Featured review
Christmas at a castle in Scotland...totally worth seeing with reunited Party of Five siblings.
I have nothing but nice things to say about this Hallmark holiday film. I am loving these excursions into foreign locales and the sharing of other culture's holiday traditions...and this is no exception. In this film we travel to Scotland for a Christmas with siblings Brad and Lindsay.
They arrive at the fictional Glenncraig, or the lovely and very real Duns Castle which was used in the filming, at their mother's invitation. What they don't know is their mother was meant to be the Duchess there as first born and Lady Josephine. A role that she ran away from to go to America where she became Brad and Lindsay's mother. Her brother, Danny, became the Duke in her absence. Unfortunately, Duke Daniel has recently passed away, leaving the castle and estate to his absent sister and potentially Brad and Lindsay.
It was fun seeing some Scottish Christmas traditions with the bonfire to celebrate the Christmas solstice, the Shetland ponies, the banquet and ball...The dancing, the kilts, the Scotch.
"An enchanting time and place, the romance, the history, the moors, Glenncraig is straight out of a fairytale at Christmas time."-Mac
This was a story about family and home. I thought it was a beautiful touch to use Michael Buble's song "Home" at a key point towards the end. It was fun to see the reunion of two Party of Five members, reunited as siblings again. The real revelation however is the Scottish actor James Robinson, who played the castle estate manager Mac Bell. Perfect for the role of a romantic lead, he is handsome and his Scottish burr really added a note of authenticity to the film (along with the proper Scottish pronunciations!). Kellie Blaise was also a nice addition to the cast as Sarah Morgan, Brad's wife. What lovely hair she has. Gerry O'Brien, was perfect as the voice of reason Graeme Stewart. The surprise appearance by Will Kemp for a dance with Lacy Chabert, was fun especially in light of their co-starring in Hallmark's Dancing Detective series.
This is a film I would recommend to anyone who likes to armchair travel and who is a fan of Christmas and family. (Also I might recommend this to Party of Five fans who might get a kick out of the Scott Wolf-Lacey Chabert reunion.)
