Christmas on Windmill Way

Or the farm; or the plaza; or the outhouse.

This is another save movie, and quite run-of-the -mill (sorry) It stars Chad Michael Murray and Christa Taylor Brown. Just typing their names gets me halfway to the character requirement.

I gave it a six, but virtually all of that is on Murray. He's the anchor holding this whole thing together.

The story involves a cherished local windmill which is being threatened with demolition by the development company Murray works for. He rekindles a former relationship with Brown that ended in misunderstanding (naturally), and begins surreptitiously working with her against the interests of his company.

There really isn't much new here. Brown is very pretty, if she's not a model she should be. Her acting is better than some we've seen on GAF, but there is still room for improvement.

I would not recommend against watching this movie, but again, it's just ok.

Chad Michael Murray is always good, but there must be chemistry between him and his leading lady and in this case there wasn't any. I believe that Christa Taylor Brown was a miscast for this movie. Her style and his style are too much alike. They are both blonde and she is very soft spoken and so is he, so together they were so boring to watch. It was like they were brother and sister instead of potential love interests. It was a very hard movie to finish.

The story itself has been done so many times before that within 10 minutes I knew exactly how the wind mill would be saved and the only reason I kept watching was because of Chad Michael Murray. I will always watch a movie with him even if it's not good because of a miscast.

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.

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.

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.
