Professional Review:
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!

   Summary: Well worth a watch if you support our soldiers
I adore the premise and storyline to this movie and have watched it since it came out two years ago, however I have to admit John Newton is my guilty pleasure in it....he's too adorable!

Still to be perfectly honest though, even though the story line is wonderul someone as fond of military folk as myself, I just didn't feel that there was any honest chemistry between the two main actors, though their flirtations were cutely played out.

I taped it for posterity though!

   Summary: Wow!
I was completely embarrassed to find myself watching this movie. The acting was so bad - everything about it felt so fake. I love Hallmark & Hallmark style movies but this was just so ... bad!

   Summary: "The Christmas Card" by grandma.0812
As in other fine Levinson-Halmi productions, there is one scene which is beautifully sensual without being overtly sexual. It will take the breath away from any romantic out there watching "Where The Magic Begins." WOW!

From the very first accidental coincidence all the way to the highly anticipated conclusion, the story runs smoothly. All the "coincidences" fall into pace quite naturally and none seems contrived or fake. This is an excellent vehicle for Ed Asner in his older years. Although he isn't the star of the movie, Asner plays Luke Spelman, the pivotal character around whom the plot revolves. He leads it well. Peter Jason is great as Richard, and Lois Nettleton is Rosie Spelman, the rather "ditsy-pollyanna-ish" wife the role calls for. Ben Weber as Paul is self-absorbed and egotistic, but he is not shallow. He is merely a product of his own environment. With his first appearance, it is obvious that he will never fit into the atmosphere where his fiance, Faith Spelman, dwells. Faith herself must eventually realize that fact and change the courses of several lives. Alice Evans is Faith, a woman with her head in the right place and her heart to soon follow.

It is John Newton as Sgt. Cody Cullen, recently of Afghanistan and on R & R Leave, who steals the show, and rightly so. Only watching this movie several times (and you will !) can enable the viewer to absorb the nuances and subtleties of the script's plot development.

It is a perfect date-flick. John Newton as Cody Cullen is a man's man -- and a woman's dream.
Romantics of the world -- enjoy!!
