I liked this movie overall. The story was very interesting and the lead actors had lots of chemistry. There was a deep feeling of sincere affection among all the characters. My main issue with the movie were the scenes that occurred after the double liver transplant. I am not nitpicking--this was the central theme of the movie and it was depicted in a very irresponsible manner. I know it's only a movie but it's based on a true story and I don't want people watching this to be misled into thinking this surgery is as easy and carefree as is depicted here. A liver transplant is a grueling experience with many months of difficult recovery. In this movie the characters are smiling, joking, up and around a day or two after surgery, looking great and fully functioning/

A Good Movie
A True story perfectly captured
Certainly one for having a tissue handy ! A lovely warming film based on a true story. Aimee Teegarden played the anxious and insecure girl in need of a transplant operation perfectly. Her smile lit up the screen and Brett Dalton was a good choice as the guy who was the perfect match . One of the best !
More poignant than the usual Hallmark Christmas movie
A young woman (Aimee Teegarden) needs a liver transplant. Along comes an ex marine (Brett Dalton from Shield) who altruistically decides to donate to her. Is it just gratitude or is it love?
It's a nice change of pace from the usual Hallmark fluff. If it was a feature film there wouldn't be a happy ending. So it's nice this organ transplant theme has a Hallmark treatment.
His saintliness is pure Hallmark but surprisingly not implausible in the context.
If you choose one Christmas movie at least this is a little different.
