Description
Once in a while, a movie comes along that reminds us how powerful love can be. In the midst of war in Afghanistan, Captain Cody Cullen (John Newton, "Desperate Housewives") is touched by lovely card sent by Faith Spelman (Alice Evans, "The Chris Isaak Show") from the small picturesque town of Nevada City, California. As months pass, the card never leaves his side, giving him the strength to survive and setting him on a mission to find her. The Christmas Card has received massive critical acclaim and audiences are raving. Now for the first time on DVD, Emmy-nominated (TBD) The Christmas Card is available with great bonus features and is the perfect gift for this holiday season!

This is one of the best Hallmark movies I have seen. It is very good and highly entertaining. Even my husband enjoyed it!

The Christmas Card
An energetic young woman named Faith devouts time to writing to encourage the troops overseas. Cody Cullen receives one of her cards, which keeps him going despite the tragedy he experiences serving in the military. When he is given the opportunity, he goes in search of the woman, Faith, whose words kept his spirit strong during the war. He meets Faith and her family and through a series of events, stays in their home to work at the family business for a few weeks. He quickly falls in love with the vivacious Faith, who becomes engaged to her long time boyfriend, Paul.
While the storyline was engaging and sweet, there were several suggestive and impure scenes, that may give offense. Cody stays in the home of Faith’s family, and she shows him to his bedroom. There is a quick scene of Paul and Faith passionately kissing alone in the family home & they dance in a sensual manner in another scene. Playing football, Faith tackles Cody and ends up on top of him with other family members piled on top of her. Faith lies on top of Cody after falling in the woods and kisses him–highly suggestive. Faith father makes a suggestive comment to her mother. The jeans worn by various characters thorought the movie were very tight.
Except for the scene in the woods, Cody acts like a gentleman; while Paul is a selfish, lusty man.
Not recommended as a family friendly movie.

The Christmas Card
This ‘movie’ is a TV movie that romanticises war and ‘Christian values’. I could not finish it. Very sappy lines and acting. For example, Jones shows Cody a picture of his girlfriend, and later when Cody meets the girlfriend she has on the same sweater as in the picture! Did they think that we wouldn’t recognize her? I would give it zero stars. Koolaid for those who have already had too much.

This is very lifeless and boring movie, as are the three “younger” lead “actors”. The whole cast is too old for the age they are supposed to be playing. The beautiful scenery can’t make up for the fact that the storyline is not fleshed out, and neither are the characters. If you want to purchase a fine Hallmark movie, I would recommend “Pictures of Hollis Woods” instead.

I purchased this movie from Amazon based on its good ratings from other viewers. It was terrible! The acting was appalling, including the handsome soldier who I very much wanted to connect with. The story was too syrupy for me, and completely predictable. There are much better Christmas movies out there, including “The Family Stone”.
