Das Weihnachtsherz - Das Geschenk meines Lebens

If you want something to send you to sleep then this slow moving piece of drivel will be right up your street. The story involves a teenage boy that is outwardly fit and healthy but who falls ill with a dickey ticker during a boring game of basketball.

From the moment that the boy lies unconscious in hospital there's loads of wailing, gnashing of teeth, over-acting and under-acting until some ne'er do well type ends up dead. By this time I was almost willing to kill myself and offer my old pump to help revive the tiring storyline but luckily I wasn't needed.

Of course, this all happens at Christmas although that doesn't matter. There's far too much praying to god as well with the characters seemingly oblivious to the fact that, in their world, all this suffering is surely part of the lord's design. Is this one of those Christian backed movies? Pathetic. Don't waste your time.

This is not your typical Hallmark Christmas movie (although I am a fan of Hallmark) I really enjoyed it. The storyline and the script are very good following 2 different 'life' stories before converging. The performances all around fantastic. I'm a big fan of Teri Polo (mother of the boy who needs the heart) and Tess Harper and they didn't disappoint. The topic of organ donations is a highlight and was handled extremely well. We hear from all sides - the donor's mother, the 15 year old boy who will die without receiving a new heart and the medical professionals. This movie is worth a watch. Well done Hallmark.

The Christmas Heart is a little different story. The Pilot made this movie in my opinion although all involved were good. Loved the story on this one. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 12/21/2020

I loved watching this film. It's not the biggest film with a never ending budget and lots of special effects, but it does tell story and carries a really important message and it does it very well. It shows the power of compassion, co- operation, determination & community, but also shows that we all have the ability to make a difference if you are committed enough. If you watch this film and you finish it not having thought about what you should be thankful for and/or you don't feel even slightly uplifted, you are either cold hearted or have missed the point of the film. Don't read between the lines & try to over think it, just watch it & let yourself go along with the story line.

Greatest Christmas movie ever!! Wonderful story for the whole family! Wish I would have discovered this sooner! Such a refreshing change from all the holiday romances. The way they developed the story was excellent. A movie about faith brings hope to people😊
