Movie Reviews of The Christmas Card
Movie Review: The Christmas Card
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie. It brings back memories when I was in Vietnam, waiting for letters and care packages. When someone you don't even know sends a christmas card like this to you while your in a war zone, the impact of the message that someone cares about you and wishes you a safe return home, it only puts stars in your eyes.
This was a well produced and directed movie, I didn't see any holes in the story line. When Cody went to visit sgt Jone's widow, that made me well up with a lot of emotion. The seane didn't really show her crying, but I'm sure she did.
That boy friend of faith's was shot down in flames when the two of them kissed at the secret place.
The curly extra crisp fries was the main point in the movie, they both thought alike and were very hard workers and were very much into family closeness too.
Happy days for them both, I only wish I could of had a girl like Faith waiting for me when my tour in Vietnam was over.
Movie Review: Sweet and touching
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very sweet, clean, family-friendly movie. Its one of my favorites, right up there with Hallmark's Season For Miracles - it has the same tone and theme of welcoming strangers into a family.
Cody Cullen is a soldier overseas at Christmastime who receives a Christmas card from well-wishing stranger Faith. He is touched by the card and keeps it close. When a fellow soldier is killed in an attack, he returns to the States to notify and comfort the widow. While there, he also searches for and meets Faith, but never tells her how he knows her. Through a series of events he becomes like a member of Faith's family. When his time is up, he leaves the Christmas Card with a special gift for Faith's family and disappears without saying goodbye. Faith then realizes her feelings for him and tries to catch up with him. Naturally, it is a happily-ever-after fairytale story. :-)
Movie Review: Going down as a classic
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie on so many levels. It was good clean and got to the heart of Christmas. And that is that it's centered around Church celebration, charity and loving strangers among us. Besides the leading gal/guy are easy on the eyes, watching the love, laughter and chemistry between them really made this film believeable. I loved Ed Asner as Luke Spellman and the crazy uncle- HE was hilarious! I've watched it with 2 very different sets of people, young 20's and early 40's and both sets of people laughed and found similar charachters within their own families. THAT is what makes this movie. The setting at the Spellman house was so warm/loving. The humor was great and the town folk all seemed to be people that i've seen at other churches. All in all, I rate this movie a perfect 10! And I'm even planning a trip to Nevada City soon :).....Happy Holidays and God Bless.Movie Review: Beautiful story about the heart of Christmas
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm usually not so sappy when it comes to Christmas movies, but I loved this movie.
A beautiful woman sends Christmas cards to the troops, with pictures of her hometown. A sergeant receives one of these cards and after going on leave following a fellow soldier's death, he finds himself in Washington timber country. I loved the cute little scenes in the diner where they both find they love curly fries and the tasteful flirtations. The church scene was so nostalgic and made me want to head straight to church. The only disbelieving part was where she breaks up with her shallow fiance and he takes it so well and gentlemanly.
A Boyfriend for Christmas and Eve's Christmas are also movies I've seen recently that I'm also purchasing. Take a look at them as well.
Movie Review: Great Local Holiday Flick!
Summary: 5 Stars
Albeit a tad predictable and somewhat cheesy at times, this was a great locally shot film. It's always fun to see familiar landmarks and close-to-home shots; somehow it gives you ownership in the film. The film starts with a young woman writing a Christmas card to send to a solider in combat. She mentions her life there, the local church, and expresses her gratefulness for the solider who is fighting for all our freedoms--it touches this solider--and centers around him; he is asked to take some leave from "the war" after a solider under his command is killed, and literally dies in his arms. Intrigued by this Christmas card, he travels to Grass Valley, California, in search of the woman who wrote this card. To say more would ruin the film. Definitely a two-tissue movie!
