One Special Night
A very moving movie with James Garner and Julie Andrews. They make a great pair.James Garner found his serious side in this movie, I am used to him cracking jokes. If I thought he was a great actor before, after seeing this movie, he is great in all aspects of acting. I really believe he can do any kind of show he wants and come out on top. One of the top performers in my opinion. Julie Andrews was at her best in this one,she is a great actress but she really outdid herself in this one. This is a very heartwarming show, witch can make you cry, laugh and just plain feel good inside. I can understand how he felt with his kids being so concerned about him, with his wife in rest home suffering from Alzheimer's and the terrible sadness that goes along with seeing a loved one suffer so long. Julie Andrew as a pediatric cardiologists. A very touching movie. It has it all, sadness, a life that is full of health issues, laughs, and love. What more could a person want in a movie.
This is tops on my list of movies to own. We watch it over and over.
A classic.

DVD Review: Charming Romance
Summary: 5 Stars
The most charming video with such wonderful actors will capture your heart. It is on my top three favorites list. James Garner & Julie Andrews are the perfect cast. All supporting actors are equally as good. The story line is warm & interesting & will make you want to replay it over again. The filming is well done & the scenery is beautiful. No place does winter better than Canada. One of my favorites to give as a gift.DVD Review: Excellent Acting Not Enough to Save this Movie
Summary: 2 Stars
There were so many positive ratings for this movie and we don't understand how that could be the case????
PLOT OF MOVIE - This movie is about a man named Robert (James Garner) who is married to a woman with Alzheimer's. He is visiting her in a rest home when he is snowed in and a woman Katherine (Julie Andrews) a widower offers him a ride home in her vehicle. Robert is very disagreeable and rude.
Robert was an arrogant, grumpy man, a chauvinist who complains incessantly. Katherine is an independent, intelligent, and successful woman doctor. Where is the common ground? Why do they go from hating each other to love? The script did not address this.
PLUSES - Both leading actors are believable in the roles they act. We have enjoyed James Garner and Julie Andrews in many acting roles; unfortunately, this is not the case here. Despite their excellent acting it was not enough to save this movie.
MINUSES - Script, plot and character development. They could have had something special here, but, they missed the mark completely. They could have explored the difficulties of loosing a spouse to Alzheimer's or the difficulties of life as a widower. There are a lot of emotions that could have been explored to give this movie purpose and depth, but, were not utilized. James Garner's character in the movie NOTEBOOK is much better.
The character of Robert was so rude and disagreeable and then him falling in love with Katherine with his wife suffering from Alzheimer's and in the rest home for only a short time (his daughters discuss that their mom has gotten "bad" for the past FOUR months) makes his character non endearing.
CONCLUSION - We would pass on this movie. If you are looking for a good HOLIDAY ROMANCE MOVIE than I would recommend looking at:
A HOLIDAY FOR LOVE with Melissa Gilbert and Tim Matheson or
THE CHRISTMAS CARD with John Newton, Alice Evans and Edward Asner or
A SEASON FOR MIRACLES(Hallmark) with Carla Gugino, David Conrad, Patty Duke, Lynn Redgrave, Laura Dern and Kathy Baker or
CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT with Barbara Stanwyck and Dennis Morgan.
If you are looking for a good movie about RELATIONSHIPS set at the HOLIDAY TIME than consider:
ONE TRUE THING(get the Kleenex) with Meryl Streep, Renee Zellweger, William Hurt or
ABOUT A BOY with Hugh Grant, Rachel Weisz or
THE ULTIMATE GIFT with JAMES GARNER, Brian Dennehy, Abigail Breslin, Drew Fuller, & Bill Cobbs.
Description of One Special Night
Reunited for the first time since "Victor/Victoria," Academy Award winner Julie Andrews and Emmy Award winner James Garner portray two strangers who take refuge in a small cabin during a stormy winter night and, despite their differences, or because of them, they are undeniably drawn to one another in this holiday classic that demonstrates once again the charisma that has made them two of the world's most beloved stars.If the title It Happened One Night hadn't already been taken for Frank Capra's romantic comedy classic, it would've worked just as well for this holiday charmer. Catherine (Julie Andrews) is a widowed pediatric physician (with no children of her own) and Robert (James Garner) is a contractor with a wife suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Due to an accident of fate (a winter storm), they end up spending Thanksgiving together in an abandoned cabin, away from their family and friends. The two initially wary strangers soon find they have more in common than either could have anticipated. The subplot concerning Robert's adult daughters is fairly extraneous (and predictable) but doesn't distract from the tender relationship at the heart of this made-for-TV movie. Andrews and Garner have worked together before, in The Americanization of Emily and Victor/Victoria, and it shows in the chemistry generated by their sympathetic, believable performances. --Kathleen C.
