    Not believable

    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.

    Rank

    First, did not care for ending. Second, during the first part of movie it showed husband with a rank of Major. Later when they showed him online talking to to his wife, they showed him with captain bars on. That's right before he was supposed to be killed. WHAT, did he get a demotion? If your going to have some sort of Military movie, then it should be acurate. I'm x-military, and it hurts to think Hallmark would not check facts. We are watching the end now, and he has captain bars on. It's sad to think that Hallmark would let this happen, and that the good actors and actresses had to be in it.

    Disappointed

    The storyline is noble, about a solder lost and a family trying to move on. But the characters and actual family story were lame. As someone else commented a total waste of Steven Lund's talent. Erin had somewhat of a good role but even that was dull. Lund had a role with more meaningful dialogue and excellent character development when he played the brother of Charlie in just one episode of the Hudson and Rex TV series than this two hour Hallmark movie. This is not the first Christmas movie of this year that has sorely missing the mark. Hope they improve over the next two months. Hallmark vs GAC seems to be watering down quality to the detriment of the actors.

    Wasted time

    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.

    Ending ruined this Hallmark movie

    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!)

    • Trivia

    • Goofs
      At the start and of the film and on the day he went MIA, Colby wears Captain's bars, but when Audrey is born he is wearing gold leaf as a Major. The only way this could be true is if he was promoted and then demoted, which isn't mentioned in the film.
