A Godwink Christmas: Second Chance, First Love

My favorite Godwink movie (so far). It's a heartwarming story throughout, without any dramatic misunderstandings or negative characters. It's well acted and easy to watch and stay interested. Well done, it is on my re-watch list Beautiful winter and Christmas scenes.

Nov 2021.

I'm 60 and have Godwinks (God Winks) in my own life starting with Lincoln Logs as a 4 year old to becoming a mechanical engineer as an adult (I had a ton of Erector sets as a teenager)!!

Though I like all e Godwink movies so far, the 2nd one was better because the man turned out to be her hero in the end. The Godwink just put them together but it was his personal choice that saved her.

The acting wasn't bad by the leads in this one but (as with all holiday movies) the rest seemed wooden to help support the leads. That's really what I like is the stories anyway and it's great when the cast and storyline inter-mash.

The other thing is being based on true life...it's easier to write/act on this alone vice made up stuff. I belief in Artistic creativity even for true stories because in real life, life isn't always a dance or song.

The cast is perfect especially Brooke D'Orsay and Sam Page: they are perfect together, I really liked their connection. Besides, Sam page often has good roles.

I agree with another reviewer on here. I thought the second was the best thus far, while this was in par with the first. That said, it is a sweet and warm story. I do love the concept of this series; thus, I hope we get a fourth instalment next Christmas. The script was strong as well. The writers could have given more scenes to the two leads, though, to be fair, they only have 80 minutes to tell this story. The relationship between Margie (played by Brooke D'Orsay) and Scott (played by Zahf Paroo) seemed odd. They never once touched on screen, for example; it was hard to believe that they were a couple. It just seemed strange. The acting, overall, was strong. Both Sam Page (as Pat) and D'Orsay had good performances, convincing performances for the most part. The chemistry was good, though, as I alluded to above, the writers could have developed this a bit more. The supporting cast was pretty good too. I thought the grandmother (played by Michele Scarabelli) had a very warm and gentle feel to her performance, which I enjoyed. Finally, the scenery, props and sets were very well polished, quite festive. Overall, this latest edition to the Godwink series specifically, and Hallmark's 2020 Christmas movie lineup more broadly, is a warm and heartfelt welcome. Fans of Hallmark will no doubt enjoy this Christmas movie.

I really enjoyed this installment of Godwink, Sam Page and Brooke D'Orsay do a great job portraying a pair of high school sweethearts who meet again later in life. Page & D'Orsay have great chemistry and an easy flow between them that you would expect to see in this, all too relatable scenario, in this "Facebook" generation. The pace is good, the entire cast is good, and the story is interesting enough that I found myself being pulled right into it. I'll be watching this one again.
