Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I haven't seen many movies worse than this one. The story line, the dialogues, the acting: it's horror! The story just jumps from a to b to c without any logical steps in between. Every time you think you've missed something, but no: that was the way it was intended to be. And why on earth is the character that Jenny Garth portrays so in love with that no-no loser guy (who actually now plays in the movie Cinderella Man with Russel Crow!)? O well, it's no Spielberg, of course... I have to write ten lines to get posted. This movie really isn't inspiring enough to write 10 lines! It's a romantic feel good movie with a lousy story, so if you're up for that: you'll have a ball.

This TV movie mostly takes place in time-span between the 1960s and the early 80s but you wouldn't know it from watching this film about the enduring love between a simple-minded farm-girl Crystal (Jennie Garth) and a returning soldier with political ambitions, Specer ( Craig Bierko). What I found odd about this film was the lack of attention to historical detail.It feels as if it was meant to be done in the late 80s. The nostalgia of 60s and 70s is not present and for this reason the film feels strangely out of time. Jennie Garth's appearance does not change - not even her hair! She looks as young as she did in the beginning, while her co-star Craig Bierko is given specs to make him look older. It's hard to invest in the story because it's obvious what is going to happen, but what did you expect with Danielle Steele? Moreover, the film feels rushed. It's economical with time transitions and I do not believe Spencer failed to contact Crystal for 5 years, even though she was pregnant with his child. The same could be said for Crytsal. The happy ever after rural idyll presented at the end strains credulity too. Why wasn't Spencer angry with Crystal for not telling him about his son? The darker elements presented elsewhere are negated. Spencer's wife played by Terry Farrel vowed revenge on Crystal. That promise was never fulfilled and thus the dramatic impetus the film promises fails to materialize. Although the film is disappointing on many levels Garth, Bierko and Farrell rise above the stilted script and deliver watchable performances. It's just a pity the whole project had a sense of unfulfilled promise. Maybe it should have been a mini series instead.

I'm not a fan of Jennie Garth's anyway and when I watched this movie it was with strain. Most of the scenes were silly like all of a sudden Ernie was murdered and they didn't investigate further. He didn't have any other enemies unless I've missed something. I guess it was a lame way of Spencer entering back into Crystal's life because like Elizabeth said, he isn't that type of lawyer. Last but not least the part at the end how he discovered that Zeb was his son. For all he knew Crystal could have gotten pregnant by someone else after he left-it could happen you know! A lot of time and money wasted on this one.

It's schmaltzy, but then what else did you expect? The heroine is Cinderella's younger sister complete with wicked mother, sister, and brother-in-law; the hero (if you can call him that) is an ineffectual putz; and the rival love interests are full of melodramatic villainy.The cast, settings, and wardrobe were all very attractive, and I thought the actors did a superb job considering how weak the material was. The movie was prettily filmed and boasted a soundtrack that was carefully crafted to cue the viewer about what emotions he should be experiencing throughout. Megon McDonough sang sweetly and provided the film with some of its best moments.If you love Danielle Steel, you will love this film. If you love archetypal romance, you will love this film. I did not. I was able to sit through it, but it was close.
