I watched this movie with my teen daughter. We watch about a dozen Christmas movies every year, and this one was bad enough to finally write a review. The premise was good so we kept watching with hope that it would get better. It didn't.
There were a number of plot gaps, script or Director shortcuts, and poor production in my opinion. This movie had such potential, but neither the Canadian name A Christmas Hero or international name Firehouse Christmas really made sense to the story.
The movie was predictable and had a decent cast, but the Director, writers and production crew had the movie bouncing all over the place and it almost seemed like the actors were having a hard time following the story-line themselves. Had they not cut so many corners in the script, this movie could have easily been a 7.5. Instead its barely a 5, and definitely a never watch again.
