Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
ellenirishellen-62962 Have the series of movies on dvd.This movie started it all.Mike Landon Jr good director.Great acting.Maybe some expect a movie has to have profanity and sex and special effects to be watchable,but when that's your requirement,go to an amusement park or arcade because you're missing out on life.This movie holds my interest from start to finish because it tells an honest story about characters who are worth caring about.Loved seeing the third generation Macready gentleman here,Oliver Macready.Loved Dale and Corbin!
juneebuggy This was like watching a Hallmark version of Little House On The Prairie, which is exactly what it is. Its good though and I ended up really enjoying it. I went in expecting a cheese-fest but got all caught up in the 1800's frontier drama and romance -as with all Hallmarky type stuff, it sucked me right in.Directed by Michael Landon Jr, it's a family drama following a newly widowed frontier woman who enters into a marriage of convenience with a widower who gives her a home and a place to have her unborn child in exchange for tutoring his troubled young daughter.There's a nice second-chance-at-love romance, an interesting (if predictable) story with a good cast and decent acting all round. There are some religious undertones but nothing in your face. I'm going to have to check out the rest of this "Love" series. 03.12.14 "Love isn't always fireworks, sometimes love just comes softly."
skoczyfb This movie packed a lot of punch for a quiet movie. Katherine Heigl is mesmerizing as a pioneer woman widowed on the trail. And Dale is superb as the pious widowed farmer who takes her in as a companion and teacher to his annoying rude daughter. But Heigl wins over the young girl and somehow over the course of the film, Katherine & Dale fall in love in a very heartwarming and tender manner. The movie will take you by surprise if you have not heard of it before hand. It is full of an unexpected richness of heart and character. The supporting actors who play their neighbors were wonderful. The ending is sufficiently exciting and satisfying to wrap up this terrific story. I was deeply moved by their love for each other. The only thing missing was a little more physical contact between the two leads. They never so much as kissed each other or put their hands on each other. I would have liked to see a bit more chemistry. Also recommended: THE OUTSIDER with Naomi Watts & Tim Daly.
Lelani Borner This is a good wholesome movie that doesn't have cursing, violence, or bad music.I haven't seen a "GOOD" movie like this in a LONG time. (Maybe since Little House on the Prairie.) I couldn't wait to put the next one in.They had me crying and laughing. This is an excellent movie from a series of 3 or more. Why don't they make more movies like this instead of the GARBAGE they make today? You wonder why people are the way they are THESE days... People/children LEARN what they SEE. I HIGHLY recommend this series, it is awesome.
