You don't have to worry about the kids hearing profanity or seeing nudity. Heartwarming and kind of predictable but still entertaining. Plus John Newton is very easy on the eyes.

Definately what most people call a "chick flick". I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it for everyone though. I hope they would replay it on TV again between Thanksgiving and Christmas. This is the type of movie to remind us of compassion and "giving" from the heart. It has several different "positive" messages in it. It's nice to watch a movie that you enjoy and feel good inside about after it's over. Great for children also. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

The main character is a hot military man who is burned out a bit, then gets a Christmas Card. It is a little hooky in some parts and the writing is predictable, but worh the watch to feel good about it. Everything seem so negative about the Iraq/Afgan war, this is something positive.

Read More This is a great movie if you over 65 and like to watch middle aged couples act like 13 year olds. This movie may have too much sexual tension for young kids. If I would have noticed that it was a Hallmark movie, I would have passed on it. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More It's not a fairy tale story or uncommon that Nevada County is actually a place where friends and family welcome you with open arms, and how kind strangers go out of their way for you--and NOT just because its Christmas! I am always a fan of good old-fashioned love stories and thought this was not only a great representation of showing the best of people's human spirit and generosity, but it reminded me of what I love about coming home to our small town community. If you get a chance to visit Grass Valley or Nevada City during the holidays, I'm sure you'll come appreciate how movies like this can illuminate the good in the world even when war is unfortunately part of our reality.

Read More Anyone who didn't know better watching this movie would be led to believe that all military guys are these chivalrous, moral, ethical gentleman. Being someone who has seen all aspects of military life, I have to say that this movie was pure right wing propaganda. Seriously people, there is a reason that military families have a 70-90% domestic violence rate! Not only was this movie cheese ball, it was so poorly acted by the lead woman that I just couldn't even like her character. The guy was okay. I am always on the look-out for a nice romantic, wholesome (not religious) movie to snuggle up with my daughter and watch. This one just does not fit that expectation or hope.
