6/10 - sweet Hallmark flick will be one to come back to in future years

This was a good story. Different from the usual Hallmark storyline and no one was dead that they were mourning. The lead actress was a new face and she was good. I really enjoyed this one

About half way through I seriously considered turning this movie off. I kept asking myself where is the crisis? There's got to be something to keep me watching. Fortunately there's lots of commercials so it ended pretty quickly. Really no plot. Just a sappy love story.

It is just one of very good Hallmark Christmas films. Because it propose more than the nice story, the familiar actors, the sweet humor and the chaines of cliches. A good story about militaries on operational fronts, comunity, siblings, small business, coffee and a story of love wise crafted. A real special film from Hallmark because it ignores some borders, defines a not easy theme and gives a decent , in delicate manner, portrait of the characters.

Loved this movie, unsure why a lovely lady and such a nice guy stayed single into there 40s but its a sweet xmas movie.

This well meaning military Christmas movie is full of good deeds and caring for others. But there is something missing. There is a lack of chemistry between the lead actors. The actress seems high strung and uninvolved in the romance. The guy seems sincere but it's one sided.

An interesting plotline develops from a chance situation, bringing together romance and life choices in a way that is both satisfying and believable. The lead characters seem very real, which adds to the depth of the movie and lets the audience really appreciate how the various subplots work out in the end.

I felt this movie fell a little flat for me. I was hoping for a little more chemistry between the leads, while I really like Marc Blucas and it centered around the solders, I felt the female lead Melissa Clare Egan was not a good match and was rushing her lines. Again, like another reviewer I would of loved to of seen Marc Blucas reunite with Tricia Helfer in an Operation Christmas sequel instead of this one. The ending was good, just a little to late for me. Wasn't to sure about Patti Murins character, but I did think the standout actor in this movie was the co-worker/friend Latarsha Rose Who played jade.
