Movie #1461 ........................"Christmas Homecoming"
Movie #1461 "Christmas Homecoming" --- I ended up watching this in parts a couple of times --- it seemed to be on a lot --- I thought it was slow, methodical, and lacked a clear focus, and I think I'm right, but it could be because I saw it in pieces. It was just that the pieces came across that way --- I kept thinking I was missing something, so I'd watch scenes over again if it happened to be on the t.v. Well, last night I watched the majority of it, and I still haven't changed my mind. I'd give it 3.5 out of 5 because there seemed to be very little chemistry in the couple (the guy came across pretty much as cold) and the story meandered --- the pacing was extremely slow. But I did enjoy the ending when I finally got to see it. It seems they are tacking on denouements (one year later) to the films, and most of the times it seems to work, but others not so much, but this one seemed to work for me. I guess I was happy it ended well for this poor war widow who falls in love with another soldier who is going off to afghanistan again. It takes a huge amount of bravery to do that, for sure, and I think that was the point of the film.
