#TIMEPIECE REVIEWS MOVIE#
And a fitting film for any Christmas movie library.We use affiliate links. And, how such love then replaces sorrow with joy. It shows how real love overcomes the bitterness of anger and revenge.
Yet this is a powerful scene that strikes right at heart of what it means to love.
And probably very few who would do what they did. There no doubt are some who would not agree with what happens with Mary and David Parkin at the end. I wonder if the ending doesn't catch many by surprise. Otherwise it's a very good story with good acting all around. And, some of the acting seems a little wooden at times. The screenplay and directing at times seem a little stilted, and at other times hesitant or uncertain. This is a powerful story of love between a man and woman, of love between friends, of brotherly love and respect between people, and the love that is forgiveness and compassion.
#TIMEPIECE REVIEWS TV#
It's supposed to be a prequel to his 1995 best-seller, "The Christmas Box," which also was made into a TV movie that year. This 1996 TV film is based on a novel of the same title and year by Richard Paul Evans. Touching, romantic, sweet, funny, tragic, it's a movie that opens your heart. If this movie airs where you live, be certain to watch it. Like "Box," this movie has some drastic differences from the book, but in a good way-it's more suited for television, while Evans' books are best suited for, well, books. The girl playing little Andrea Parkin is pretty good for a child actor, but not stellar. Richard Thomas doesn't really star-he's in a cameo, at best, artificially aged, but it's a good cameo that sets up the whole movie. James Earl Jones is a jewel as Lawrence Flynn, an elderly black man who forges fearlessly through the prejudice of some of the town's residents, alongside his friend, Miss Maud Gannon. Watts is excellent as the woman whose hardships forge her into a much stronger person. I've only seen Kilner in one other role-that of the first lead on Earth: Final Conflict-and was not impressed by his acting abilities. Mary and David are the perfect couple, loving and tender and totally believable. Regardless, the two manage to overcome their obstacles, only to be hit by something terrible. Though he asks her to marry him, there is a problem: She's pregnant. It should be! Kevin Kilner stars as the cynical businessman David Parkin who is warmed by the presence of his new English secretary Mary Anne Chandler (who later is the endearing widow of "Christmas Box"). MAJOR SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW***** The follow-up to the Christmas Box TV-movie does not disappoint-my only disappointment is that this unknown gem is not on video.
