This movie wants to come off as a Christmas Romance movie, but it never really gives time to develop the two main characters "relationship", until the very end with a stereotypical kiss ending which feels weird because to the audience the two main characters just feel like new friends instead of love interests. It seems to develop a good friendship between an Air Force Captain and a Congress Aid/Assistant. Together they spread the Christmas spirit and generosity with the help of the service men and woman of the American Air Force. The movie is slow and predictable and feels like it wants to be a lifetime movie or a Christian movie. The "lovers plot" is uninteresting.
A run of the mill Romantic comedy that isn't original, but ticks most of the boxes, the acting was okay but the scenery was amazing. It is a Christmas movie, so you don't need to be Einstein to figure out the ending, but it gives you that warm glow you need. Nice movie to pass the time.
As a romantic comedy, this movie is middling... but as a story of members of the Armed Forces finding ways to help others when they themselves are far from home on the holidays - a story that happens to be true - this story is hard to beat.
This is my first Christmas movie of the 2020 holiday season and what a great way to kick the festivities off.
It wasn't as corny/sappy as the usual Hallmark/Lifetime Christmas movies tend to be (which I love) but instead had a slightly more realistic feel to it. I didn't feel amazing heat between Eri and Klaws and I believe that was intentional because the primary focus was the Christmas drop. I could have used a little more spice between them but overall the movie was solid and predictable.
I am giving it a 6.5 on my Lifetime/Hallmark/Holiday movie scale.

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.
- Crazy creditsReal-life photos of the operation are shown during the end credits.
