I grew up on the Waltons and this completely new cast was not relatable as the Waltons. I had high hopes with the way the show started out with the original John BOY. I thought it would be a show on his family carrying on the traditions he grew up with on the mountain not a redo of something that had already been done. Turned it off after 20 minutes. I'd rather watch a rerun of the original thana pooly made remake. If it's not broke don't try to fix it. The Waltons were good and wholesome. When you watched the original cast, it drew you in. You wanted to be a part of their family. It always made you want to be a better person.
Why couldn't they make up their own movie and family instead of hijacking a great series like the Waltons? The acting was terrible, and it was too far removed from the excellent acting done by the original cast and the writing/lines were so juvenile. It was like a kindergarten version of a once college level show. I would have enjoyed it slightly if it was an original family so I couldn't compare it. Also they changed Ben's history. The characters didn't even try to have the same color hair or mannerisms. We watch the original series all the time, but we won't watch this movie again. The movie is harmless, just not believable.
I gave this a fair shot. Even though I watched the Christmas episode and wasn't that impressed. I absolutely love the original The Waltons series and still watch it today. So I was excited to have more of the Walton family and company. Until I watched it and it didn't really even feel like The Waltons. There is none of the original charm and authenticity that made me love the original so much.
The costumes are wrong- they feel entirely too modern. Like someone playing dress up rather than a costume department.
The acting feels stiff and forced. It's like the actors know nothing about the characters or the time period. Again, there's something decidedly modern in the way they interact and behave. I'm also not sure why they're all putting on accents when no one really had much of one in the original. I might be able to overlook that, but they're bad accents, too.
The dialogue is average at best- and that's being generous. Admittedly, some of the dialogue from the original show was a bit on the nose and cheesy at times, but it never felt overwhelmingly so. Because I believed the actors and their characters. They felt authentic. Not only is this dialogue corny, but it has a very modern flair to it. Certain turns of phrase and the way in which the lines are delivered feel off. The biggest offender I can remember here is when John-Boy is listing off everyone entering in competitions at the fair. If I only heard the dialogue, I wouldn't guess this was meant to be taking place in 1934.
I think the casting is off, too. I've seen a number of these actors in other things and they're not bad actors. They just don't really fit here. Again, they don't feel authentic. Olivia, John, Grandma, and Grandpa all especially feel wrong. Olivia especially has none of the maternal, soft but stern qualities that she had in the series. John, Grandma, and Grandpa also feel like entirely different characters. No matter who played these characters or how they played them, I don't think I'd ever find them comparable to the original. But I can say that they could certainly be played better and do a little more justice to who came before.
And the supporting characters are all wrong, too. I won't go too far into that but all I needed to hear was the Baldwin sisters actually referring to 'the recipe' as moonshine to know that someone hadn't really done their homework as far as characterization goes.
Obviously a remake isn't going to be exactly like the original, nor should it be. But there are some that are worse than others. I would have to say this is one of the worse ones. Even the Christmas special was better and I didn't particularly care for that.
Bottom line- nothing feels authentic and there is not even a hint of the original charm. All the same, it is a feel good, wholesome movie and I do appreciate that. It's almost better to just pretend this is unrelated to The Waltons many know and love. It's not a bad movie on its own, but it's a poor representation of the original characters and series.

'Nuff said.
Everything you wanted in a sentimental, nostalgic heartstring Tugger- and less.
If you want to watch the waltons, find out what channel is doing the reruns or get the DVDs from Netflix or eBay or Amazon. I don't even know if it's streaming anywhere, but this... this is a travesty. This reminds me of an episode of Happy Days where Mr Cunningham had paid for a TV advert and the studio replaced him and Marion with perfect Teeth perfect hair facsimiles, and Howard got to play the stock boy. Pretty ridiculous right? All I can figure here is that Mr Thomas needed a paycheck, and enough for decades so fast that they didn't figure anybody would get too upset or be too unhappy with this bizarre, otherworldly alternate reality version.

This was an excellent show that has all the quality and character of the original series that touches the heartstrings of what is upright and overflowing with an often rare goodness seldom seen in the morals we experience in this world almost 50 years after the original series.
How wonderful to be suspended in a world free from technology, hype and the distraction we experience in todays world often devoid of meaningful interaction with those we come in contact on a daily bases. What a joy to see that those that we touch can be effected in one positive life changing event
The special topped off a wonderful Thanksgiving. Thank you Magnolia Hill!

- PatzerAt one point in the story, Erin is discouraged and remarks that she may never succeed in her ambition to become an "actor". But at the time the movie is taking place (in the 1930's), the word "actress" was almost always used for a female actor.
