Plot: Congressional aide Erica (Graham) forgoes family Christmas to travel at boss's behest:) At a beachside Air Force base, she clashes with Capt. Andrew Jantz (Ludwig), who knows her assignment is finding reasons to defund the facility. She clashes with Capt. Andrew Jantz over his pet project -- Operation: Christmas Drop.
My Movie Review: The movie is a simple predictable romantic spree with military propaganda! Operation Christmas Drop is a bomb nothing much is going on and the film lacks remarkable moments that would make it special like the concept of gift drop but the execution is all over the place really messy movie have to say nothing much achievement until the last scene drop:( Alexander Ludwig is all grown up now that's nice to see how tall fine looking man he become since I knew him as a child with his previous movies like The dark is Rising if I'm not mistaken:) I didn't expect this is going to be bland holiday movie in trailer it seems more joyous I didn't remember any supporting cast acting or moments they fell into the background in other movies I had fun watching secondary characters make their own mark but this time I didn't only the two main characters have the spotlight and they didn't make most of it- just slow moving sequence! Kat Graham is toned down I expect more than since in The Vampire Diaries she give more than expected- exhilarating performance I wish her acting here has more edge' sass and spice!
Critic Reviews: Erica and Andrew deserve their happily ever after, as does the Operation Christmas Drop endeavor. Mission accomplished. Everything in "Operation Christmas Drop" falls predictably into place like children nestled all snug in their beds. Each plot point and character dynamic appears predetermined, and not in a seasonally charming way. An anodyne, friction-free romantic comedy that faintly distinguishes itself from its snow-sprayed genre brethren with enticingly balmy South Pacific scenery. The writing has all the charm of an Air Force procurement budget! It's a lot more fun watching Erica and Andrew wholesomely frolicking on the beach for Christmas than it is being bashed over the head with warm and cuddly military propaganda. Doesn't have lofty aspirations to upend expectations for Christmas movies satisfies the basic tenant of making viewers feel good. Military history, positive gentle romance with its nauseating array of smiles and sunshine, takes the Christmas spirit a tad too seriously. The story is predictable, but at this point in 2020, we could use a bit of predictability:0
