GetPapa Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Carol Rogers I lost my IMDb sign in and can not seem to find my review for this movie! So, having watched it again now I just have to say what a wonderful movie this is! Betty White is superb! Also, Jennifer Love Hewitt gives a wonderful performance! I love Hallmark movies because they just seem to have such enjoyable stories and terrific actors that bring them to life! Having said this, sometimes they can be a little over the top and maybe pour on the sentiment too strongly where I catch myself rolling my eyes. But, I am most often moved to tears or find myself laughing out loud. This film is one of the more touching ones. It really got me the first time and after watching again I felt moved enough to sign on here again to write this review.

Yasmine Sabek This is my first review, and the one reason i'm actually writing this review is to express how much i absolutely adored this movie. i bawled my eyes out, cried rivers to say the least, over at least most of the 2nd half of this movie. Betty white is fantastic, you can sense the emotion going through her face, and billy magnussen also surprises me by delivering very well on his part. the scenes of them falling in love warms the heart, only to break it when we learn the truth at the end. it kinda reminds me of pearl harbour, and it surprises me how this movie is a little on the unknown side. Jennifer love Hewitt and Sean Faris make an interesting modern romance to compliment the hard core my-husband-is-off-to-battle kind of love. my only critique of this movie would be the fact that they used the song "dream a little dream of me" which i instantly recognized as being a song not produced till years after WWII (yes, i realized before reading the goofs of this movie :P ), but regardless it fits the scenario beautifully (and i can't say i don't love the Doris day song!) in conclusion, this is an absolutely terrific movie, casting especially was great, and if you're reading this before you see the movie, be prepared to end up puffy eyed after this.

tavm After several months of sitting in my DVR, I finally decided to watch this "Hallmark Hall of Fame" movie that stars Jennifer Love Hewitt and Betty White. Ms. White is Caroline Thomas, an elderly woman who-despite her Navy husband declared missing since World War II-still waits for him to return at the Union Station after about 60 years. Ms. Hewitt plays a reporter named Susan Allison assigned to cover her story. I'll stop there and just say how excellent Ms. White is in her performance. It's probably because of her that I found myself crying several times during the film. Ms. Hewitt, who's also an executive producer, isn't too bad on her end though sometimes I think her character can get a little annoying. Still, she holds her own when she's with Ms. White. I also loved the actors that played Caroline as a young woman and her husband Neil. And Sean Faris is okay as Ms. White's grandson and potential love interest for Ms. Hewitt. And dig the vintage music from the likes of The Ink Spots, The Mills Brothers, and Louis Armstrong! All in all, a nearly excellent picture presented by the producers of "Hallmark Hall of Fame". So on that note, I highly recommend The Lost Valentine. P.S. Was interested enough to watch the Hallmark commercials-both classic and current-spread throughout especially the one from 1967.

petlover516 Saddest movie I've ever seen. Betty White's best acting. Yu think of her as the funny girl from Golden Girls, but no, she can be real dramatic when she needs to be. Jennifer L.H, also did great, and so did the rest of the actors. I hope that Betty White will stay around longer to be in more serious movies, but I have a feeling that 2011 will be her year(notice how the golden grils are dieing in a row). At least she did perfect in this movie. At least the super bowl will be coming soon, and we're sure to see more of her. I do hope to see more of Jennifer Love, too. She was the perfect actor for a reporter, and whoever played Betty's character's husband was pretty good, too.
