Christmas in Conway is about a loving husband, Duncan who brings home his terminally ill wife, Suzy to be with those who love her . She wants no more treatment for her illness. A young health carer, Natalie, whom the wife calls, Pretty Lady, helps taking care of her and to console a saddened and grumpy husband who would give the world to have her happy until the end. I've been an avid fan of Andy Garcia since I've seen him starring in When a man loves a Woman for the very first time. I loved him for the way he portrayed the hurt and distressed husband of a wife who abused alcohol. Although I've also thought of him as being very good looking, I adored his talent and tried to see all his work over the years. I have seen mostly dramas done by him as well as comedy, which I have also enjoyed immensely. A dear friend surprised me with a wonderful gift, when I received a DVD of Christmas in Conway in the mail recently. Starring my beloved Andy Garcia as well as Mandy Moore and Mary Louise Parker. What a delightful evening I had. Watching this Jewel of a movie with loved ones. Although it was very sad, I had some good laughs as well! Needless to say, I started to cry early on in the movie, which ended in loud sobs. No shame here! I enjoyed this beautiful and heartwarming story as never before. What I loved most,is the way the ending was done. Beautifully done by the producer, in my opinion! Quite unexpected, because I thought it was going to end in a different way, at a 'most awaited' moment towards the end. Wow! Is about all I can say! Andy has aged, like all people do, but he still has the amazing talent and ability to charm this lady's heart in a very nice way. And make my heart skip a beat or two, with his good looks. Be kind to yourself and find a way to see this awesome, wonderful and wholesome movie with a dear friend or even a granddaughter often years old. I'm going to watch it again and a again and again.

This was very good, a little heartbreaking if I'm honest but I appreciated that it wasn't the usual cheesy or corny Christmas movie. A surprisingly great cast here too; Andy Garcia, is fantastic, Mandy Moore, very believable as the home care nurse and Mary-Louise Parker is suitably sick. They all do a great job telling the story of a grumpy (heartbroken) man who goes about building a Ferris wheel for his ailing wife in their backyard as a reminder of the night he proposed to her.There are some very heartfelt moments here and a bit of a romance hinted at between Moore and the landscaper which is left a little vague. I could have done without the brief attempts at humour from the neighbourhood Grinch woman and the cowboy junkyard man. A beautiful ending here too which at first left me surprised -what, that's it? Because I was so engrossed in the story. But then when I thought about it I realized I didn't really need to see anymore. 12/22/14

I love love love this movie. It's not the usual "cheery Santa Claus Christmas movie" It's a heartwarming classic! All the characters portrays the many different kinds of people there is that makes this world. I would watch this over and over. Hallmark has really done it this time with this awesome movie! It had laughter with the nosey-rosey high end neighbor, the cranky man, the lovable hospice nurse, and the bad-turn-good youth kid to the sheriff whom had a heart. I love love love this movie, I wish it never ended or a sequel to it. Such an awesome true love Christmas movie! Thank you Hallmark! Thank you to the awesome cast as well.

I live 20 mins from Family Kingdom and it was the real Amusement Park, I agree with you that Moncks Corner is not a short drive from Myrtle Beach. Also I agree that the RiverWalk was not given justice, The RiverWalk is a pleasant place to visit and was obviously not the same one in the movie. With that said it was nice to see that South Carolina (Grandstrand) was the setting for a Christmas movie. I would rate the movie 9 from a scale for 1-10. I was saddened to see that all the details wasn't exact but movies are based in towns all across America and are obviously not filmed in the exact town there based on simply due to the fact for permits and etc.
