 Disappointing December 12, 2007
3 out of 9 found this review helpful
I read a bunch of reviews on this movie, and I was really excited about seeing it. The first 25-30 minutes were very good... quirky, funny and a little bit over the top... then it started going down hill. I understand this was a "made for TV" movie, so the acting is usually somewhat special, but this was REALLY bad. There was no passion... it was just flat.
Overall, I was just disappointed. I am really glad I watched it before I purchased it.
 Movie "The Christmas Card" December 12, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I know many will find this movie a little "hokey". But since I love "schmaltz" I found it charming. Beautiful scenery (I'd like to go to Nevada City someday). Good casting. Maybe I like the movie so much because the part that Ed Asner plays (the jokester husband/father/mill owner) is very much like my own husband. We laugh ever day! Alice Evans is young and fresh -- the girl next door and the young Sargent Cody Cullen is handsome (the strong, silent type) Most importantly, I want to believe that there are people out there who know how to love, how to be generous and kind and how to make Christmas what it SHOULD be. As an "Army Brat", I am very thankful that this movie is not "bashing" our military (I'm sick of that!). God bless our men and women in every branch of the armed forces who defend and protect us -- I am grateful for their sacrifice and service to our Country. I will watch this movie every year, along with White Christmas, Scrooge, The Bishop's Wife (and several others). Good movie with a happy ending!!!

This is an excellent wholesome movie for the whole family. Well acted and it ends right! We have watched this movie over and over. It is one of our favorite Christmas films.
Christmas Card December 11, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
If you like Romance mixed with the holiday spirit along with the religious/christian meaning of Christmas, then this is a movie for you.
A heartwarming story between a soldier serving in Iraq and a young lady who sends him a Christmas card from her church to encourage the soldiers.
This movie in my opinion was the best holiday movie of last year's christmas season and the best ever hallmark movie.
Greatest Movie I've Seen December 10, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
My husband and I just came across this movie on a Sunday night by chance while flipping through the cable channels. We read the description and decided to watch it. We had no idea how great it was going to be. My husband is one who is into the "guy" movies like most guys, but said "that was a REALLY good movie". It is SO refreshing to see a movie with a great story line and great acting, that is also void of filthy language, sex and violence!!!! It's a terrific family movie. I'll be giving this movie as a gift.
