This is the third Walton’s Reunion movie. In this one, most of the family has split up and hardly anyone is planning on coming home for Thanksgiving. Elizabeth is dead set on bringing people together so the family tries to bring it together as a gift for Elizabeth. John tries to get everyone rounded up, and one by one they begin to arrive. John-Boy (Played in this movie by Robert Wightman) is suffering from writer’s block in New York, and looking for inspiration. Erin and Paul are newlyweds and anxious to move out of the Walton Homestead for good. Jason is a struggling musician looking for a break.
This is a typical Walton’s story and nothing much more. That’s enough, if you’re a fan of the clan. It’s good to see them growing up and moving on with their lives. It’s a good family values story (as all Walton’s stories are), and a nice Thanksgiving special. You’ll find it on TV around Thanksgiving, and if you’re a Walton’s fan and want some nostalgia for an hour and a half, check this one out. It’s a delightful trip down memory lane with the Walton clan.
