Can 3 Generations Discover Common Ground in 'Heritage Falls' - an INSP Original Movie

MOVIE REVIEW

Movie: Heritage Falls

Network: INSP

Original Air Date: October 16, 2016

*SCROLL DOWN BELOW TO SEE MY REVIEW!

CAST:

David Keith ... Coach Charlie Fitzpatrick
Coby Ryan McLaughlin ... Charles “Evan” Fitzpatrick Jr
Keean Johnson ... Mark “Markie” Fitzpatrick
Nancy Stafford ... Laura Fitzpatrick
Sydney Penny ... Heather Fitzpatrick
Devon Ogden ... Harriet “Harvey” Fitzpatrick
T. C. Stallings ... Principal Allen

PLOT:

via INSP:
"3 Men. 3 Generations. 3 Days in the Wilderness…

Seeking to heal a strained father-son relationship, basketball coach Charlie Fitzpatrick takes his son, Evan and grandson, Markie, to a rustic cabin to bond. Over three hilarious and soul-searching days, the men learn what it means to be a father, a son, a grandfather."


More via INSP:
"Charlie Fitzpatrick is the most successful high school basketball coach in Georgia history. While many of his players think of him as a father, his relationship with his own “bookworm” son, Evan, is strained.

With the help of his wife, Laura and Evan’s wife, Heather, Charlie determines the best way to connect and bond is to take his son and grandson, Markie, who has just announced he’s dropping out of college to tour with his folk band, to a rustic mountain cabin for a weekend retreat. Only this cabin is the same site where he took his many winning teams to test their mettle over a grueling military-style obstacle course, the same one Evan, as a student never got the chance to complete. This is Charlie’s idea of fun, Evan’s idea of a nightmare, and Markie’s idea of—well he’s young and idealistic; he’s just going with the flow.

Over the course of three days, through hilarious moments, soul-searching moments and one experience that frightens them all to the core, the men discover what it means to be a father, a son, a grandfather, how deeply their lives are entwined with each other—and just how similar they really are."

Movie Review:


Heritage Falls is a family adventure, that leads to new heights!

When 3 Generations spend 4 Nights in the Woods with 3 opposing views, 1 Cabin, 1 Bed, 1 wall to climb, and 1 Snake... what could possibly go… right?

The first generation: Charlie Fitzpatrick – Father, Grandfather, recently retired Coach. It’s obvious from the start, being a Basketball Coach has been his entire life. Why retire now?

The second generation: Charles “Evan” Fitzpatrick Jr. – 44 year old Son, Father, Owner of a book store. Evan, (who hates being called Jr.) always loved books, never measured up to his father’s athletic image. Why take this trip to the woods now?

The third generation: Mark “Markie” Fitzpatrick – Son, Grandson. 19 year old College Student. Markie wants to drop out of college, and become a musician, while his father insists he has to stay in school.

Is there any common ground to be found when these three pack up their bags and head to the woods on a hike up to Heritage Falls? A rough journey may be in store along the way for these three generations, who are at odds most of the trip.

Will 4 nights in the woods finally lead them to discover each other’s hearts and minds, any better? At times, yes, but then it seems something always divides them, again. Many past hurts resurface, as time doesn’t heal all wounds, but perhaps eventually understanding each other and accepting each other’s unique gifts and talents does.

Along the adventure, each begins to open up. Evan wants to know why, after all these years his father has taken interest in him. Heritage Falls was the sacred place he had always taken “his team.” The same basketball team Evan was made to join, then cut from, by his own father.

During a moment when they begin to open up, Charles (the coach) reveals his reason for retiring, which only brings more pain to his son, Evan, who seems to be trying very hard (as he has all his life) to please and bond with his father.

In the end, can peace be found at Heritage Falls? Will Charles and Evan finally reach new heights and understand one another? With encouragement from their spouses, and Evan’s mother, there may be hope, but will Markie defy his father, and decide to drop out of school to go out on the road and join his band? It’s a journey you will have to watch to see!

There’s an especially beautiful moment at the end, again another gesture from Evan, in his hopes to bond with his father… which is a lesson for all men, whether they are the father or the son- keep trying, keep loving, keep reaching out!!!

PLOT:

from Wikipedia:

Christmas has always been a exceptional time of love and tradition in the small town of Trapper Falls, Alaska. Hometown of Mayor Dan Reed (Ted McGinley) looks forward to each year with enthusiasm to all the events, friends and family that fill this special season. Together with his brother Greg (Brad Stine), they dedicate time away from their adventure tour company to drape the town is Christmas cheer.

When Dan's old high school rival Mitch Bright (Daniel Baldwin) returns home after 20 years, Dan is immediately suspicious. Mitch is a highly successful big city lawyer who has never wanted anything to do with Trapper Falls. The rivalry re-ignites when Mitch takes offense to seeing the town's flagrant violation of the constitution's Establishment clause. Mitch wants the Nativity scene removed from the front of City hall and more importantly the word Christmas switched to Happy Holidays on all signs.

Fifty years of tradition are now challenged not by an outsider but a former member of the community. As the conflict escalates it goes beyond one persons opinion but magnifies into an entire town problem when Mitch enters into the mayoral race to have Dan replaced.

In the heat of the legal battle and facing certain defeat, Dan's wife Kristen (Nancy Stafford) and their daughter Makayla (Francesca Derosa) wanting to show the true meaning of Christmas are inspired to launch a "Christmas with a Capital C" campaign as an effort to keep the town together.

In doing so they discover the secret behind Mitch's return but also reminds all of Trapper Falls that with the arrival of God's Son, peace on earth and good will was to be given to all; even those whose heart seem closed to him.

 



Movie Review:

This isn't your typical Christmas movie about Santa Claus or Reindeers, etc. This movie is actually about Christ!

Christmas with a Capital C is remarkable. All Christians should see this powerful and amazing film that shows Christians standing up for what they believe in. When Mitch Bright returns to his hometown he begins stirring up all kinds of trouble for his old high school rival, Dan Reed, who is the Town's Mayor and married to the woman Mitch also wanted. Now Mitch has decided to attack all Christians and their beliefs starting with Christmas and removing the town's nativity display that has stood in the town's square for many many years. Dan, as the mayor, is determined not to give up his beliefs and save the nativity display. It becomes increasingly harder to do when Mitch decides to run against Dan, for Mayor.

The Reed family stands even stronger together in their faith. Dan's brother, Greg, is very passionate about his Christian beliefs regarding Christmas and is quite vocal about his opinions wherever he is. He also gets his sweet niece Makayla involved, by having her dress up as an angel and sing Christmas Carols on the empty site where the nativity display should be. Mitch takes offense to this, as well, and has the police remove them.

Eventually, Dan's wife Kristen, and her daughter Makayla decide Christmas is about loving and giving to one another and sharing the love of Christ, instead of it being about a wooden display. They start showing Christ's love by giving to others and Makayla decides to bake Mitch some cookies. From there a secret is eventually revealed and everything begins to unravel one thread at a time.

It's a very intriguing family Christmas movie from beginning to end. Our family loved it!
