Christmas on the Bayou

The best part of this movie is Ed Asher. He is an amazing actor!

I love this movie it brought the magic of the Christmas with no cliche romances. The downfall was the kid was a brat and Santa serieouly. But overall great movie

At the first sigh, another Christmas film , like so many others. In fact, a beautiful film. For few reasons. The first - Edward Asner and his talks with the young Brody Rose , reminding few slices of childhood dialogues with grand father, and the dream to meet Santa. Second- the South atmosphere, realistic, delicate, precise crafted. Not the last -Randy Travis portrait of a contemporary saint. And, sure,Hilarie Burton defining, in inspired manner, a carrer woman, preocupead by her child, returning to her home and rediscovering the true love. Short, a seductive romantic film, giving more than expected romance.

It is just so sweet. And the romance story is cute and realistic and they have funny banter. The kid in this had such an arc that towards the end I was crying over him when I started out annoyed!

This was one if the best TV movies I've seen in a LONG time. The production value was much higher than the usual standards, the story was well told, and the performances were genuine and heartfelt...not over-the-top and corny like so many other movies in this category.

I especially liked the young boy playing Zach. His storyline was precious and I expect we will see him in many more movies.

It was fun to see Ed Asner take on a Santa-like role again, too. Hilarie Burton gives a grand performance in a role that could have easily become melodramatic and she had great chemistry with the boy (Zach) and Tyler Burton and Markie Post. I've always been a fan of Markie's! She looks great and she, too, gives a very heartfelt performance.

I highly recommend this holiday movie.
