Weihnachten in Conway (TV Movie 2013)

Weihnachten in Conway: Directed by John Kent Harrison. With Andy Garcia, Mandy Moore, Cheri Oteri, Riley Smith. To the folks in Conway, South Carolina, Duncan Mayor is a very cranky guy. To “my sweet girl” – his wife, Suzy – he’s a doting pussycat. But Suzy is just home from the hospital and cared for 24/7 by nurse Natalie, whom Duncan tries his best to ignore. Duncan decides the best medicine Suzy could possibly have – and a Christmas present she’ll never forget — is a ride on a real Ferris wheel, set up in their own back yard. Why a Ferris wheel? Because it was while riding one many moons ago that Duncan asked Suzy to marry him. Where to find a 45-foot-high used Ferris wheel? Duncan strikes gold in an abandoned amusement park, presided over by a lonely ex-carnival worker — Henry. Assembling the mechanical monstrosity is not exactly a one-man job. Duncan gets a crucial assist from Tommy, a former student of Suzy’s, who is deeply in her debt. He’s become a successful landscape designer after a troubled youth; it was Suzy who set him straight. Meanwhile, the neighbors are not amused; especially prim and proper Gayle Matthews. She’s entered her garden in an upscale magazine’s “Christmas Showcase” contest. The interest of the contest’s judges witnessing the atrocity next door is more than Gayle can bear. Fortunately, her brother is the local sheriff – and there are zoning laws to prevent this kind of thing, aren’t there?

“I enjoyed this movie but sadly I had one major major problem with it and it is kind of funny. Mary Louise Parker, the sick lady in the movie, funny enough she had the same role in Fried Green Tomatoes. Guess she is only good at one thing and also the bedroom setting was the same except for the big clock in fried green tomatoes. Please refrain from letting actresses know they are only good for one thing. Guess this is like being slotted in only one kind of role. Love Mary Louise Parker but honey I like you living….. Also I was hurt to know I canu0026#39;t post anything on this site if my spelling is correct. Guess we all go back to school a time or two. So for all you people that are like me and are not perfect, donu0026#39;t comment on movies here.”
