Great family Flick
lrputt19 August 2005
I had the opportunity to watch "When Love Walks In" at the Vickers Theater in Three Oaks Michigan. Before the showing, both the Brothers Williamson were outside of the theater greeting guests. After everyone was seated, Brad Williamson got on stage and introduced the movie.

The plot of "When Love Walks In" is not new, however it is refreshing. The Brothers Williamson pledge that their production company will make family oriented movies and they have lived up to that pledge with "When Love Walks In." The acting was refreshing with Savannah Grace stealing the show. Savannah Grace was three years old when the film was shot and it is very easy to fall in love with her in this movie. The lead actor, Kent Williamson, seems uneasy in front of the camera in the first few scenes. However, as the plot moves along Williamson seems to be more comfortable and relaxed and does a great job. Maggie Jones plays the love interest and although she is extremely beautiful, her voice was soft, and at times, I had to strain to hear what she was saying. The supporting actors that played the mother and father parts were excellent.

My fifteen-year-old daughter said she liked the movie and that makes two of us. An added bonus occurred after the showing. Brad and Kent Williamson, along with Savannah Grace, took to the stage and talked about the trails and tribulations of making a film, and then answered questions. Then they showed some blooper scenes that made the audience laugh. Overall, a very enjoyable movie and I highly recommend it.

Great family film with some real life exchanges
Drneal26 July 2005
The movie presents a great premise as well as real life situations and interchange. Being a man, the exchange between John and Anna was classic in the quest to find out the status of their relationship. It definitely highlights the difference between the sexes - caused some raucous discussion in our group. I had to adjust to the use of fewer angles and frequency of shots. It is not the new image every 3 seconds like Star Wars but more like the older generation of film that depends on the facial expression and sometimes pauses to get the emotion across. It is a good theme to use and discuss with children the impact of the death of a parent. Sometimes the plot was slow, and some scenes could have used more intensity of emotion. The scenes with Sierra were unrehearsed and very genuine. I can see why she would receive recognition.
