Christmas Lodge (2011 TV Movie)
7/10
Nice to see Michael Shanks
12 December 2022
Being big fans of Stargate SG-1, we were happy to see Michael Shanks in a subsequent role. He's a good actor with a gentle touch, and brought the same approach to this role.

Here we have an almost abandoned guest lodge in the mountains falling into ruin while the last remaining son in the line falls increasingly behind trying to make needed repairs. While on a weekend getaway, a woman whose family used to stay at the lodge happens across it and decides to help get funding for its restoration. By coincidence (wink wink) she happens to work for a foundation which provides funding to save historic buildings important to towns and cities.

The movie has plenty of affinity building scenes and the details about restoring the property actually make sense. Sometimes writers write these things without a clue, but not here.

It gets a bit sentimental, but it's a nice watch.
