I Have Reviewed OVER 500 "Christmas Films and Specials". Please BEWARE Of films and specials with just one review! For instance When "It's a POSITIVE" chances are that the reviewer was involved with the production. "If its Negative" then they may have a grudge against the film for whatever reason. I am fare about these films.
A woman's relationship with a former Olympian is tested during the holiday season when her beau's ex attempts to feign a rekindled romance with him in order to fuel the sales of her relationship-advice book.
It was hard for me to watch this film because I kept thinking Marcus Rosner looks like one of Donald Trumps sons or Adam Scott. The film however suffers because the writing is very inconsistent. Characters are not consistent and at times you are left scratching your head.

I watched this movie with my teen daughter. We watch about a dozen Christmas movies every year, and this one was bad enough to finally write a review. The premise was good so we kept watching with hope that it would get better. It didn't.
There were a number of plot gaps, script or Director shortcuts, and poor production in my opinion. This movie had such potential, but neither the Canadian name A Christmas Hero or international name Firehouse Christmas really made sense to the story.
The movie was predictable and had a decent cast, but the Director, writers and production crew had the movie bouncing all over the place and it almost seemed like the actors were having a hard time following the story-line themselves. Had they not cut so many corners in the script, this movie could have easily been a 7.5. Instead its barely a 5, and definitely a never watch again.

Weak characters, profoundly dumb and weaker Tom. Overacting, unrealistic and terrible script.
Just a flop however you see it.
What a pity, as there could have been a decent and happy Christmas story. This was just dumb and silly. Directors should head for the nearest cliff....

What a horrible Christmas movie. In the end all the characters realized they've been massive arseholes. But the viewers had to suffer through all their awfulness for two hours to get there. This is a four alarm alert - stay away, stay far away from this movie. Minus a further half star for gratuitous Neil Lane and Kay Jewelers product placement. HORRIBLE!
As the movie wore on, it became more and more silly and unbelievable. There are better ways to spend 2 hours. Too bad because some of the actors are good.
