Une histoire éternelle pour Noël

This was good for 1 hour 45 min. Then it morphed into the strangest ending I've ever seen in a Christmas movie. Steve Lund was wasted in this. Love Erin Cahill but this wasn't for me. For a better moving on story, watch Christmas Homecoming instead.

Seriously, the character played by Erin Cahill just wasn't rootable at all and exhibited no character growth whatsoever throughout the movie. She started and ended the movie in the exact same place emotionally. This seems to be an ongoing pattern at Hallmark since new leadership came in. They seem to think viewers want shock value instead of predictability and usual tropes. The reason the network is successful is because people watch for predictability and tropes.

We're two women who love the fluffy predictable Hallmark Christmas movies normally, as a break from the stressful real world and even the other kind of shows we watch and also love with plenty of action, violence, sex, etc. But this one ends in a ridiculous out of the blue way that destroys the whole story of the movie. It also makes no sense for how things work in the world. It's a complete fantasy ending far in excess of the bit of romantic fantasy we allow for in a Hallmark movie. It left us frustrated and wishing we had watched something else. Skip this one. Plenty of other Hallmark movies this year, (and Lifetime, Netflix, UpTV!)

Steve Lund and Erin Cahill should have made for one of the best movies of the season. What do we get instead? A horrendous train wreck of a movie with clearly the worst writing and research ever done on the Hallmark channel. It is an affront to service people and veterans and instead of being happy at the ending it was like watching a train wreck. You couldn't believe this was happening on every level. The acting with these two was as always good. The actors were well cast and the direction ok. The script though should have been rewritten from the halfway point on. Who signed off on this and thought yeah this is a good hallmark movie?

One of the worst movies ever made. I understand that anything is possible in movies but this is unbelievably impossible. The military is apparently inept, unable to determine if a soldier has perished or not. An incredible slap in the face of Gold Star Families.

I feel sorry for Erin Cahill and Steve Lund. Their names will be forever linked to literally one of the worst Hallmark movies.

I found it difficult to watch, the movie never found a groove. I contemplated switching to GAC after the first 30 minutes but I figured it would come around. Wrong.

I probably would've enjoyed washing the dog or cleaning the refrigerator more.

The movie's ending was preposterous and ruined it for me. Hallmark needs to hire some new writers - puleez! I don't want to see formulaic storylines or tropes - I'm sick of the same old, same old from Hallmark. The same story over and over with different actors in different towns. While this movie was a departure from the usual ending, it was completely unbelievable. I want to see really great stories about people finding (or in this case, losing) love. Many people have commented on the inaccuracies with military procedures, etc. This is classic for Hallmark no matter what the story is about. Continuity errors, technical errors abound on most of their movies. It's just lazy writing. They take their audience for granted and it shows.
