Une histoire éternelle pour Noël

This was good for 1 hour 45 min. Then it morphed into the strangest ending I've ever seen in a Christmas movie. Steve Lund was wasted in this. Love Erin Cahill but this wasn't for me. For a better moving on story, watch Christmas Homecoming instead.

Seriously, the character played by Erin Cahill just wasn't rootable at all and exhibited no character growth whatsoever throughout the movie. She started and ended the movie in the exact same place emotionally. This seems to be an ongoing pattern at Hallmark since new leadership came in. They seem to think viewers want shock value instead of predictability and usual tropes. The reason the network is successful is because people watch for predictability and tropes.

I really wanted to like this movie. Erin Cahill and Steve Lund were good, but the script was awful. The attention to military detail was lacking. Was Colby a Major or a Captain? The General was not even aware of the most important detail. How he didn't know one of his men was alive was beyond me. I felt so bad for Pierce. He loved her and her daughter so much. The flashback scenes were probably the best part of the movie. The ending happened so quickly and was not believable at all. How you wrap up a movie in the last five minutes is just silly. Will not be rewatching this. I gave it 3 stars for just Erin and Steve.

This movie had potential until 1 hour 15 minutes into it, with The acting was good, but the characters lacked depth. The first half of the movie had a story line and kept viewers interested, while the second half was dragging and felt that it was simply a filler to complete 120 minutes.

The incredible and ridiculous ending was so unbelievable that I consider this a loss of 2 hours of my life, which I will never get back. The last 5 minutes doesn't complete this movie and attempts to explain everything,without any logic or credibility. All it does is to make the viewers frustrated and disappointed.

One of the worst movies ever made. I understand that anything is possible in movies but this is unbelievably impossible. The military is apparently inept, unable to determine if a soldier has perished or not. An incredible slap in the face of Gold Star Families.

I feel sorry for Erin Cahill and Steve Lund. Their names will be forever linked to literally one of the worst Hallmark movies.

I found it difficult to watch, the movie never found a groove. I contemplated switching to GAC after the first 30 minutes but I figured it would come around. Wrong.

I probably would've enjoyed washing the dog or cleaning the refrigerator more.

The storyline is noble, about a solder lost and a family trying to move on. But the characters and actual family story were lame. As someone else commented a total waste of Steven Lund's talent. Erin had somewhat of a good role but even that was dull. Lund had a role with more meaningful dialogue and excellent character development when he played the brother of Charlie in just one episode of the Hudson and Rex TV series than this two hour Hallmark movie. This is not the first Christmas movie of this year that has sorely missing the mark. Hope they improve over the next two months. Hallmark vs GAC seems to be watering down quality to the detriment of the actors.
