Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
huggibear This was kind of a cool and different movie from Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. It was a newer movie, but dated back in the 1940's when Pearl Harbor was going down. I thought it was done very well considering today's filming of many decades ago. Nice job Hallmark Movies & Mysteries! 8 Stars from me!
ladylydiaspeaks My whole family enjoyed this film, immensely, especially, I think, because some of us can remember the era, with its cars, music, and clothing. The film represents everything that is wholesome and good about people, and I especially enjoyed watching respect between Livvy and Ray grow into love. It may not be considered one of the movie greats, but the greatness lies in the values it promotes, of honor and loyalty. My 22 year old son reluctantly sat down and watched it with me and couldn't be budged even to answer the phone. We all agreed it was nice to be drawn into a story without having our senses assaulted with unwanted coarseness or lewdness. Thanks, Hallmark.
susanxx The characters in this film are genuinely likable and apart from one uncharacteristic moment from Ray, the film shows warmth, love and sincerity without any violence. From the beginning all you want is for Ray to be loved like he obviously loves Livvy. It seems that he will have a long time to wait, but Livvy very gradually comes round to loving Ray, but along the way she also displays her love of life and all human beings without any racial prejudice, unlike some of the townspeople. The Japanese/Americans find a friend in Livvy and she treats them with respect and equality. They give something to each others lives in the time of WWII. Its a happy ending for everyone and a very enjoyable film to watch at any time. Make time to watch.
dewdevil Very touching story, excellent cast, intriguing plot. Generally I am not a fan of romantic movies, but this one is worth watching! The whole movie is so ordinary & unpretentious, yet so deep and catching!And Skeet "Psycho" Ulrich as a caring father & husband in rural environment - THAT is a must see for sure!!! :)My only regret is that there has not been a single love scene= And i've been waiting till the very end of the movie to see how the rising & burning feelings are being consumed - there could have been a kind of "physical culmination" of the whole mental and sentimental love, but alas... Altogether, you feel slightly unsatisfied at the end...pure, but unsatisfied.
