Simply A Masterpiece

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Fantastic!

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Michael Landon Jr., you've done it again! I viewed this movie with a friend expecting The Dumpies, but I was PLEASANTLY surprised! I can't remember enjoying a movie so much since Bambi was released on VHS! This is definitely a film that will be added to my "For A Good Watch" only shelf! MAJOR props to all the superb actors! Note: If you like movies filled with all the nasty gore and foul language, then this is definitely NOT for you! This movie is for people with higher standards and more cultured tastes. I am not even an old, Mennonite mom trying to preach, I'm just stating the facts... and trying to make this review ten lines long........

Well as with all of the movies they have made so far with this series this movie was the most disappointing. If any one has read the books they would know that the first movie was off a little which is to be expected when a movie is based off an book. But, the this one was so off the story line it was maddening. If you changed the names of the characters and the name of the movie it would be hard to relate this movie to the book. They have cut out key characters, mainly the rest of Clark and Marty's children. And the plot line is nothing like the book. While the movie itself was good and enjoyable, my knowing the story made it hard to watch how far strayed from this series. There really is no way to even come back again, as shown in the next two movies. The writers are rewriting the story and ruining it.

The only things that I did not like is that when the movie was made, they changed the names of too many characters. In book, Marty's husband's name was Clem. Sarah was actually Ma Graham. Also, Missie was only 2 years old when Clark and Marty married, and the baby that was born, his name was Clare. Other than that, is was very close to the book, by Janette Oke. I really enjoyed watching this movie with my Mum and sister. We(mum and I) have read the books over and over again. We could not believe that somebody had made it into a movie. We hope that they will do the whole series. I can't wait until Love's Abiding Joy comes to Hallmark.

I thought the movies were great and I think the books are awesome I would recommend if you haven't seen the movies yet you should read the books first. I hope they do continue they movies I think they would turn out as great successes to the film industry and I think it would make all of the people who have seen Love Comes Softly and Loves Enduring Promise a lot happier for the sequels to the movies. For those who follow my suggestion and read the books before watching the movies here is a list of the books. Love Comes Softly, Loves Enduring Promise, Loves Long Journey, Loves Abiding Joy, Loves Unending Legacy, Loves Unfolding Dream, Love Takes Wing, Love Finds a Home
