Christmas Homecoming might be a little corny, and a little cheesy, but it's also sweet and perfect for military families during the holidays. With a beautiful female lead and a strong and handsome soldier for the ladies in the audience to dream about, you can definitely root for this Hallmark couple. Julie Benz is very friendly and warm, but she's also nursing a broken heart and is in serious need of Christmas cheer. Michael Shanks is a soldier, injured and healing, who rents an apartment from Julie. One injury on the inside, one on the outside, and they can both heal each other through friendship - or maybe a little more. Add in the obstacle of Julie's reluctance to get involved with another soldier, and you have a very compelling romance.
Hallmark certainly excels in their military flicks. They always bring a lump to your throat, they're full of great values and old-fashioned romances, and they remind you of the important things in life - not sugar cookie baking contests or who can decorate with more lights. If you like this subgenre of Christmas movies, you'll like this one. For a great double-feature, check out Operation Christmas or Holiday for Heroes.
