Operation Christmas Drop - Holiday Movie Musings

A new entry for the 2020 holiday season, this one was pretty cute. A little white savior-y and a little “generic Polynesian culture-esque” wen visiting the indigenous peoples, but ultimately, I enjoyed it. Big bad political interests want to close a base in Guam, which is known to be one of the biggest relief organizations in the region. They send a young woman with hopes for a promotion to be the battle-axe out there to cut the cruft. Christmas is not incidental in the least, which is a strong compliment coming from me for any holiday film, since so many fail this simple test. But it’s also a fun movie in its own right.

Recommend.
