This was a reunion movie of the Walton's Mountain television show of the 70's. It was great to see Richard Thomas return to his role of John Boy. I thoroughly enjoyed the series as a child in the 70's. However, the movie is not the series. The writers have changed the show to make it fit into the politically correct world of today. It has Erin separated/divorced from her husband and other modern day overtures. There is no mention of John Curtis or of the youngest child of Ben. They seem to have forgotten them for this movie. However, loyal viewers of the original series will pick up on it. If you're looking for the same great television experience as was present in the series, you will be disappointed.
