Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
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!
edwagreen Excellent picture describing the mores of another time in America.When the film began, I actually thought it was taking place around 1839 even as I saw the train riding through Colorado. I was floored when it's shown as July, 1944. We're in rural Colorado, as the war is winding down (hopefully) and Franklin Roosevelt will defeat Thomas Dewey that November and win a 4th, but all too brief term.That being said, the film describes an educated woman in graduate school who becomes pregnant from a pilot. Her erudite father, in disgrace, sends her off to Colorado to marry a young farmer, whose brother was killed at Pearl Harbor and parents who died shortly afterward.The story shows how 2 kind people fall in love. What makes this so good is that we're basically dealing with 2 very good people, with no airs about themselves whatsoever.One problem with the film might have been that a nearby Japanese internment camp shows that 2 young Japanese girls can come and go freely as they want. Am sure this wasn't the case. Yet, the general theme of the movie is well handled and true love is a many splendid thing.
Kwantic In a day and age when movies are often filled with profanity, sexual content, and violence, along comes a gem like this one. The whole family can watch this film without worrying about "content". Skeet Ulrich and Keri Russell do a wonderful job acting in this movie, and the supporting cast is excellent. The story revolves around a young women (Russell), who's pregnant out of wed lock, and is forced into an arranged marriage with a farmer (Ulrich), during World War II. This movie also teaches a few life lessons, such as forgiveness, and the difference between sex and love. An enjoyable way to spend a hour and a half of you're time. You won't regret watching this film.
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.
