    • Trivia
      The two lead actors, Michael Welch and Lauren Rys Martin, were brought in from LA for the movie. The rest of the cast are Michigan based actors with Kayla Kelly traveling from the Upper Peninsula. The secondary cast or extras were almost all cast from the Air Zoo staff with many of them being ex-military.

    Not worth watching.
    This movie had the longest, most boring intro I have ever seen, never want to hear "God rest ye merry gentlemen" again.

    Past the intro, the movie was slow to really get into the story and the music was too prominent.

    This is not what I would call a Christmas film.
