My Grown-Up Christmas List

Taylor and Luke meet while he is dressed as Santa and she is mourning a loved one. They talk, he even sends a gift and they dont see each other until the next year.

This movie is about a long distance relationship that is 3 years in the making (I think that is a first for Hallmark). It's definitely not what we are used to.

I thought the movie was quite heartwarming, there were moments between the characters that I felt I was intruding. You can feel how much Kevin and Kayla adore each other and they were happy to be there together.

Now, on the other hand, it is quite slow and there were moments that bored me. I'm not that happy with the ending either. It felt rushed. I thought it was heading in another direction. I also had questions, are civilians allowed there? Is this relationship doomed? They have barely spent time together, physically. What about his career?

Anyway, A+ for the effort Hallmark. But not the biggest fan. However, I would love to see more of Kevin and Kayla together, specially Kayla as a lead.

The movie was good and thought it was cute. The military aspect as way off though. The hair was too long, lapel rifles crooked, etc. If they're going to use the military in a story line at least make sure things look more put together.

My husband proudly served in the United States Army and we are a patriotic family. I really enjoyed, "My Grown-up Christmas List." In fact, it's in my top two movies so far this season. I looked past the errors made regarding military protocol because the storyline, acting and chemistry made me happy. I also like that it was filmed in the winter, so the weather wasn't faked. The times of separation between Taylor and Luke got to me as well. We appreciate that our military was honored by the characters and always watch the Hallmark movies that do so. I'd love to see more with Kevin and Kayla. They have great chemistry and make a wonderful couple.

This had to be the best Hallmark / Christmas movie I've watched this year Kevin and Kayla have so much chemistry this movie was touching and romantic definitely one of those movies more than once.

This is a prime example of how Hallmark re-hashes the same old plot lines in some of their new Christmas movies.

There's really nothing here that you haven't seen done before, but the saving grace is that it is so well acted by the cast, particularly the leads. Kayla Wallace and Kevin McGarry are very good as a woman who has lost her Christmas spirit and the military man she becomes involved with. Together, they elevate the script so much so that you can't help being entertained by this endearing, yet often told, story. Plus, it really is winter - there is no fake snow here so the cinematography is very attractive at times. It looks and feels real. All in all, it's worth watching.
