A Godwink Christmas: Second Chance, First Love (3) (2020) -

Sam Page is definitely one of the better leading men in these made for TV Christmas films and as Pat in this one he was no exception. I think that he lead this one for me, although it was supposed to be Brooke D'Orsay as Margie (Weird name for her character), she was okay too I suppose, but perhaps a little bit vacant? I did like Pat's Mum, Lois though. I think that I've seen her as a battle axe in something else, but she was just what a Granny should be at Christmas in this one.

The story was very sweet, as the previous two "Godwink" films have been and I liked the fact that the "God" contribution could just have easily been a Pixie or Magic Elf, without it getting too Bible bashy. Of course I do realise that Christmas started in a stable years ago, according to the scriptures that is, but I prefer to enjoy the kindness and family gatherings that the season brings.

I don't need to be preached at through the medium of TV and I've turned off numerous films that pile it on too thick, so it was good that this one worked so nicely, with just a simple reference to the big man, whilst focussing on the romance, the family time and it's importance.

It was the standard formula that all of these films follow, but it was one of the ones that were done well and Sam Page was sexy as.

6.5/10.
