This might be a positive or negative review, depending on beliefs.
Overall, the movie was pretty mediocre TV-movie fare, with a couple better then normal actors. I'll watch almost any Hallmark Channel style Christmas movie while I surf the internet. I'm not terribly picky - some turn out to be surprisingly good, some are just terrible. I rarely have to just give up on one.
This one I did. If I were religious, I think I would have given it a 6 out of 10 by the end. I am generally tolerant of a certain amount of religion in a movie, but this one was just over the top and preachy (and not just religious, but go-to-church religious). I started to fast forward those bits, but finally turned it off. If you are not solidly a religious church going person, I'd recommend giving it a pass.
If you are, I think you'll like it. It's nothing special, but not a bad example of the genre.
TL;DR: every 5-10 minutes there was another religious segment.
