Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

I think tricia does a good job of acting along side the bozo marc...he's very smug about himself...the big problem i have with him is his lack of regard for wearing the uniform properly...white tee shirts are never worn under the sweater unless you wear the proper blouse over it...sweaters are never decorated with ribbons or badges, only the epaulets...similarly, the light weight jacket is never worn over a tee shirt unless the tee is covered by the proper blouse...recommended tee shirts are v neck so they don't show under the blouse....head covers are never worn indoors...if you are doing a film about the military its necessary to get it right please

This movie had an interesting storyline--life with an active-duty army ranger. I enjoyed it, and have purchased it.I thought the character of Olivia Young got beat up a bit for having fears about the ranger's safety and questions about being left alone to raise children during his long assignments who-knows-where. I think Olivia's concerns were realistic, especially given some of the scenes depicting the reality of family life with a loved one overseas.I appreciated the references to God in this Christmas movie. That's getting more and more rare.I also want to mention there was some inappropriate touching between the army ranger and the child actress playing his little girl. (It was during a dinner scene.) I hope it was an accident. :-(

I saw this one for the first time this year and wasn't sure if I would like it for some reason. But I was pleasantly surprised. Emotions are up and down but overall it's a feel good movie with a tearjerker ending. I'm not sure how it happened but these two lead actors were new to me but WOW Tricia and Marc were great together. I have since seen them each in other movies and they have both become favorites.

This film should've been much better than it was.For a start, it has some of my favoured television "B-Cast List" actors with Marc Blucas, Gabrielle Rose, and Lisa Durupt. However, actors can only act out the script at the director's direction, and this is where the film fell flat.The writer, instead of going for deep and meaningful, tried for schmaltzy and sweet... and failed. All you got was cliché, after cliché, after cliché, and so on...They had so much scope for a heartfelt and expressive Christmas movie with a hint of romance and serious family issues revolving around the army and any manoeuvres that may occur during the festive season.The direction was standard and none too engaging.The predictable "throw-away" ending only made me grimace and feel sorry for the spouses, who were sat in the audience, who weren't as lucky as the love interest in the movie.This is how not to make a Christmas Film and I'd recommend viewers to stay clear.
