The Christmas Card

Its a Fantastic movie ..except you can't buy it in Closed Captioned I'm deaf the only way I can watch it is on TV and I like watching that one Alot ... its one of my favorites .. but I can't watch it with out captioning .... its one of those movies that makes you feel good at the end ....

The Christmas Card is one of the best movies to watch as you cozy up on the couch with your favorite hot beverage!! It is a very clean, "feel-good" movie. I borrow my sister's copy of this movie all the time, and I anticipate purchasing my very own DVD in the near future.

This film is very "Christmasey" and very spiritual. The Spelman Family is a Christian family. They are faithful, active members at their church in Nevada City. The scenery throughout the movie is beautiful!!! This movie exemplifies the importance of family-being a family and working together as a family. There are occasional funny moments as well, with Faith Spelman's hilarious Uncle Richard!! This movie also displays the importance of FAITH, which is the main character's name, and how genuine acts of kindness can be very rewarding in ways you least expect.

However, I do think that the ending could have been lengthened a bit. Although I wasn't too pleased with the ending, it does NOT discourage me from watching the film.

I hope my feedback is helpful!

Happy Thanksgiving 2008!

This is a great Christmas movie, with beautiful scenery, and a heart-warming story. Great actors, except for the inclusion of Ed Asner, a man who hates America and hates the military. It is sickening to see him portrayed as a patriotic WWII vet in this film. Otherwise, it is a very good family film.

This is one of the best Christmas Movies released in a long time. A soldier with literally no one to return home to received a Christmas Card that he treasured. Upon his release from the service he is compelled to find out who this person is. Unfortunately he finds that this person is engaged however he was asked by their family to assist at the family business and slowly becomes a part of their lives. The family has no idea that he received a card from their daughter however come to love him very much. Watch this movie - better yet purchse the movie because the cool thing is they include a Christmas Card (seriously) that you can write in and that will be sent to a U.S. Troop and who knows can make a difference to someones life. Happy Holidays!

I absolutely loved this movie -- so much that I keep watching it over and over. I think the acting is great, and it is warm-hearted and soul-stirring. Makes me think alot about our military overseas also and pray for them and know that the little things we do for them mean alot. I can't imagine anyone not liking this movie...it's a keeper!
