Il giorno del ringraziamento

I admitt : I like it . Not exactly for romance but for inspired details , well used, wise crafted.

First, I am history teacher and the work of Justin Bruening reminds to me moments and scees from past years, past generations and the passion of not real wealthy man of school to his vocation.

Second, for the presence and fair job of veterans, Lindsay Wagner ( beautiful at whole ), Bruce Boxleitner and Jack Scalia being the good examples in this case.

For characters, main characters , well acted, alive , realistic and proposing in nice way sensitive themes, from family and relation with father after divorce of parents to the sentimental relations, role of gossips and manipulation and ...bugs in Washington DC. And, sure, the responsability for cultural legacy.

In short, just a beautiful Hallmark film. In some measure, a good surprise. To the end, obvious, more that.

Hallmark, there are doing a good job. We have a family night with Hallmark movie's (DVR)

I give the actors an A+ the storyline B-. I'm a fan of Emily Rose & hope to see her in some more Hallmark movie's soon. there are some details or oops in the movie. I'm OK with the location's & the time of year they shot the movie. there's a lot to work around when the actors have other projects in the works.

but we got lost at the end & played it again. we still don't understand "should I open the letter" what letter? I think they made an oops in the storyline at the end. but it's still a Good Movie & Hallmark always has a happy ending.

This sweet film has everything going for it...good cast and writing and a cozy theme. But it is marred for this Virginia native by the film's assertion that the "first" Thanksgiving occurred in 1621 in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

In fact, the first Thanksgiving occurred in 1607 in Jamestown, Virginia when the first colonists to colonize what we now know as America arrived in three ships: The Discovery, The Godspeed and the Susan Constant. One of the first things the colonists did was to have a Christian service of Holy Communion and Thanksgiving. They also befriended the Native American tribes in the area and shared meals together. It is important that our media accurately reflect actual American history. Hallmark has an obligation to have said, "the first Thanksgiving in the Massachusetts colony" which would have been the truth and would not have detracted from the film's theme.

Hallmark does have a good history of airing original movies that are good. Which is why I like to watch them when I can

The Thanksgiving House is one of those films you can actually sit down and watch to appreciate for it's original plot and acting which is what Hallmark is known to do.

With the cast being: Emily Rose,Justin Bruening,Julia Jones,Lindsay Wagner,Bruce Boxleitner,Cerina Vincent,Adam Kaufman,Jack Scalia each one help tell the story of the movie Emily's performance stands out the most because her character stuck out the most with Justin's performance coming in second. Cerina's character really shows out to be the bad apple in terms

The music was wonderful it was everything you would want in a movie like this and then some I just enjoy the score all together it was peaceful and joyful it set the tone of the movie. The setting is good as well.

Overall I enjoy the story, the acting and the music it just really good to have a Thanksgiving theme movie I give The Thanksgiving House an 8 out of 10

I liked the aspect of combining historic sentiment with this Holiday. This movie also had several underlying themes and I totally enjoyed the greedy boyfriend getting his "do" while riding off into the sunset with his greedy "sidekick". Family values and the family setting are shown as true to life - all families have their issues. It is always good to look at the other side of the "coin" and this movie weaves "food for thought" into the plot. What better holiday to "bring home the family values while respecting history". It showed that the busy grind of today and money over family is not always alive and well. Today the lifestyle is losing traditions and any traditions like Thanksgiving need to be kept alive and kicking. It also gave me thought as to the real history of the first Thanksgiving and made be want to go to New England again. I wish this movie would come out on DVD. So glad Hallmark has autumn and Thanksgiving movies!
