    Beautiful Veteran Mystery Christmas Love Story

    This movie was absolutely beautiful and so endearing, I loved it!! There was such a rich story and mystery that honors and celebrates our veterans and military. Paul Greene is my favorite actor and he absolutely shined with the beautiful Jill Wagner. Their chemistry was electric and also sweet. I was teary eyed in multiple parts, in the best way. I haven't felt this connected to a Christmas movie in a while, I'm so glad I watched this premiere. Paul has an original song featured in the movie that really brought a whole new level of emotion and heart to the story. Would love a sequel of this or series based off of this story 10/10!!! Beautiful veteran Christmas tale.

    Love/Hate

    Just watched this film because I really enjoy Paul Green and Jill Wagner. For the most part the movie was entertaining, although some of the scenes seemed repetitious.

    I found myself distracted by the visible change in Jill Wagners appearance since I last saw her in "Christmas In Evergreen" in 2018. Every feature on her face was altered and I can't imagine that in the last 6 years her looks went downhill requiring such extreme modifications. She was striking before but now she looks like a cookie-cutter version of all the other women who won't let themselves age gracefully. She has lost her appeal....

    Paul Greene Bringing Christmas Home

    Loved Bringing Christmas Home with Paul Greene and Jill Wagner! The chemistry was phenomenal between Paul and Jill, The storyline (military) was so, so good! It had all the feels from the beginning to the very end. It literally draws you into the movie and gives you all the emotional feels of wonderful storytelling and beautifully acted from the entire cast. I am a huge fan of Paul Greene and he seems to elevate his acting with every new project he is in! There really is something very special about Paul Greene! The actor, the musician and the human being. This movie is a great addition to the Holiday season.

    Bringing Christmas Home: A Heartfelt Journey Through Time and Love

    Bringing Christmas Home" is a heartwarming holiday film that beautifully intertwines history, love, and the true spirit of Christmas. Starring Jill Wagner as Caroline Upton and Paul Greene as Russell Carlisle, the film takes us on an emotional journey in search of the past, ultimately illuminating the present.

    The story centers around Caroline, a retired military officer turned history professor, who teams up with Russell, an antiques store owner, to unravel the mysteries surrounding WWII Army officer Orin Newton. Their mission is to reunite precious artifacts - Orin's dress uniform, medals, and a trove of heartfelt love letters - with his long-lost family before Christmas.

    Jill Wagner delivers a touching performance as Caroline, exuding a perfect blend of strength and empathy. Her portrayal of a dedicated historian with a soft spot for lost stories is both relatable and endearing. Paul Greene complements her character brilliantly, bringing a warm and charismatic presence to Russell. The chemistry between the two leads is palpable, adding a genuine depth to the narrative.

    The film's unique premise, focused on the search for Orin Newton and the unraveling of his love story with Alice, sets it apart from typical holiday fare. The incorporation of historical elements, such as epaulettes and insignia, adds depth and intrigue to the storyline.

    As Caroline and Russell delve into Orin's love letters, the film masterfully weaves between past and present, revealing a tale of hope, sacrifice, and enduring love. The cinematography captures the essence of two eras, seamlessly transitioning between WWII and contemporary times.

    The film's genuine emotion and well-drawn characters make it a standout. The climax is both heartwarming and bittersweet, leaving the audience with a profound appreciation for the power of love and remembrance.

    "Bringing Christmas Home" is a touching reminder that the greatest gifts we can give are those that honor the past, connect us in the present, and inspire hope for the future. With stellar performances and a heartfelt narrative, this movie is a must-watch for those seeking a meaningful holiday experience.

    Bad Wig Was Distracting

    One of the better Christmas movies produced by GAC. But, Jill Wagner should have been the highlight of the movie.

    Her appearance and performance were less than we've come to expect from her. I understand Wagner had to cut almost all of her lovely blonde hair off, for another job she was filming around the time she made this, but that auburn colored wig was just awful.

    Maybe it was because it was so different from the blonde hair we have come to associate with Wagner.

    They could have tried harder to make it look real, by at least attempting to match her natural hair color.

    Past the appearance of one of the main characters, I actually enjoyed the movie. I just wish GAC & Hallmark would either try harder to make military themed movies look real, or not try so hard to dumb the topic & dialogue down for the viewers.
