Product ReviewsThe Christmas Card (DVD, 2007)

One of Hallmarks best!

This has been a classic in our house ever since we got it. No matter what the season it is a Great movie. It has been watched many many times.

The characters are acted exquisitely. It is a reminder of what is important in life.

The movie is staged in Nevada city. My girlfriend lived there and was so excited to see the town now. She let her tears flow without any effort to stop them when she saw the church.

Her dad, who is no longer living, was the pastor of the Nevada city Methodist Church for 7 years. She was so excited to see that the inside the church had not changed.

Thank-you Nevada City Methodist Church for giving my friend such a blessing.

From two ladies who love the movie!

We live in the village of Dillingham on the Western Coast of the Great State of Alaska!

Good and hard to find DVD for this price.

The shipping was good and the disc seems pretty good except that it blanked out a couple of times and was in need of cleaning. It still works ok with those exception.

Enjoyable, laughable and tugs at the heart strings. You'll love the warm and caring message to follow your heart.

I first watched this movie on Netflix - and LOVED it!
The following Christmas I tried to watch it once again, only to find that it had been removed from the play list. I was fortunate enough that year to find a DVD to borrow. This year, I decided that I loved the movie enough to buy it and I haven't regretted it since!
The movie touches my heart strings since I am an Army mom. As in the movie - true to life - every year Christmas cards and goodie boxes were prepared and shipped to soldiers serving over seas. Some of the soldiers I knew and others I did not...I just knew that they needed all the support that I could give them. So many soldiers deployed are totally alone without a loving support system from home.
I found this movie actually to be very true to life, with events and extraordinary characters. There are real families like this one - living, loving, watching out for each other and can laugh together :)Read full review...

Highly Recommended Christmas Movie

A very well written Christmas/love story. All the characters were superb in their performances. My sister-in-law can't get enough of it. She has watched it a countless number of times and claims it is the best movie in the Hallmark Christmas series.Read full review...

From the Middle East to the Far West

This DVD was purchased at the request of my wife, shortly after it was on the Hallmark Channel (one of several times), if I remember correctly. Apparently she wants to be able to watch something else every time this is on next Christmas, and then watch this later. Seriously, this is a sweet little romantic Christmas story, where the boy and girl fall for each other at first sight, but the girl is already involved with the ultimate preppie, a globe-trotting wine dealer, despite her being a Westerner whose father owns a family sawmill. (How would she have met that guy in the first place?) The hero is searching for himself, and of course he gets the girl at the end. She's cute, he's the Gary Cooper war-hero type. The goofy uncle is the goofy uncle from all family Christmas movies. Lois Nettleton is the mom, trying to keep everybody on the right track, and it's nice to see her again. Ed Asner plays the all-knowing father, and apparently he's so cold (temperature, not personality) that his acting is stiff, at least outside, but it does warm up indoors. (Sorry, couldn't resist that, but you knew it was coming, didn't you?) It's a nice way to spend some time while you wrap presents, and nobody claims to be related to Santa. Or watch it in July for a reminder (or preview) of the Christmas spirit.Read full review...

A Veteran;s Christas Romance

Joany Kane writes enjoyable films. This is a tribute to veteran's with positive energy towards honoring those who serve. Uncle Richard steals the film and you'll see him in other roles, but always remember him as Uncle Richard. Joany Kane has written other good films, they aren't always top production or filled with great actors, but her writing really makes them fun to watch.Read full review...

LOVE LOVE LOVE this Movie!

It was captivating by being realistic. Christmas is used in the title and backdrop of this movie but I found we were drawn in so easily to the town, actors (super) and plot beyond the holiday. It had a really great ending. (I cried) Admirable portrayals to our soldiers in Vietnam and Afghanistan. We watched it as a family including teens to Grandparents who asked to watch again the next day! I have watched it 4 times. Hallmark should bring back the actors in a sequel or even another different movie. Yes, Ed Asner will be missed. He played a very different role here. Great to see the actors comments at the end about their roles. Don’t miss this one!! Grab your popcorn and hot chocolate. Or chicken salad club on rye with curly fries extra crispy and hot chocolate with small marshmallows like in the movie. This movie is a “10”Read full review...

The title describes how an attraction began - probably your average title.

The movie deals with a man who is engaged to a woman, he really has a secret agenda that she suspects and finally realises is true. Her heart belongs to another man that is more open and honest.

It is important that deception is discovered, but is nearly to late for her to begin a new life her true love.
Many movies use this theme to success. Producers did a great job with this movie.Read full review...

Wonderful for Christmas or any time of the year

Love this movie. It's now become a Christmas movie must for our family. Ed Asner and the cast were excellent. Just the right amount of "Asner-esque" humor while focusing on important issues, our veterans, life, love, meaningful work and family.Read full review...

Very emotional, with a good mix of humor.

One of Hallmark's best, the content is excellent with characters who truly fit the part. And it's very entertaining with Edward Asner's humorous comments. This one is absolutely a classic in my book!Read full review...
