The plot was okay, the cast adorable but I believe they oversold the 'my dad is a soldier' theme way too many times.
I have the outmost respect for people who risk their lives and spend holidays away from their families, but having that kid saying every five minutes 'my dad is not here for Christmas' made me feel that something was being pushed down my throat...
To be honest, I could even see it in the actors performances that what they were saying on that topic was sugar covered clichés.
That theme would be fine for a children movie, but this is supposed to be for general audiences....
Please don't use movies for preaching.
