This is a great movie with a great cast for what it is. I honestly did not expect it to be this good. It tells a great Christmas and a love story. It also contains a lot of beautiful scenery. This movie is absolutely adorable and gives you a sense of the Christmas spirit of giving back.
I try to rate/assess movies against other movies in the genre as opposed to comparing them to movies in general. So, how did this film compare to other Christmas romance films? It was...OK. I mean, it was a decent film, not the best I have seen nor the worst. It was a nice story, a caring story. And the script/dialogue was not bad. The acting was pretty good too. I am a fan of the Vampire Diaries and Vikings, the TV series that the two leads are known for. Kat Graham's performance was strong; she does a good job in such roles. Alexander Ludwig was not bad. To be honest, it was a bit strange seeing him in this genre of film after watching him for years in Vikings. But he did OK, though I am not sure this is the genre for him. The chemistry between them (the leads) was pretty good as well, which is important in a romance film. The supporting cast was strong. Fans of Battlestar Galactica will be happy (and maybe surprised) to see Aaron Douglas (as the Mayor) in the film. The scenery (filming location) was quite beautiful. I especially enjoyed the drop from the cargo plane at the end of the film. It was a nice scene. Overall, it was a decent film that Netflix has added to its original Christmas movie collection. Worth a watch if you want to get in the Christmas spirit.
Operation Christmas Drop is a 2020 American Christmas romantic comedy based on true events, starring Kat Graham and Alexander Ludwig as the main characters. So it's January a little late for a Christmas film but I wanted something that was a feel good film and it certainly was that. The storyline was really good it had comedy, romance, sadness and happiness in it. The film started off good and got even better as it went along with some lovely beautiful scenery in it. The acting was good from all the cast especially from Kat and Alexander, there played the characters really well and certainly had good chemistry and was very believable. I really enjoyed this film you don't get many good Christmas films these days but this one was great, it even bought a tear to my eye which don't normally happen. Not like your normal Christmas movies but still a really good light hearted film to watch. So if it's a winters day sit in front of the fire with snacks and enjoy this lovely beautiful romance movie you certainly won't be disappointed. Don't leave it to late it's currently streaming on Netflix right now get watching, surprisingly really good. 😊
It was good enough that I watched it all the way through.
Cute moments between characters.
Good background that the movie was based on. I just wish it spent more time on the people they were helping and less on the 2 main characters side story.
I really dug this movie for a myriad of reasons. The leads had great chemistry with each, the scenery of Guam was beyond gorgeous and it was something genuinely pleasant to watch. 2020 been stressful enough and sometimes you just want to enjoy a movie that doesn't require you to be invested. Hopefully, this draws more attention to the beautiful territory of Guam and it's people.

- TriviaAndrew's housing in the film is the real "sorting house" on Andersen Air Force Base, where Operation Christmas Drop volunteers sort and store donations each year.
- GoofsAndersen AFB is probably THE most strategic military base in the entire Pacific theater. It is a forward operating base for airlift, cargo, bomber, and fighter aircraft for all of the pacific area of operation and into the middle-east. It would be wildly unrealistic that it would ever be considered for closure under BRAC.
