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.

---------------------
When Angels SIng was a horrible movie. It was clearly a contrivance to get a bunch of country singers to play bit parts. The plot was bad and the acting worse. Please do not waste valuable air time by showing this movie again next Christmas season, unless you show it at 3:00 in the morning.
