutie-pie Mara Wilson, who, more than capably stars as six-year-old Susan, the practical girl who doesn't believe in Santa Claus. Her mom (Perkins) is an executive at Cole's department store and in charge of their famous parade's Santa. She believes in being truthful with Susan about the world of make believe. But when Susan meets the department store's new Santa (Attenborough), she has no choice but to believe. (Laurie Sevano)
