It seems to have absolutely nothing to do with Company of Heroes, the game, except for the fact that it's set in WW2. It takes place at the end of the war (Dec.'44) in the Ardennes, and none of the characters have any remote relation to characters from the COH single-player campaign or from it's multi-player. They don't say any of the great COH "sayings" and they don't even have a single character in the movie named after a character in the game. It seems like the game name "Company of Heroes" was just slapped on this mediocre WW2 movie after-the-fact.
It's a bit pathetic that Hollywood is so married to brand recognition that stunts like this get pulled. Every movie that comes out is a sequel of something else, or an adaptation of an already recognizable intellectual property. It's gonna make it real tough for new storytellers to get the support to tell new stories.
