OPERATION CHRISTMAS DROP (Netflix Release USA 2020)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì

Operation Christmas Drop—humanitarian film—turns a final product much reminiscent of Hallmark movies. Nothing new here...an old story re-told again in a little different stage setting…leaves the audience with a ‘feel good’ about people and the things they do that are kind and compassionate. Provides a little history about the Operation Christmas Drop the military runs. Simple, but worthy watch.
