Great Christmas movie!:
This is just a nice holiday themed romance, that is great any time of year. It's not sappy, but just a light hearted romance. Very good movie if you like holiday movies or romance movies.
sappy and crappy:
This Christmas I DVR'd THE CHRISTMAS CARD and BOYFRIEND FOR CHRISTMAS based on amazon recommendations. I have learned my lesson! I guess there are a lot of people here who are into sappy movies, but this is just bad. The acting is terrible and the story is silly. I did get through it, but ill not be wasting time on movies like this (lifetime movie of the week) ever again. If you want a cute, sappy, well-acted movie try Christmas in Connecticut or some other classic!
Doesn't work:
My review is not on the movie itself but the fact that the movie does not work in a machine that is both DVD as well as VCR. The movie pauses through out the entire thing. The movie will only work in a DVD player only. I have found this to be true with any movie I order online.
One of my favorite holiday movies!:
This is one of my favorite holiday movies. It's not a classic, but it is definitely a cheerful, enjoyable movie. It's one of my "Must See's" during the holiday season!
