Winding Roads

Somebody get this film a distributor, quick! With James Marsters, Michael Weatherly and Rachel Hunter, the star power alone will drive this movie to success, but even more it's an elegantly produced, realistic drama. Set in a tight-knit community of young people, the "winding roads" of the title describe the surprising twists and turns of their broken hearts, new opportunities and second chances. Beautiful cinematography and excellent performances, especially by Marsters, Bronson and Hunter.

As a James Marsters fan he was the reason I bought this film but after realising he's not in it that much I really got into the actual story and really enjoyed it. Its a sweet story of love, heartache and the pains of becoming mature and responsible.

I'm not really a lover of Rachel Hunter's acting but I was surprised to learn her character was by far the best and most complex and the writing for her character (as well as the others) was pretty special.

This is the perfect film for a rainy Sunday afternoon particularly if you've experienced any type of loss be it love, a death or that sweet innocent belief of true love and happy ever afters.

For Marsters fans this film is very different to anything you would expect of him and really highlights how talented an actor he truly is.

I feel as if I have a duty to the movie viewing community to warn them about this poor excuse for a female-bonding, woman-empowerment film. Cliche laden plot threads and perfunctory acting turn this piece of fluff into a stone clunker. Only James Marsters is at all interesting in his desperate attempt to wring some emotion out of his insipid dialogue. When he's on screen the movie becomes almost good...but not quite. If you're in the mood for a liberating tale of female friendship, rewatch Thelma and Louise. If you're looking for James Marsters sink your teeth into a Buffy the Vampire Slayer rerun. Just don't take a wrong turn down these Winding Roads.

Although I hated the ending. It left everything all open. It was a kinda sad movie too. Really wanted to know how things went between the characters.

I saw this film as a James Marsters fan and was truly not disappointed by his performance. He and Kimberly Quinn were fantastic together. I can't get some of the depth of feeling they both portrayed out of my mind. The other actors, another being well liked one of mine, Michael Weatherly of Dark Angel fame( very small part) were good too. I felt the stories were compelling and this movie was well worth my watching. I will be honest there was a few flow problems and I'm not sure if it was the script or editing but you should know it was there. It didn't matter to me this is on my DVR permanently and soon to be on a tape. I'll watch it again!.... Yes because of James' performance but the others were good too, because honestly I couldn't just watch it for him... I'm not that far gone of a fan.
