Summary: A CHRISTMAS MOVIE WITH HEART
Comment: THE CHRISTMAS CARD IS A BEAUTIFUL MOVIE. I HAVE BEEN IN NEVADA CITY MANY TIMES AND IT REALLY IS VERY QUAINT AND THE SETTING IS VERY BEAUTIFUL. SOME OF THE SCENES THAT YOU SEE IN THE MOVIE ARE NOT PART OF THE NEVADA CITY LANDSCAPE AND IT RARELY SNOWS THERE BUT IT DOES HAPPEN OCCASIONALLY. A GREAT STORY ABOUT A WOMAN WHO WRITES CHRISTMAS CARDS TO THE TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN AND IT ENDS UP IN THE HANDS OF A SOLDIER THAT IS ALONE. HE MAKES A TRIP TO NEVADA CITY AND MEETS THE WOMAN. YOU KNOW HOW IT WILL TURN OUT BUT THE PATH GETTING THERE IS A JOY TO WATCH. I RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE TO EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN LOVE AND THE MIRACLE OF CHRISTMAS. THIS IS A MOVIE WITH HEART!

Summary: A Christmas movie to enjoy ALL YEAR AROUND
Comment: 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!

Summary: Almost perfect, but for Ed Asner
Comment: 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.

Summary: On My Favorite List of Chrismas Movies
Comment: 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!

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!
