Love's Enduring Promise

I was really baffled after watching this movie by how high this movie is ranked here. January Jones acts as if she needs to vomit because of the silly dumb lines that were written for her, and who can blame her? They usually say that child actors outplay adults, but don't worry: Here the kids are so annoyingly sweet and artificial like Hummel figurines. This storyline is so dramatically stupid, historically inaccurate and foreseeable that it's hard to believe anyone enjoyed watching it. The only explanation I have, is the blunt rubbing in of Christian propaganda. I guess the silly storyline of a Christian family talking about their Christian values is enough to make evangelicals happy. No brain needed. Wow, this was bad... It actually was so bad, it was near to ironic...

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

First thing first. I don't hate the movie. Such movies should be out there. Only thing, it is not my kind of movie. It is easy-watching film about family relationships. And it is OK. I prefer my drama being thrillers or tearjerkers. Nothing like that here. Even though we see a death scene it doesn't make you emphasize with those characters. Family drama is also mid tier. Romantic story is so cliché I've seen it more than I can count. In conclusion it is bland movie that touches everything but does it in mediocre way.

the movie was good although i still think the first one was better. it was well directed and well acted. i just have one comment. i don't know if it's just me but i kept on getting distracted by the seemingly nonexistent age-difference between missie and marty. they looked like sisters instead of mother and daughter. i thought January jones looked older than katherine heigl in some scenes, then i found out from IMDb that she is indeed older. it would have been better if they at least tried to age katherine so she would look believable as a stepmother to a grown young woman. another thing, the DVD cover is very misleading. the film is about missie but they put katherine heigl's picture on the cover. this might mislead others into thinking that the film is about marty. other than these, i don't have any other comments.

I didn't really think this series was going to be my type of movie, though I have always liked a good romance. It definitely reminds me of Little House on the Prairie. I'm sure we all know why that is. When I watched this movie the first time, I cried throughout. It is absolutely wonderful! I highly recommend watching the entire series, especially watching them in the proper order. If you can't find a place to rent them, they would be well worth the purchase! I'm just trying to save up money so I can buy them for myself. I wish Little House on the Prairie would come out on DVD as well so I could add it to my collection. Unless it's come out and I just haven't found it yet?

..for what it's worth, January Jones is older than Katherine Heigl! That's Hollywood for you! I am not complaining (too much) But it is a bit of a stretch to accept the kid from "My Father the Hero" as January's step-mom. Both women are great actresses, and I enjoyed their performances in this movie, but the age proximity was distracting. Also, a bit disconcerting. Marty sure did not age much from the first movie to the second. The makeup department could have tried a little harder. I guess Skye McCole Bartusiak is too young to be Missie again, so I understand the reality of the situation. Otherwise, the movie was an entertaining diversion as period pieces go, without any violence or profanity. Any 10-year-old girl would love it!
