Review of The Christmas Card (2006) by Sums I — 17 Dec 2011
Yes, sweet, cute, romantic... but just not up to par. I guess if you're okay with the Hallmark Channel level of films you'll find this one enjoyable. I found it eye-rolling more than a few times with its obviousness and surface level romance.
Edward Asner does ground it somewhat with a fairly good father figure, but the main love interest is not given enough screen time to show WHY she would be worth fighting over. It's all got a feeling of being "summarized" instead of unfolding naturally.
.. and the constant music bed adds to that mood. It is what it is, though... and I did like Cody Cullen.
