I was expecting a typical sappy rom com type film that you often get this time of the year on TV, and it did kind of start out like that, but has the movie went on it became so much more then that, the movie is about a good cause for Christmas and going against the odds works well here.





The setting itself becomes a character, makes you feel like your really there and Kat Graham and Alexander Ludwig started out with no chemistry, but it got better has the movie went on. Virginia Madsen is also good in her role also. If your looking for a delightful holiday film for the whole family then give Operation Christmas Drop a look.

If the US Military were ever to do a rose-tinted promotional video, then this would certainly serve that purpose. Kat Graham ("Erica") is the ambitious aide to a Congresswoman (Virginia Madsen) who is looking to save money by shutting down surplus military facilities. When she spots an article featuring pilot "Capt. Andrew" (Alexander Ludwig) complete with Santa hat describing their Polynesian "Christmas Drop", the Scrooge-like politician despatches her assistant to their idyllic island base to write a report that will shut the whole thing down. On arrival, however - her horizons change as she realises that she has the hots for the handsome Ludwig and that there is a heck of a lot more to the goings-on on the island than she had originally thought. We are never in doubt as to the outcome; but the two stars do gel, Ludwig has some charm without his Viking leathers, and the story has a gently comedic, Christmas feel good factor that nods to the somewhat crucial combined operations of US, Japanese and Australian forces that supply (not just at Christmas) many of the tiny islands and atolls in the Pacific at actually very little additional expense to anybody. Sure it's sentimental, but it's the time of year for it...

Operation Christmas Drop was a film like i knowed what it will be,unfortunetly we got in a season were we are getting a tone of Christmas based films that feel the same and that we saw a million times before.But this film at least had some cute leads who had good chemistry between them and at least that thing worked in a good sort of a way.Story in other hand was very predictable and i wasnt surprised by any kind of directorial decision and remark.But at least this film was little better then some previous films that we got last year so there is that
