A Godwink Christmas: Miracle of Love

I look forward to new entries in this series especially when it's based on a true story. This one says "inspired by" and there's no telling what that means in terms of sticking to the actual story. I say that because it becomes relevant in this movie especially as regards the last part of the movie. Some incredible things happen that qualify as miraculous. Unfortunately, the movie appears to associate some of that directly to Joy.

The first part of the movie focuses on the volunteer team working on a project to finish the construction of a house for a family who lost everything in a fire. The team, often inspired by Joy's ideas, quickly becomes totally invested in making the family's new house a welcoming home. There are many sentimental moments. The story appears to be heading for predictable, but there is a huge twist before the climax.

There is good chemistry between Katherine Barrell and Alberto Frezza, (I was mildly surprised to see that Barrell's character had the same name, Joy, as her character on Good Witch.)

It has the gift to be little more than an ordinary Hallmark. Because the social message is more significant than the romance, because Nelson Wong as good spice ( it is his virtue in many other Hallmark Christmas movies ), because the childhood has the status of changer of lives and because the social message is fair crafted.

Short, in many aspects, a surprising film.

Noble message, beautiful portrait of a team and fair definition of purpose in life and family in large sense.

So, a real good film, charming for exploration of nuances, for acting and for christmas in a wise perspective. Because the story of two people , looking for job is great presented.

The Godwin's movies are good especially since they are based on true stories. But my goodness why can't anyone in hallmark movies act? The acting is so superficial and so contrived I can't believe they got their parts. It proves my points about Hollywood.

A very nice storyline about a team of young people working together on a service project to help a family who have experienced a house fire. Very slow moving and plot was lacking, but ending very touching as it showed how God can intervene in extraordinary ways.

Watched this movie just to look at Alberto Frezza. Happy days!

Movie wasn't too bad either. Didn't think that the actress playing Joy was as bad as some reviewers thought.

Nice that it's a true story too.
