Diagonaldi Very well executed

LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Jenna (hayden-panettiere-ukfan) I have seen this movie twice now, and think it is so touching and brilliant, it brings tears to my eyes every time. The closeness of Julia and Amy is beautiful, and I find myself crying at the screen at Amy's hardships, and at times, such as when Buddy takes Amy's dog, I can't watch because it's too painful. But that only goes to show how well acted it is.The performance shown by both Kimberley Williams and Amanda and Caitlin Fein is outstanding, as is Alexa's performance. The bond that develops between Amy and Dianne is also beautiful, and unforgettable.Seeing this has made me want to read the novel, and I would definitely recommend everyone saw this movie.

Ebonyfire While on the surface this seems like a 'girl marries wrong guy' movie, it truly is so much more. The storyline moves a bit too fast, so you must pay attention...very close attention.After Dianne and Mark find out their baby will be born with genetic disorders, Mark wants to abort the pregnancy; Dianne refuses - Mark takes off. Evidently Mark has unresolved issues about his mother's death in a hospital - but the movie gives very few details or background, so Mark doesn't generate any sympathy from the viewer.If only he were more like his brother, David (the excellent Campbell Scott) - the soft-spoken, long-suffering doctor who keeps his love for Dianne to himself while helping her to take care of his niece.The supporting cast is very good, especially Alexa Vega. The ending is a real tear-jerker (get the tissues ready), and my favorite part of the movie.Some people don't care for these simple movies about triumphing over adversity, but I think it's wonderful - and you will too.

TxMike Typical for Hallmark presentations, this rather simple story could have been told in a 30-minutes film short, but was stretched to occupy the 2-hour TV broadcast (with commercials). Kimberly Williams (of Father of the Bride fame) plays Dianne, a single enterprising carpenter in town. During the first 8 minutes of the movie, she meets, falls in love with, marries, and gets pregnant with Mark, the brother of the town doctor David McCune, played ably by Campbell Scott. Then, when clinical tests indicate that the baby will be defective and partially disabled, Mark skips out. So the main of the movie is how Dianne and her support group (mom, friends, Doctor David, etc) deal with the daughter. Alexa Vega, about the same time that she appeared in Spy Kids, plays the young girl who befriends the daughter.SPOILERS FOLLOW. It is clear from the very beginning that David, the Doctor, had feelings for Dianne and was distraught when his brother met her and quickly swept her away. With untrustworthy brother Mark gone for years, he is able to stay friends with Dianne. When the daughter is about 6 or 7, an accident injures Dianne, and a phone call brings Mark back. He learns that his daughter may only live a few more months, and tries to get his wife back. But she is wise to him, in the end Doctor David proposes and they are destined to be happy together.
