Le message de Noël

The movie is based on the book written by Donna VanLiere. She was the lady that wrote "The Christmas Shoes" (2003). No wonder why the movie was a good one.

This is not the typical guy meets girl romance which was nice. We have some mystery and a bit of a surprise ending that I originally thought might occur, but then dismissed it. So I was surprised. The two female leads were very good and there really wasn't any dull spots in the movie. The boy was great.

Some of the reviews say the film takes place in Wilsonville, Vermont when there is no such town. There is a Wilsonville, Oregon with a population of the same as shown in the sign shown in the movie (which probably isn't an actual sign). The mom is played by the same actress who played the mother Mrs Thatcher on "When calls the Heart".

I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 400 Christmas MOVIES.

BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I AM HONEST! I REVIEW Christmas MOVIES AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN!

Having just moved back to her hometown with her young son but without her serviceman husband, Gretchen Daniels (Jamie-Lynn Sigler) finds her life in disarray as Christmas approaches. She discovers new purpose when she helps to deliver a message to her neighbor, Melissa (Leah Gibson), which makes her an ally in a quest to find the neighbor's sibling she never knew she had.

Anybody over 12 can see how this film is going to end long before its However the actors do bring the best in a pedestrian story.

Worth watching.

Nevertheless, a very sweet story. Unlike most Hallmark movies, I didn't know where this movie was headed until towards the end. I wish more Hallmark movies were this original.

This one was better than I was expecting, and even a bit of mystery! It's a perfect heartwarming movie for Christmas in July! It's a little hard to believe, but what Hallmark Christmas movie isn't a little unrealistic?

This one had me crying 18 minutes into the movie. Women's husband is in the military and he's in a hospital overseas. She moves back home to be near her mother. She has a young son, maybe middle school years. She gets a message to tell the woman next-door that her mother has died, and that the woman needs to clear out her mother's things by Friday.

Turns out the woman next-door had a sibling. She didn't even know about. There begins the search.

Dillon Kingwell, as Ethan does an absolutely incredible job. He's summon to watch.

The mystery they're trying to solve is who is the sibling that was put up for adoption 28 years ago.

Really great writing good acting, the movie kept my interest the entire time

I'm usually a very good predictor of endings, but this one took me totally surprise!!
