With a successful career in the wine business, two amazing children and having married his high-school sweetheart Suzie Maxwell, Andrew Austin has everything. But life and a past secret bring change and in an instant. Life no longer has the order and gentleness it once held. Suzie falls extremly ill and as Andrew struggles to find answers, his children Chris and Mary quietly search for their own. Facing a hectic holiday season, Andrew and family retreat to their summer home on Lake Erie to celebrate their last Christmas in peace. Away from the demands of the city, their world opens up to a moment in time they will never experience again as their small lakeside community brings them new wonderments. Christmas at Maxwell's is an inspirational romantic drama, a love story about human struggle, the power of forgiveness and unending faith in the beauty of life. [More]

Reviews for Christmas at Maxwell's
Christmas at Maxwell's may be 'inspirational,' but it's far from entertaining.
A rare example of truly independent filmmaking, not only because of the way it was produced, but because it makes no effort to mimic the attitudes and style of contemporary mainstream Hollywood films.
