No one expects good acting in a Christmas movie, and even with that low bar, the acting was disappointing, flat and not genuine. The actor of the main character seemed like he had no desire to be in the film at all. The unsteady camerawork and awful lighting gave the film a feel like this was a teen's low-budget high school project using his classmates and teachers as the cast, and not a professional film. Don't watch this film if you get motion sickness from jumpy films. Better yet, don't watch this at all.

This is mostly just someone's home made love letter to some airplane museum in their home town. They clearly just hired two people to be the main actors and the rest are the actual workers and guests. The main plot doesn't even come into play till about half way through, and the whole thing is shot on shaky cam because they have no tripods or steady cam. It's essentially a long tourism ad for this museum nobody has ever heard of or will ever go to. The movie has a $0 budget but also no heart of effort behind it either. It barely qualifies as a movie and is honestly pretty insulting to veterans. And it being Xmas has nothing to do with anything! You could have set this in literally any time of year and it would still be the same piece of unwatchable garbage it is now...

This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. If I'd been in a theater I would have walked out 10 mins in. The acting was stilted, clearly not actors, but maybe a bunch of drama club members who thought it was a good idea to make a video mashup of A Christmas Carol, It's A Wonderful Life, and other really good Christmas movies with a nod to vets reintegrating into society. They should have done their homework. What a mess they made! If I were a vet I'd be offended at this futile attempt at...whatever this was. I'm only sorry I wasted as much time on it as I did.

It pays to read info. The fact that many id The across were former veterans make sense that it wasn't polished. Some of the acting was a little clunky, It was apparent lead, which plays Nick is a more experienced actor. It was sort of a take on A Christmas Carol or It's A Wonderful Life. The message was appreciated.

Not a big Hollywood budgeted movie, as it was not meant to be, coming from a military family and having many friends who have served and currently are in service, I enjoyed the (what I am assuming by the passion in their voices and acting) actual Vets' acting to what amounted to be a pretty good job! That's probably not what any of them thought they would be doing when they signed up willingly to serve our great country!! A good adaptation on A Christmas Carole from a very real situation that many of Americans have experienced. I have witnessed many of the same horrors with friends and family of my own and know these emotions, good and bad, to be all too real! Cudos to everyone involved in this film and THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!! 🇺🇸

As the other reviewer on here has pointed out, if you think this is another Lifetime or Hallmark romance, Christmas movie, "you are going to be bitterly disappointed". The idea for the story is a touching and welcoming one, which deals with issues around reintegration of military vets after service (and their struggles with PTSD), i.e. their transition back to civilian life. In this movie, the lead character, Nick, has returned from Afghanistan and is starting his new job at a (military aircraft) museum called the Air Zoo, and, as we learn, is struggling with PTSD. The writers draw on the Christmas Carol via Nick's Guardian Angel (named Michelle) who appears to act as Nick's Ghost of Christmas past and future, as a means of helping him with his struggles. Though the ideas behind the story/plot are noble, the acting and production of the film are not very good, I am afraid. The first 20 minutes are more like a promotional video for the museum combined with a sort of historical documentary of WW2 military aircraft and pilots. Don't get me wrong, this is the part of the movie that I enjoyed, as I learned a bit about female pilots during WW2. The main storyline, however, is not very engaging; it did not pull me in at all. I had to stop myself on multiple occasions from grabbing my iPad during this one, which is never a good sign. The script/dialogue was OK (though there were some holes), but this gets lost due to the quality of acting, and production quality in general, which makes this one difficult to watch at times. Michael Welch's portrayal of Nick is OK, overall. For the first 45 minutes or so, his performance was quite dull and stiff. The scene where he pushes his new boss away (when he is invited to their house for Christmas) is a good example of what I am talking about here; it was just awkward. I get he was portraying a vet with PTSD, but if I compare him to, e.g., Brandon Quinn in A Welcome Home Christmas (one of Lifetime's Xmas movies this year), which had a similar story, the performances are a world apart. To be fair, Welch's performance does improve considerably with the Ghost of Christmas past, about halfway into the movie; he has a couple of good scenes later in the film. Lauren Rys Martin's performance (as Michelle) was not much better. Like Welch, she had a very stiff performance overall and some awkward scenes. The supporting cast was not great, many I suspect are not actors. Overall, this is not a very good Christmas movie. If you are into WW2 history, you might check this one out. Otherwise, there is not much Christmas cheer in this one.

The sisters did a stupendous job at the dinner table.

This movie had the longest, most boring intro I have ever seen, never want to hear "God rest ye merry gentlemen" again. Past the intro, the movie was slow to really get into the story and the music was too prominent. This is not what I would call a Christmas film.
