ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

bkoganbing Both newly divorced Lori Loughlin and her small son Charles Henry Wyner are moving west to live with grandmother Stefanie Powers who looks mighty good for a grandma. Both have some adjusting to do, Loughlin at a new job and Wyner with a new school and no friends. But a teacher's assignement to write to a soldier whose unit is headquartered at nearby Fort Sebastian, but whose unit is on peacekeeping duty in Kosovo starts a nice change of events. The soldier is Sgt. Johnny Messner who's had his own relationship problems, but the unit is recalled back to their base at Fort Sebastian and this gives Messner a chance to meet the family of his young pen pal.As this is a Hallmark romance movie, need I say more? Both Loughlin and Messner have a lot to work through, but they are getting all kinds of encouragement from everyone around them.This one's a winner from Hallmark.

mubduh I very much enjoyed this film - as many have pointed out, no sex, no violence, good acting, warm story line. The characters and story moved along pretty realistically. I say that based on my experience of raising a son whose father did not participate in his life. I am sorry that ludovica36 made such awful comments about it. I find it hard to believe that anyone who actually watched the movie would have things like that to say. And take the time to post something so extreme and nasty. You know what they say about reviews - toss out the highest and the lowest and go with those in between. Obviously, the other reviewers here saw the same movie I saw in the light it was intended to be seen in.

cistymac I loved this movie. I was supposed to go to a dance tonight and got caught up in this movie and never left the house! I hope there is a sequel. The story line was great and the acting was so natural. It's coming on tomorrow and I will be right here to watch it! It was great to see Stephanie Powers acting again. The movie was just so down to earth and wholesome. It was great to see a story that had no cursing, no violence, no sex, no police, no crime - just a genuine story of love, caring and affection between people. I certainly hope the writer is working on the second part of this movie because there certainly should be a follow-up to the story. It also helped me to appreciate the sacrifices of our military families.

bmulford-969-820151 A great movie - plot moves along well, positive portrait of a real dad, enough romance without the sexual junk. Clean, family oriented, my whole family (wife, kids, in-laws) loves it. The actors and actresses are wonderful. Would have liked to see: - Chapel scene - the plot talks a lot about God, yet there is no scene depicting worship, I think a simple chapel scene would have been a great way to build the spiritual commitment to each other. - Family Support Group scene - the military is very good at welcoming in the new family members, especially those new to the military and pairing them with other women to support one another during deployments.Other than that this is one of those movies we will end up buying and watching many times. No cursing, no sex, no violence, just a plain, simple yet moving - movie. This is what film making is all about!!!!
