Randy Travis New Movie ‘Christmas on the Bayou’ Reviews and Health Update

Randy Travis’ new movie Christmas on the Bayou debuted this past Saturday on Lifetime. The reviews are in and they are less than impressive. Meanwhile, the singer’s website has broken its silence regarding his health update. Could this mean the Travis’s condition is finally starting to improve?

Randy Travis is one of the most influential voices in country music, but that isn't his only talent. Travis is also an accomplished actor. Travis’ most recent cross-platform performance was in the Lifetime original film, Christmas on the Bayou. The new movie, filmed before Travis’ near-death health scare, debuted this past Saturday on Lifetime. Where many fans were happy to see the singer in better spirits many reviews from the film have be been mixed at best.

A large portion of the fans responding to reports on this website have been highly critical of the film's authenticity, with one guest commenting:

Christmas on the Bayou.....this is not how the people in St. Martinville, Louisiana live or talk this is not what I was expecting. This is Hollywood La not the Boot.....ok..”

A second guest added:

“Where is the rice dressing, the real creole people.....this is to FAKE.....if you ever visited St.Martinville, LA the Boot.....you know that this is not real....????????’

However, most guests did seem to praise Travis’ performance in the film. One reader, going by the name Cheryl, commented:

“I have just seen Christmas on the Bayou. The best surprise I could ever have wished for was seeing Randy Travis!! I had no idea he was in this movie. I live in Canada and have never been to the Bayou. I have been very concerned about his progress after all he has gone through. He appeared in Kamloops, BC and we loved him! Randy don't give up and remember your fans want to walk alongside of you so if you can please let us.”

Meanwhile, Travis website, RandyTravis.com has broken its silence on the superstar. The site previously removed all updates regarding his health. Now the site has started posting again.
