A Christmas Hero

Started interestingly, and I could believe Welch as the repressed guy at the start, but I couldn't buy into his rages (I kept imagining the director offstage saying "Emote, darling, emote!). It was good as an advert for the air museum (which I googled while the movie was on), and if I'm ever back in Michigan (near Kalamazoo) I'll visit.

This is mostly just someone's home made love letter to some airplane museum in their home town. They clearly just hired two people to be the main actors and the rest are the actual workers and guests. The main plot doesn't even come into play till about half way through, and the whole thing is shot on shaky cam because they have no tripods or steady cam.

It's essentially a long tourism ad for this museum nobody has ever heard of or will ever go to. The movie has a $0 budget but also no heart of effort behind it either. It barely qualifies as a movie and is honestly pretty insulting to veterans.

And it being Xmas has nothing to do with anything! You could have set this in literally any time of year and it would still be the same piece of unwatchable garbage it is now...

This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. If I'd been in a theater I would have walked out 10 mins in. The acting was stilted, clearly not actors, but maybe a bunch of drama club members who thought it was a good idea to make a video mashup of A Christmas Carol, It's A Wonderful Life, and other really good Christmas movies with a nod to vets reintegrating into society. They should have done their homework. What a mess they made! If I were a vet I'd be offended at this futile attempt at...whatever this was. I'm only sorry I wasted as much time on it as I did.

A Christmas carol / a wonderful life/ saving private ryan ... all great movies sewn together to make this messy low budget disaster... I appreciate our vets but they deserve better than this plane wreck!

It pays to read info. The fact that many id The across were former veterans make sense that it wasn't polished. Some of the acting was a little clunky, It was apparent lead, which plays Nick is a more experienced actor. It was sort of a take on A Christmas Carol or It's A Wonderful Life. The message was appreciated.
