A Tremendous Delight

The three part "Christy" series starring Lauren Lee Smith was phenomenal! I've read the prior reviews and honestly I think it all depends on how you approach the new series. In my mind, Lauren Lee Smith, was the perfect Christy. Physically she fit the part far better than Kellie Martin did. The chemistry Lauren shared with both of her male co-stars is entirely evident. After viewing this series, I became interested in watching the original "Christy" series starring Kellie Martin, which I had viewed two or three episodes years ago. I just didn't find Kellie Martin as interesting to watch in the role of Christy. Her chemistry with Dr. Neil was not obvious. To be honest, their substanial height difference bothered me. To me, Lauren Lee Smith, fit the part much better. You can believe the attraction between Christy and Dr. Neil. Since Dr. Neil is played by the same actor in both series, I've deduced that Lauren Lee Smith was simply a better choice to play Christy. I just don't think I would have been as impressed by this series with Kellie Martin resuming the role of Christy. Therefore, I am happy that it worked out that new actors in the roles of Christy and David Grantland needed to be cast, because I think the series was made much better for it. My recommendation is to give this new installment a try, especially if your mind is open to viewing a new and better Christy in the title role.

Christy

Out of the three Christy movies done starring Laurn Lee Smith, this one is the best. It's a good movie. I thought Lauren Lee Smith did a good job. The only problem was she wasn't the Christy we started out with and know and love. Kellie Martin did a great job as Christy. She and Stewart Finlay McLennan had great chemistry. If the series had starred Lauren Lee Smith as Christy from the beginning, the movies would have gone over a lot better, I think. I did not like the woman who played Miss Alice. Yuck. The guy who played the preacher did pretty well. The woman who played Fairlight-- she was okay, but you can't hardly replace main characters. Watching the new movies was almost like watching a totally different story. Since almost none of the orginal actors and actresses (save Stewart Finlay McLennan/ Doctor MacNeil) it was hard to take as an end to Christy. I enjoyed Doctor MacNeil. : ) He is a good actor and did well with Lauren Lee Smith. I do like Lauren Lee Smith, too. She just didn't start out as Christy.
We get to know who Christy chooses to marry in this movie and that's great. She picks the right man. :p Christy also kept her relationship with God in the movies, which I was glad to see. It's a romantic, adventurous movie and it's decent-- it won't burn your eyes or make you blush. Give it a try.
