NATAL EM WINDMILL WAY

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.

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.

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.

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.
