Christmas on the Bayou 2013


     Katherine lives and works in New York.  Zack is her son and he is 7 years old.  He is having a hard time in school and in sports.  He thinks his mother never listens to him and that she spends a lot of time involved with her job.  She decides to try to change all this around by to taking a Christmas vacation trip to her hometown to visit with her mother.
     I didn’t expect very much from this film on Lifetime but it was better than I thought.  It doesn’t take a genius to see from the beginning how this is probably going to turn out but the journey to get there is pleasant and interesting.  Asner plays a Santa like role, Hilarie Burton has good chemistry with Brody Rose, Tyler Hilton and Markie Post.  A lot of good information about the Bayou.  3 ½* (I liked this movie)

86 min, TV movie directed by Leslie Hope with Hilarie Burton, Tyler Hilton, Randy Travis, Markie Post, Edward Asner, Brody Rose, Ariana Neal.

Note:  Imdb 6.4 out of 10, Turner Classic Movies 5* out of 5 except 4.67 for screen play, Amazon 4.5* out of 5* with 37 reviews.
Special Note:  This is the first time Hilarie Burton and Tyler Hilton and acted together since they were on One Tree Hill of 2003.
