I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinions but judging a movie based on a "Cheesy Hollywood Storyline" after watching for only 10 minutes??? You arent qualified to write a review after watching for 10 minutes! Comments about islanders being excited at a hairbrush also???? You obviously have never been to these islands and know nothing aboout their struggle to get a hold of something as simple as a hairbrush. (btw the kids surprise was not that hairbrushes actually exist but that she was given one).Sailors who pass through the islands are offered free moorings but are given shopping lists to bring vital supplies with them as a barter system. One couple was asked to bring a new printer with them which took over 2 months before they received it. THAT is the island reality! OK rant over. I love this movie for its accurate portrayal of a humanitarian operation which has been going on for years unknown by many. Acted well great all round actors (and I dare say some serving personnel there too). The story is all about the true meaning of christmas as others have said and is well made. A must watch Christmas movie for me with the best feelgood factor ever.
