Summary: Change of Seasons done very good!!
Review: A Change of Seasons was a great movie! It was a follow up to "Christy: The Movie" and it details Christy's life durning the time when a flood comes to the small town of Cutter Gap, many things are lost but at the end of the movie everything turns out alright! It's worth seeing and it's a really good movie.

Summary: Wonderful! Just Wonderful!
Review: Christy: A Change of Seasons is just a wonderful movie for both children and parents. I just love the whole Christy series, movie and mini-series. The story was aired on PAX tv in a two part series starring Lauren Lee Smith as Christy Huddleston. The story starts out on a wonderful night in Cutter Gap. All the residents in Cutter Gap gather to the Mission House to watch a movie which Christy (Smith) borrowed for Miss Alice Henderson's birthday. But as the story moves on not everything is so peaceful and happy. A few days later, after Doctor Neil MacNeill (played by Stewart Finley McLannen from the orginal series) exames some residents, he discovers that typhoid has come to the good people of Cutter Gap. Almost everyone becomes ill, encluding David Grantland, (played by James Waterston, son of actor Sam Waterston)the young mission preacher. Christy is devistated by the death of her dear friend Fairlight Spencer (played by Ingrid Torrance) and begins to question her belief in God. Christy throws herself into help Dr. MacNeill care for the ill and tries not to think about her loss. But David offers her hope and his heart to her. So she accepts his proposal. Miss Alice also tries to help Christy through her troubles, but she is also battling problems of her own. Dr. MacNeill soon finds out about Christy's choice to marry David and decides to leave the Cove, rather then see the woman he loves marry another. To find out what happens next and see who Christy marries check out Christy: A New Beginning.

Summary: Great Family Movie
Review: I am a fan of the Christy series, and this movie is faithful to the original theme and spirit. I highly recommend getting it if you want to find out who Christy ends up marrying..Dr. MacNeil or David...:) I won't spoil the surprise.

Summary: A tad disappointed
Review: I love the book Christy and though I think it's usually hard for a tv or movie version of a book to totally live up to it's namesake, the first series did this job pretty well I think. This version, however, was overacted (Other than Dr. McNeil's character which I still think was acted pretty well),and the characters didn't have the heart and spirit that they did in the book. The overacting and poorly done camera work make what is a great story seem hokey and dumbed down. Also many of the characters aren't very well cast either. I don't recommend this version at all but still recommend the book and the other television version of this story.

Summary: Well, what can I say, a good story and Dr. McNeil rocks!
Review: I loved the television show, and it was hard for me to get into the new characterizations of the characters. It was great to see some returning members, espically McLennan who played Neil McNeil. I think he really holds this mini-series together, and is the only person (other than a few of the Cutter Gap residents) who doesn't overact or seem fake in this movie. Maybe it's just hard for me to accept that different people are playing the beloved characters like Chirsty, and Miss Alice, etc. but I think I'm not alone when I say many of the characters didn't seem as realistic as they did in the series. The new Miss Alice probably seemed the most over-acted and fake out of everyone. Her "Thee's and thou's and thy's" just didnt cut it. However, all in all it was an excellent story and picks up where the series leaves off. The new Chirsty did a decent job (certainly better than I ever could) and it is worth buying or watching on television. I hope that PAX will create more "Christy" episodes, and even though I'm not really one for wholesome family television and christian shows, this really is a wonderful show for anyone.

Review: I loved the TV show and was disappointed when Pax stopped showing it and I was very happy when I heard that they were making new movies but unfortunately I have to say I was disappointed and couldn't get interested in this movie.

Summary: A tad disappointed
Review: The 1 star is for the cast who returned from the CBS series, especially Steward Finlay-McClennan's Dr. MacNeil! Having loved the series & the book, I was a bit disappointed with Lauren Lee Smith, Tyne Daly & Sam W. portrayals of key characters. The original series' cast (Kellie Martin, Tyne Daly & Randall Batinkoff) were much more realistic & believable (the movies sometimes had over-acting... ah, what could have been!). All in all, perhaps 'newbies' could start with the series before seeing the movies. For Christy fans who have a hard time swallowing Smith's performance over Kellie Martin's (or Miss Alice & David), I'd think twice before buying the movies.
