Hoping it will be the perfect Christmas present for his wife (Mary-Louise Parker), a man (Andy Garcia) plans to construct a Ferris wheel in his backyard. However, the neighbors and townspeople of this quiet Southern town are quick to object.
Mesmerizing performances by both Parker and Garcia transform what could have been a trite script into something truly heartfelt, and Moore holds her own between these Hollywood heavyweights.
Christmas In Conway doesn't get into the emotional landscape of the town as much as you might expect from the title-it's comfortable just alluding to the well-worn territory of neighborhood drama.
