Christmas on Windmill Way

Why always old flame story line?

The actual story line was good. Except like I noted above the part about "the old flame" that's getting really old!

Loved seeing Chad Michael Murray, and hope to see him in future GAC Movies.

There was absolutely no Chemistry between him and Christa Taylor Brown.

Maybe it was the characters they played, maybe not. It was hard to root for them.

I did watch the entire movie, but kept hoping or wishing I would eventually see chemistry between the two.

They seemed more like brother and sister or friends then they did a couple who have feeling and love for each other.

The plot is not what would make you watch this until the end. We know from the first minute, where the story will go. So there must be something else. Humor, drama, action, well-written dialogue, cool cuts or camera work... take your pick.

This movie offers nothing but nice cinematography. It's plain boring. It's like it was made for people who recovee from heart surgery and must not experience stress, laughter or sadness.

So the movie idles from start to finish. Somehow, I watched all if it, but I kept wondering why.

I should re-watch Love Actually. Now, there is a kick-ass Christmas movie.

Finished this movie because of Chad Michael Murray.

What is wrong with the way the lead actress talks? Its like she is reading a book to let someone go to sleep, and zero emotions. I dont if its her voice or the way she talks. Did not feel any chemistry between the two lead actors. I watched Chad Michael Murray's other movies but never felt this off with the other lead actresses. Looks so forced. Do they not do a trail run before filming? And the plotline is so basic. Even a kid can guess the plotline and the ending. And this movie made me never want to watch another movie of the lead actress.

Decent plot but honestly the only reason I watched the whole movie was because I love Chad Michael Murray but it was truly a struggle to watch the entire movie. Christa Taylor Brown brings nothing to the screen and comes across with very little warmth. Chad is able to create a spark in just about any movie he is in but even he was not able to bring out anything in his leading lady.

The other characters helped to liven up the movie but unfortunately so much of the footage concentrated on Christa that I was glad when it was finally over. I will continue to look for other Chad Michael Murray movies and only hope he doesn't team up with Christa again.

As part of a Christmas movie marathon here in December, I had the opportunity to sit down and watch the 2023 movie "Christmas on Windmill Way". Sure, I had never heard about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it.

Did I harbor any grand expectations to the movie? No, not really, as it seemed to be a generic Christmas movie from the cover alone. But, of course, I opted to give the movie a fair chance.

Writer Billy Schofield put together a fair enough script. Sure, it held components of traditional generic sappy Christmas storytelling, but at the same time the storyline actually proved entertaining enough to be enjoyable. I actually did enjoy the narrative in the movie.

The only performer on the screen that I was familiar with was Chad Michael Murray, whom has been starring in other sappy Christmas movies as well. The chemistry between the two leading performers, that being Chad Michael Murray and Christa Taylor Brown, was good. The acting performances in the movie were fair.

Hardly a Christmas classic in the making, but I will say that "Christmas On Windmill Way" proved enjoyable and entertaining. And if you like Christmas movies, then you should check the movie out.

My rating of director Don McBrearty's 2023 movie lands on a six out of ten stars.
