Christmas in Conway

This movie tries to capture some of the ugliness of the situation this woman and her husband are in. She is dying and they all know it. It is an awful place to be. As much ugliness as the movie captures, I'm sure it doesn't come close to the reality.

As a subplot, there is a vindictive neighbor who is just plain mean and she'd like to say she is doing it for the community, but she's just doing it for her self.

The cast does a marvelous job.

My rating should not reflect the quality of this movie. This Hallmark Hall of Fame movie belongs in that category. I just can't say it was fun to watch and as I sit here immediately after finishing it, I don't think I will watch it again.

I don't know if my previous review went through so I'm going to have to write again. Andy Garcia not only is handsome and Charming and very approachable but he has a way about pulling at the Heartstrings and making women feel emotional. It's from his emotional presence. He knows how to cry and show his emotions and he's not afraid to show his emotions he wears his emotions on his shoulders. This is very unusual and it's very unusual for an actor to be this incredibly gifted and skilled to draw in the audience and make them emotionally vulnerable and bring up tears and you see people crying left and right. He's A Gifted Man love him.

This was very good, a little heartbreaking if I'm honest but I appreciated that it wasn't the usual cheesy or corny Christmas movie. A surprisingly great cast here too; Andy Garcia, is fantastic, Mandy Moore, very believable as the home care nurse and Mary-Louise Parker is suitably sick. They all do a great job telling the story of a grumpy (heartbroken) man who goes about building a Ferris wheel for his ailing wife in their backyard as a reminder of the night he proposed to her.

There are some very heartfelt moments here and a bit of a romance hinted at between Moore and the landscaper which is left a little vague. I could have done without the brief attempts at humour from the neighbourhood Grinch woman and the cowboy junkyard man. A beautiful ending here too which at first left me surprised -what, that's it? Because I was so engrossed in the story. But then when I thought about it I realized I didn't really need to see anymore. 12/22/14

For those who love these movies it's enjoyable. Face it, Hallmark shows are not made for academy awards and Emmy's they are made to share warm sentiments and enjoyment for those that like them. It's enjoyable and should be viewed in that way.

Garcia gives a good performance as do most of the actors. It is nice to see some of these actors I have not seen in a number of years.

A man who loves his wife and is trying to deal with her mortality and their dreams ending. To those who have lost loved ones way too soon, it is a respectful view into how people deal with loss and forgiveness. To many this will mean a great deal.

I live 20 mins from Family Kingdom and it was the real Amusement Park, I agree with you that Moncks Corner is not a short drive from Myrtle Beach. Also I agree that the RiverWalk was not given justice, The RiverWalk is a pleasant place to visit and was obviously not the same one in the movie. With that said it was nice to see that South Carolina (Grandstrand) was the setting for a Christmas movie. I would rate the movie 9 from a scale for 1-10. I was saddened to see that all the details wasn't exact but movies are based in towns all across America and are obviously not filmed in the exact town there based on simply due to the fact for permits and etc.
