A military widow, whose faith in Christmas has lapsed, rents an apartment to a handsome Army Captain, recovering from an injury in battle, and whose faith in Christmas is inspirational. As they team up to save the town’s military museum with a Christmas fundraising event, these two ‘wounded birds’ find themselves falling in love — and being healed by the magic of Christmas.

Bardlerx Strictly average movie
Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
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"
huggibear Is it me, or are all the Hallmark movies getting some uplifting, better funding and improvements? The quality of them seem to be improving, which might have something to do with momentum and the crowd that watches these kind of sappy, predictable 'love dramas' is what I call them. But I keep watching them nonetheless because I'm a dreamer and I want to be hopeful that love can come to anyone and everyone at some point. But about the movie, I'm retired US Navy, so I kind of like the 'realistic' kind of military stories of today. It sucks to bring back deployment memories, but it's just a movie and it is enjoyable for a new Hallmark movie this year! I've watched it on 3-4 different occasions, but I seem to get distracted a lot with doing other things, so the last time I watched it was the time I saw it all the way through. I have to watch them at 11 pm to not be distracted that much and I live with my senior citizen mom. That's all. Enjoy your holidays and enjoy this movie!
HalHopandPop When you tune into a Hallmark movie, especially a holiday one, you have to know what you're in for. That said, Christmas Homecoming had a bit of a different feel to it, due to the very real military subject matter.Two years ago, Amanda lost her husband while he was serving overseas. While she happily stands by her sister and other military wives in the town and works for the town's military museum, she struggles to move on and has lost the Christmas spirit she once felt. Enter Jim, a military Sergeant who is recovering from an injury and rents a room from Amanda. While Jim helps Amanda with a fundraiser to save the museum and regain her holiday spirit, she helps him with the guilt and responsibility he is feeling for a few of his fallen comrades.Some would have cast younger actors, but military members and widows come in all ages and Benz and Shanks are believable in their roles, particularly in a few very moving scenes. They definitely had a sweet chemistry that shows both in the movie and BTS footage.In the end, this is still a Hallmark movie so the end results are a bit rushed and predictable. I also would have liked more backstory on Jim. But rarely has a Hallmark movie been so moving without being overly sweet and saccharine. Definitely will watch this one every holiday season.
caiforniagirl Dreadful crap. That is the only way to describe this garbage. In this latest Hallmark Christmas movie Hallmark proves once again that they have no original ideas. This film borrows dramatically when it comes to emotional beats! This war time movie however is terrible. The casting is wrong and it never really touches on why a woman who just lost her husband would want to date another soldier? It also never goes to deep in the cost that war plays on veterans. A better way to approach this movie would of been playing these characters as "Older" and both questioning the cost of war and if the USA should of really butted in? The War and why we are there is never addressed. That makes this film one sided. It doesn't help that the soldier looks like he is about 60. The woman looks like she is 45 thinking/acting like she is 25. One Huge Boring Mess!
