Watch The Bridge For Free

Powerful

best movie i've ever seen.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The movie receives the worst rating possible because it is not a complete movie. Without any prior warning in repeat performances, the movie ends with "to be continued". (I don't know if there was warning when it was first broadcast.) While this is done in some regular TV shows, or in mini-series, I believe it is unprecedented in a full two hour TV-movie where the continuation is not shown until a year later. In TV shows, one at least learns to be wary of such things and hopefully the conclusion is not delayed too long. In a mini-series, it is usually obvious. I consider this irresponsible broadcasting and I'm really glad I never saw this until it was shown with the sequel immediately following it. Hopefully, no one finds a DVD somewhere with only the one movie without realizing it is a two part story.I also feel justified in rating it poorly because it is incomplete as it stands. I am posting a review of the complete two part story under Part 2.

because there is NO ENDING. This is episode 1 of 2, and we have to wait until Christmas 2016 for part two. My advice...wait until Jan 2017 and watch BOTH episodes (and hope that by then, episode 2 of 2 hasn't morphed into episode 2 of 3. There is NO ENDING. This is episode 1 of 2, and we have to wait until Christmas 2016 for part twoMy advice...wait until Jan 2017 and watch BOTH episodes (and hope that by then, episode 2 of 2 hasn't morphed into episode 2 of 3.If this is the kind of "Christian" deception that we can expect from this "Christian Author", I want no more. Karen Kingsbury wraps herself on the fabric of Christianity as an excuse to steal her viewers trust and good will. I will no longer play that game.

Bad movie and then to find out that it is continued Christmas 2016-wth; Poor writing, slow plot and mediocre acting and I have watched 3/4 of it before, I learned of the year long continuation. Bah humbug. Relationship between parents and children are skewered and the main characters are immature and lacking in depth. I could have written this. The entire premise is just naive. Then it just ends with "to be continued!" That is the spoiler. I usually like Christmas movies, but this year they seem to have been written at a level of most modern romance magazine stories. There is no substance and the dialogue is shallow and weak. This one shows people getting over tragedies in life with little effort and acting as role models in a multicultural Nashville, that never was. Characters have no integrity, courage and no insight. Life lesson are just not there and there is nothing that has to do with the meaning of Christmas.

This movie was a profound disappointment. First, let's not call it a movie. It's really a series but one doesn't find this out until the final frame...to be continued--Christmas 2016? After resisting throwing something at the TV, I just shouted, "Are you kidding me?" What's bad about that, one might ask. Seeing series/episode 2 requires one to have some continuity from season one, something which is possible only if one can remember details from such a horrid production. Completely forgettable and worse, completely dishonest.Not only are we tricked when a conclusion is stolen, unresolved, empty, i.e. postponed for a year, but we have to suffer through such preachy dialog. Stupidly, I watched and waited for something worthy to happen. Maybe after this commercial, I told myself.The synopsis was misleading too. I reread the synopsis a dozen times, thinking someone was asleep at the keyboard, confusing it with another movie. Where's the rescue? The bookstore isn't failing, it's thriving. Go figure. Where's the hometown? Sadly, nothing will save this mess.
