Review of Love's Christmas Journey

The two-part movie Love's Christmas Journey hearkens back to the classic Hallmark Movies I grew-up loving and watching on CBS. It is by far my favorite Christmas TV movie of the season thus far. The story slowly and beautifully unfolds, the characters are true and compelling, and the filmmakers successfully transport the viewer back to the heart of the Old West. What was true back then is true today- the importance of family, friends and community. It is a feel good movie that isn't rushed or fake like some of today's current market. The acting is superb. I love Soap Operas and am sad at their demise, so it is awesome to see Natalie Hall, Greg Vaughan and Charles Shaughnessy act their asses off in this movie. I was happy to see the underused Jobeth Williams and Sean Astin, whom I love. It was great to discover new faces Dylan Bruce and Bobby Campo. And who doesn't love the sublime Ernest Borgnine?! See this good production when you have the time to appreciate it.
