Journey Back to Christmas

I said this regarding a competitor's (UPtv) movie "a christmas movie Christmas" that mocked the redundant remigined Santa, parttime matchmaker /magic at christmas/romance at christmas, etc, themes that commonly flood the harlequin channel, excuse me, hallmark channel line up :-). Seldom do they ever even mention, even in passing, the true meaning of Christmas. To score seven (the perfect score on my scale) It has to be a lot better than the worn out cliché movies they turn out at a rate of a dozen a week in December. This movie, for the Hallmark channel scored, the same as its competitor's brilliant twist on the cliche romance at Christmas theme referenced above. It has time travel it, has elements of it's a wonderful life, it has a positive message, and yes real Christmas carols, not the Seccular "let's celebrate winter" tropes. I've seen a lot of reviews of modern Christmas movies where the slightest hint of a religious theme is criticized Bitterly by other reviewers. For those who take the religious aspect of Christmas seriously a movie like this is more a step in the right direction. Good job Hallmark. Please give more equal time to those who recognize the religious reason as the reason for the season, then i might not be so hard on the "dessert" christmas entertainment.

The allure of this movie undeniably magnetic. Time travel has long been an intriguing topic for anyone with an imagination. Candace Cameron Bure's portrayal of an intelligent, sensitive, kind WWII Nurse, who, with the help of a miraculous comet, is sent to the future, only to find that her seemingly mundane acts of kindness during her lifetime in the 1940s, were not so ordinary, as they led others to heartfelt, inspiring gifts.

A different Christmas story for a change! This is an interesting and original story about a 1945 woman is transported in time to 2016.

It's entertaining enough to keep one interested. The contrast between the values and traditions is cute and provides some cute insights. Nice link between the past and present with Tom Skerrit.

Candace Cameron Bure handles the role well. It could have been daft if not handled well.

First, Candace Cameron Bure makes just miracles with her character. Second, it is not exactly, for so many reasons, a Halmark film. Or, more exactly, it is far to be the expeted film. Three - it reminds Operation Philadelphia in fine way. And it is just charming, giving the chance to Oliver Hudson and Tom Skeritt to do their the best. So, just special.

This is a movie classic that you will want to watch every year over and over again.

A young nurse, Hanna (Candace Cameron Bure), lost her husband in WWII and gets caught in a storm at the same time a famous comet passes by overhead. She goes into a barn and bumps her head and passes out. Next, she awakens and finds herself in 2016.

She finds herself in her town which has totally changed and is picked up by the local police, Jake (Oliver Hudson) and Sarah (Brooke Nevin). Jake finds her story unbelievable but also finds evidence that she may actually have lived in 1945. Sarah is much more skeptical and thinks she is a con. Jake takes her home and she meets his family.

Hanna is initially upset at being in unfamiliar territory, but eventually becomes resigned. She has memories of what the town used to look like and traditions which occurred, which have been lost. It's fascinating how she points out clothes and dishes like the ones she knew in 1945.

And you'll have to watch it to see what happens.

This is a great movie about traditions that have been lost and found again. Heartwarming with excellent cast. Add this to your Must See list of Holiday movies.
