This is a formulaic Christmas romance. The only thing that stands out is that the story is set in Amish culture.

The characters are stock figures without much depth. The two leads do not have on-screen chemistry. The dialogue is wooden and all too predictable.

It seems the producers thought adding the word 'Amish' to the title would make the movie more popular, or at least draw more interest. It worked with me, but the movie failed to deliver. This movie is a trifle, which I guess it was meant to be.

There are better things to do during this season than watch this movie. This movie is not recommended.

You would think two well-educated people would not get themselves into a web of lies about being engaged. That is what happened in this movie. Nothing new here except for the ending which did not have the couple living happily ever after. The movie just ended. There was no chemistry between the leads. The supporting cast did a reasonable job of keeping the story going except for Marie Osmond who was the bold and brassy mother of the female lead.

Her acting was overly theatrical, and not really funny. It is not her fault, the script was not really funny or touching.

It was your standard TV holiday movie. Skip this movie and do something that will leave you feeling good.

As others have said, the idea for the film was interesting with no follow through by the cast or crew. The script was badly-written. The acting was too much talk and too little action. Overall, this movie was a low-budget mess.

The "alien spacecraft" was a concoction of three space shuttle models glued together and painted black. The only thing that was mildly interesting were the opening credits, but they only lasted 2 minutes. I have lost the hundred minutes never to be regained. Don't watch "First Signal"; read a book, clean the house. Don't watch this movie. The signal for this movie was lost a long time ago.
