Kirsten N With a few exceptions the acting is mediocre, The story is so so and predictable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/14/24 Full Review tech k Way to long but the story was good Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/24 Full Review Sharon D Don't rent. A decent storyline that took every opportunity to drag itself to the deepest depths of mediocrity. The constant filter changes, the "special" effects, bad research and the sodden script made me fast forward to the end just to see the German POW art "project." I realize it's a low budget predictable story that honors a town's history and I am sure many kind people were represented, but there was nothing heroic about this film. Too bad, it could have been interesting. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/29/24 Full Review Michele B The history was extremely accurate. I liked the emotional depth of the characters. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Chris J Truly one of the worst produced movies I've ever seen. There's not one positive thing I can say about it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/08/23 Full Review Vernell L I was born in Algona in November 1944. This film is a beautiful tribute to a town of 6000 with 10,000 German POW's. It's a Christmas story set in the cornfields of the time. I remember these stories. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
