Christmas on Windmill Way

I don't have high expectations for a holiday movie, yet I had a hard time just getting through it. There's nothing original or interesting about the story, the main characters had zero chemistry, and the actors sounded like they were reading from cards.

I watched this one with a few other people, and we all decided this must have been produced during the SAG writers' strike and on a low budget. We kept waiting for something interesting to happen, and it was really strange (and distracting) that the actors delivered their lines in monotone at approximately half-speed of a normal conversation, always in muted, whispery tones and with flat affect.

I don't recommend this unless you literally have nothing else to watch.

Chad Michael Murray is always good, but there must be chemistry between him and his leading lady and in this case there wasn't any. I believe that Christa Taylor Brown was a miscast for this movie. Her style and his style are too much alike. They are both blonde and she is very soft spoken and so is he, so together they were so boring to watch. It was like they were brother and sister instead of potential love interests. It was a very hard movie to finish.

The story itself has been done so many times before that within 10 minutes I knew exactly how the wind mill would be saved and the only reason I kept watching was because of Chad Michael Murray. I will always watch a movie with him even if it's not good because of a miscast.

Decent plot but honestly the only reason I watched the whole movie was because I love Chad Michael Murray but it was truly a struggle to watch the entire movie. Christa Taylor Brown brings nothing to the screen and comes across with very little warmth. Chad is able to create a spark in just about any movie he is in but even he was not able to bring out anything in his leading lady.

The other characters helped to liven up the movie but unfortunately so much of the footage concentrated on Christa that I was glad when it was finally over. I will continue to look for other Chad Michael Murray movies and only hope he doesn't team up with Christa again.

The plot is not what would make you watch this until the end. We know from the first minute, where the story will go. So there must be something else. Humor, drama, action, well-written dialogue, cool cuts or camera work... take your pick.

This movie offers nothing but nice cinematography. It's plain boring. It's like it was made for people who recovee from heart surgery and must not experience stress, laughter or sadness.

So the movie idles from start to finish. Somehow, I watched all if it, but I kept wondering why.

I should re-watch Love Actually. Now, there is a kick-ass Christmas movie.

Why always old flame story line?

The actual story line was good. Except like I noted above the part about "the old flame" that's getting really old!

Loved seeing Chad Michael Murray, and hope to see him in future GAC Movies.

There was absolutely no Chemistry between him and Christa Taylor Brown.

Maybe it was the characters they played, maybe not. It was hard to root for them.

I did watch the entire movie, but kept hoping or wishing I would eventually see chemistry between the two.

They seemed more like brother and sister or friends then they did a couple who have feeling and love for each other.
