A Bramble House Christmas 2018


     Willa Fairchild had been taking care of Mr. Conrad.  He is elderly man and they really bonded during his illness.  He talked to her about living her life and not being afraid.  She talked to him about the wife and two children he left behind.  He thought they deserved a better husband and father.  Mr. Conrad left Willa the gift of a two-week vacation at Bramble House in Marietta Montana for the Christmas holidays.  He also left her $100,000 to pay medical bills for her son Scout.  They had thought he might not live long enough to grow up but he had a new type of surgery and now he's OK.  Finn Conrad and his sister Savannah think that Willa used undue influence on their father during his illness.  This must be the reason he left her the vacation and the money?
     This is good and interesting except the plot telegraphs what is going to happen from the beginning.  There are very little surprises as the story moves along.  I would like to spend time at the Bramble House myself!!  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)
     
84 min, Drama directed by Steven R. Monroe with Autumn Reeser, David Haydn-Jones, Liam Hughes, Teryl Rothery, Andrew Airllie, Bruce Dawson, Hilary Jardine, Lyla Marlow.

Note:  The book written by C.J. Carmichael has 4.6* out of 5* with 409 reviews on Amazon, Imdb 7.2 out of 10, 67% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, Amazon DVD 4.7* out of 5* with 45 reviews,
Special Note: The town of Marietta Montana is a fictional town but there are more than 181 books using this town as the setting.  David Hayden-Jones is the actor playing the character of Finn.  In real life, Autumn Reeser’s son’s name is Finn.  An unusual coincidence?
