More poignant than the usual Hallmark Christmas movie

A young woman (Aimee Teegarden) needs a liver transplant. Along comes an ex marine (Brett Dalton from Shield) who altruistically decides to donate to her. Is it just gratitude or is it love?

It's a nice change of pace from the usual Hallmark fluff. If it was a feature film there wouldn't be a happy ending. So it's nice this organ transplant theme has a Hallmark treatment.

His saintliness is pure Hallmark but surprisingly not implausible in the context.

If you choose one Christmas movie at least this is a little different.

This is a great heart warming movie

I loved everything about this movie. Every Marine I have ever met is so selfless, as was mine. He let duke University take core samples of muscle tissue from all over his body to study the effects of heart disease on muscle tissue.. I asked him why he put himself thru these test. He said that he knew it would not save him but it may someday save our girls. So Mr. Dempsy semper fidelis I am so glad god put you in heather's path and good luck in all your life choices.

A True story perfectly captured

Certainly one for having a tissue handy ! A lovely warming film based on a true story. Aimee Teegarden played the anxious and insecure girl in need of a transplant operation perfectly. Her smile lit up the screen and Brett Dalton was a good choice as the guy who was the perfect match . One of the best !

Best Hallmark I have ever seen.

WOW!!! This is not a cookie cutter Hallmark movie. It is based on the real lives of Heather and Chris Dempsey. A very engaging film which shows how an organ donation by Chris turns into a love story. Aimee Teegarden is a natural in this movie. Her performance is moving. Get out your Kleenex at the 12 minute mark through the rest of the movie, especially when the doctors (their voices become distant) tell Heather of her liver disease.

Best of the Season

By far the best Hallmark Christmas movie of the decade. Fantastic characters and actors who portray them. Great story. Heart warming. Asks so many questions of yourself as a viewer and those questions are consistent with the questions the characters were asking themselves. I have already watched it multiple times and I will watch it again.

Trivia
The real Chris and Heather can be seen dancing during the fundraiser scene. Just after the scene with main characters having their photos made, the character of Chris is walking toward Heather and you see a couple that he passes. The real life Chris has a shaved head wearing a blue shirt. Heather is blonde wearing a burgundy dress.

Goofs
While Heather and Chris are shopping in a Christmas store, Heather picks up a stuffed dachshund that's wearing a funny Christmas cap. As the cameras and angles change, sometimes the dog's cap is curved down and sometimes the cap is bent and pointing up.
