Pluskylang Great Film overall

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Elias Egan I can't see why anybody would like this If you do you are Pro War and Pro Gun. The cost of a war is never mentioned in terms of what is gained from the killing of many civilians that get caught in the crossed hairs. The don't even have to be in a war zone to be affected for the act of a stupid meaningless war. This film acts like a commercial for (Name your branch here). If this tyoe of film entertains you then I have to beg to ash you "Why". This was miscast and poorly executed. The war is seen as "Good" when in fact it has done nothing but harm to not only to the people in the war zone but for the United States as well. I have never seen a film that made me this mad.

christmasjaws I lost my husband in the Iraq invasion. He was sent there because George W Bush lied about Iraq having "Weapons of mass destruction". I was left alone with 2 children. I then had to move out of base housing because "I was not in the service". This film show us nothing of the pain of explaining "loss to children". It also show "nothing of the 24/7 pain" that you go through when you lose someone. My husband hated the war! "He was mad when had to go". He was mad when fellow vets were "Hushed" when they even dared to question the mission. So my children are now 22 and 24. They will not enlist in the war because our country only cares about rich people now. This film makes saints out of vets which truthfully "THEY ARE NOT SAINTS". They are just doing what they are told. When one vets saves another vet "That's a Hero", When they enter a country with a TANK "Do you think they seem like heroes to the people who live there?" This film was crap. It will only be good to people who "Never question authority"

Debzreview I've watched this twice and will watch it again. I wasn't sure about it at in the beginning but when Amanda and Jim first met it was clear they were going to be good together. They had great chemistry. Jim was definitely a keeper, one of the good guys and you could really feel his heartbreak when Amanda pulled away near the end. The scene on base at the bus made it all worthwhile and of course the surprise homecoming. It was nice to have lead characters who were not wealthy and counting their pennies like the rest of us. It was overall a really good, heartwarming Christmas story. It's definitely worth a watch.

loisbeers This is one of those films that make you hate "Hallmark Movies". The screenplay is terrible. The acting quality is not there. You have 2 people who are 20 years too old for the parts. In this film a widow of a soldier is hard up for cash. Her hours are being cut down at work. She is now renting out a room and she happens to rent it out to a solider that is on the mend from combat duty. Together they are both not only mending each other but they are also trying to save the city's museum. Because this is a Hallmark film you know what is going to happen. A SUGAR COMA!!!
