Once in a while, a movie comes along that reminds us how powerful love can be. In the midst of war in Afghanistan, Captain Cody Cullen (John Newton, "Desperate Housewives") is touched by lovely card sent by Faith Spelman (Alice Evans, "The Chris Isaak Show") from the small picturesque town of Nevada City, California. As months pass, the card never leaves his side, giving him the strength to survive and setting him on a mission to find her. The Christmas Card has received massive critical acclaim and audiences are raving. Now for the first time on DVD, Emmy-nominated (TBD) The Christmas Card is available with great bonus features and is the perfect gift for this holiday season!

A CHRISTMAS MOVIE WITH HEART , December, 03, 2008

THE CHRISTMAS CARD IS A BEAUTIFUL MOVIE. I HAVE BEEN IN NEVADA CITY MANY TIMES AND IT REALLY IS VERY QUAINT AND THE SETTING IS VERY BEAUTIFUL. SOME OF THE SCENES THAT YOU SEE IN THE MOVIE ARE NOT PART OF THE NEVADA CITY LANDSCAPE AND IT RARELY SNOWS THERE BUT IT DOES HAPPEN OCCASIONALLY. A GREAT STORY ABOUT A WOMAN WHO WRITES CHRISTMAS CARDS TO THE TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN AND IT ENDS UP IN THE HANDS OF A SOLDIER THAT IS ALONE. HE MAKES A TRIP TO NEVADA CITY AND MEETS THE WOMAN. YOU KNOW HOW IT WILL TURN OUT BUT THE PATH GETTING THERE IS A JOY TO WATCH. I RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE TO EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN LOVE AND THE MIRACLE OF CHRISTMAS. THIS IS A MOVIE WITH HEART!

A Christmas movie to enjoy ALL YEAR AROUND , November, 25, 2008

The Christmas Card is one of the best movies to watch as you cozy up on the couch with your favorite hot beverage!! It is a very clean, "feel-good" movie. I borrow my sister's copy of this movie all the time, and I anticipate purchasing my very own DVD in the near future.

This film is very "Christmasey" and very spiritual. The Spelman Family is a Christian family. They are faithful, active members at their church in Nevada City. The scenery throughout the movie is beautiful!!! This movie exemplifies the importance of family-being a family and working together as a family. There are occasional funny moments as well, with Faith Spelman's hilarious Uncle Richard!! This movie also displays the importance of FAITH, which is the main character's name, and how genuine acts of kindness can be very rewarding in ways you least expect.

However, I do think that the ending could have been lengthened a bit. Although I wasn't too pleased with the ending, it does NOT discourage me from watching the film.

I hope my feedback is helpful!

Happy Thanksgiving 2008!
