    Beautiful location, not a great script.

    An interesting topic but the script is weak. Sara Canning was miscast, she overacts. Daniel Lissing is good, believable as a county ranger. The rest of the cast are ok. The story got dumb towards the end. Nice location.

    Relationship Focused. My Favorite.

    My astronomy-loving husband and I both LOVED this movie. It focused on the relationship between the characters and not just a superficial "romance." It also showed realistic problem-solving involving the differences in the characters lives. My favorite 2021 GAC Christmas movie!

    Worth Watching--But Decide For Yourself if You Like It!

    Most of the reviews here are not helpful. Some of the reviewers don't even know what network produced the film, so how attentive were they? In my opinion this was a decent movie, with two good leading actors. I really like Sara Canning, and will watch anything she stars in. I also like Daniel Lissing, but I confess he was not as good in this one as in, say, A December Bride.

    Sure, the plot of this movie could have been better. People have pointed out the technical errors, but these are common in romance movies. Depending on one's vocation or avocation, it is likely someone will spot mistakes in the technical aspects of films like this. But do you really watch romance movies for the technical expertise? I suspect not, and if someone is complaining about that, they are likely just bragging about how much they know about a given subject.

    A good romance movie needs two likeable stars, an engaging story, co-stars that are not too irritating, and a happy ending.

    A Perfect Christmas Movie for the whole Family.

    GAC Family has put out once again a wonderful Christmas Movie called A Christmas Star. The two stars that were in the movie are Daniel Lissing from When Calls The Heart and Sara Canning from the Vampire Diaries. The Director of the movie is Jessica Harmon. She did such a phenomenal job at directing , picking the location to shoot. Well done Jessica and also picking the BEST actors to star in it.

    A Christmas Star is one of Daniel Lissing's best Christmas Movie he has ever done in his career. Sine he movies to GAC Family Network I think his career has skyrocketed. This is the best move that Dan could have ever done. He was o phenomenonal on When Calls the Heart as Jack Thornton, but this by far is the BEST movie and Character he has ever played. He shows the soft side of him and it shows how diverse Dan is. He can play any character good or bad and he makes you love that character. Thank you Dan.

    I absolutely love this movie and recommend it to families to watch and get to know Dan. Well done well done.

    Sara Canning as Madeline wow this was her BEST work she has ever done in my book. Sara showed us that you can find love in the right place at the right time as Madeline. Sara has a diverse career. I mean she can play any character and you love that character. Sara played on the vampire diaries, Kevel 16, the right kind of wrong etc..

    Dan and Sara the BEST work I have seen you do. Thank you.

    I recommend you watching the movie.

    Good cast, weak script

    The writers could have made this a better story with better word-smithing. The chemistry between the 2 main characters is also a bit weak. No believable spark.
