Director: Stephen W. Bridgewater
Written by: Joany Kane
Starring: Edward Asner, John Newton, Alice Evans, Ben Weber
A soldier returns from a tour of duty to trace a woman whose christmas card to 'A Soldier' he randomly received while in Afghanistan.
The central idea of the plot has some merit for a romance or romcom, but the execution is flawed and implausible. John Newton is a staggeringly wooden lead, which is ironic because he spends most of the film working in a lumber yard. In this kind of film, the female lead is usually hooked up with some asshole and you spend much of the film wanting her to dump him, but in this the pre-existing boyfriend doesn't seem like that bad a guy. At least, there's nothing wrong with him the thoroughly delightful Alice Evans' character couldn't put right. Sooner than that put up with the personality and charm-free dullard played by Newton.
2/5
