First) The cast is great. Second) Its a film about adults. Third )The Setting is beautiful. Fourth) The characters are believable Fifth) It is about love. This film is first rate all the way. I was not exactly excited to see this. Later I found myself "Yelling at The Television" and I never do that. So the film was working on me more than I knew when I was watching it. I really love this film. Yes you can most likely guess the ending but "Not all of it" which makes this movie an emotional experience you will enjoy. This film is meant for ADULTS. Its not for people that love "Spider-Man". The story is a man is on leave from the Iraq war. With no family of his own he goes to a town where the residents send "Christmas Cards" to our service men. To say anything more would be wrong. I love this film. If you like love stories then this is a must. If your a guy buy this for your girlfriend or wife and watch it together. Trust me you will thank me later. Watch it and enjoy

This film deserves another bad review. Consider one reviewer extolling the film's virtues that include 'no sex, violence or gore.' Uh, excuse me. The very set-up of the film has us watching as Cody's young comrade, with love of life and who has everything to live for is blown to bits leaving Cody holding his lifeless, bloody body. And, given the nature of war we know that Cody has seen horror on almost a daily basis. So much for those viewing this film with such rose glasses that the violence which defines Cody's persona is erased from viewer memory. Sans any family of his own Cody, like John Rambo, roams the country on his bike making the long trek to hometown USA in the guise of some place called Nevada City. No mention, no realization of the clear fact that Cody is damaged goods. We know this since his CO practically declares him so as he order Cody to 'get some rest' away from the death and destruction of war. This explains, as none seem to notice or care, Cody's obvious 'flat' effect. It is not bad acting. It is the flat effect of post traumatic stress disorder. Not guessing here, remember his CO ordered him off the battle field. How about that 'accidental' kiss as noted by another review. The fall was an accident, the kiss was not. How exactly was Cody 'respecting' Faith by hitting on her knowing full well she was spoken for? Now that was a non-family value moment. A moment which is then announced to the immediate universe as if posted on YouTube. Of course faith's lapse of fidelity as well as Cody's 'coming on' to a woman who plans to marry another is received in the spirit of the Xmas season, all CHEERING their cheaten' hearts and lips. We know little about Faith's fiancé except that she professes her love for him, she takes no longer than a nano second to accept his proposal (could have waited if any second thoughts), he is generous, he loves her to death, the family has nothing really against him, he believes marriage is based on compromises and the two have never discussed post marriage plans. No evil doers here. Asner is a fine actor given over the hill dialogue like 'we love you son....' 'You are part of our family' literally days after they have met a stranger named Cody. And the 'band of brothers' speech where the phrase was above all never intended to apply to virtual strangers off the battle field. Bottom line: This film is cotton candy Xmas fluff that betrays itself in major ways. Most grossly when it applauds Cody's disrespect for Faith by physically hitting on her knowing full well she is spoken for. By re-defining family as we know it to wit: accepting a virtual stranger as a full fledged loving member of the family because we all 'love you.' How many of you have done that or know anyone who has done that. NOT.

I have seen this movie three times and would have seen it more If it had been on TV more times. Love the story, and the actors and the scenery was beautiful, told my friend about the story and she watched with me on Christmas day and she enjoyed it also. Do you have any idea when this will come out on DVD I want to buy this and then I can see it as much as I want to in my home. The dad and the uncle were very funny and I liked them. The girl that played the daughter was real and not fake acting. The people we open to a stranger in their town, and small town are like that opening up their home to help people out, especially vets. thanks neals-4

Watched this with my girlfriend after stumbling over it while zaping channels. I guess we both hoped for some kind of happy family cute Christmas movie, but were extremely disappointed. the actor playing the soldier, seems to have 0 emotion whatsoever, his face looks the same, whether he's chopping down Christmas tree's, seeing the girl he loves being kissed by her boyfriend, or when he's happily surprised by the girl he loves, he's an awful actor, and at no pont did any of us do nothing but laugh at him. Then there's the cute blond girl, blessed with the ability to count dot's and cheat on her boyfriend, what a catch! and her ambition in life is to live with her parents and count more dots. So it's basically a story about a guy without any emotion or feelings who falls for a guy who count dots and cheats on her boyfriend, it's as predictable as it get's, and really a waste of time, you gain nothing by watching this, other than some weird laughs, because it's all so corny. I love it when her dad says that he only eats french fries and not french wine, and they all laugh, that's the hillbilly attitude this movie is about, furthermore, if my girlfriends dad were bossing me around like, i'd tell him a thing or to, but not our army veteran, no sir, he let's everyone boss him around. The movie is what First Blood would have been, if John Rambo were burn like the biggest wimp in the world.

If it was not for Ed Asner, the guy who played the brother in law and the scenery this movie would not be worth it in any shape or form. The two leads are so wooden it is unbelievable. What should have been a heart lifting beautiful praise to all the armed forces rings about as warm as that lump of snow your brother used to shove down the back of your neck. Did these guys do any type of practice sessions for any scene in this film? I am a sucker for these type of films and usually give them the benefit of the doubt and will usually record them and watch them over and over. But once was ENOUGH!!! Please someone do a little rehearsal before you film it and say cut.

The Best movie I've seen in a long time! So cute! My favorite character is Cody. My favorite Hallmark movie yet! I give it ten thumbs up! My favorite part in this movie was when when Cody and Faith kissed accidentally. Amazingly cute! I want to watch this movie over and over again, but I haven't taped it yet... But I will on Thursday! I'm so much in love with this movie. Just like how Cody is in love with Faith. Faith and Cody make such a cute couple. And I'm so glad that Faith didn't marry her boyfriend Paul, and decided to stay with Cody. I will always love this movie I think. I'll recommend this movie to anyone. Please watch it!!!! Please, please, please!

I watched this movie on wintersport in France, so it was synchronized in French. And I'm very glad it was, because I do not want to hear the conversations in this movie, ever! It's just your plain TV-movie with lousy actors and an EXTREMELY corny storyline. The dude is just the worst I've ever seen, no emotions whatsoever. And don't get me started about the chick who could not once make the right face expression. Although this has been the worst thing I've ever seen, we all shared a big laugh watching it. So I do recommend watching it, but do it when you're high as a kite. And do watch it in French.

Sorry my fellow Nevada City neighbors, but this one is bad. Brian must have had too much botox because he had very little facial expressions through out the entire movie. Alice looked like she had a board strapped to her backside. She was stiff throughout the movie. I looked up both Alice and Brian and was surprised to see the extensive bio of work. I would have guessed that they were first-year students. Ed Asner and Peter Jason carried the movie frankly with their banter and ease with every line. Ed certainly has not lost his charisma. I wish I'd taken the time to meet him while he was here. I love the snow scenes and scenes of stores and the church because I've been there. I make Nevada City my home and was anxiously awaiting the premiere. I was sadly disappointed. Sorry.

I loved this movie! The Holidays are always difficult for me - I lost my fiancé of three years suddenly several years ago during the Christmas season, and often find the standard Holiday fare depressing or worse; reminders of past happier times. This film, as with many Hallmark productions, is uplifting and inspiring, not to mention timely, given our current involvement in Iraq. I come from a long line of Air Force officers - there are seven extended family members currently serving all over the World, including one in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, so the war emphasis had special meaning for me. Although the film may not be Oscar material, the plot line just makes me feel better. I do hope Hallmark releases this movie on DVD, because I have continued to watch my TV recording over and over since the Holidays. When I'm having a bad day or lapsing into self pity and other negative feelings, I watch at least a portion of the movie. It never fails to improve my mood! Unless you're "dumber than a box of rocks", you just can't help but be reminded of hope, the power of a family's love and acceptance, the generosity of others and the ability to overcome the questionable decisions we all make in life. Finally, while some may think the plot line contrived, there are "Nevada City" cities all over our Country and people who really DO live their lives much as the movie characters do. BTW: Peter Jason as Uncle Richard "steals" every scene he's in, with his whimsical quips and general persona! I wish he were a member of my family! LOL
