EarDelightBase Waste of Money.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

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.

huggibear I loved this story because I served in the military and I know how lonely it can be for many who haven't any family that give a darn to send their very best, so they don't send anything at all. It was like that for me, but now I realize just how badly I wanted to leave my home state and head into the service to get so far away from them that it didn't matter. It stinks to be that way, but what use and good were they to me back then? They proved the same while I was in the service, so I stayed away and rarely looked back. Now I'm back home and most of my family are the same as they were back then, go figure! You think all those years would have made a difference, but not really. But back to the movie, it hit home for me because I could relate to the service member. He found love in a very unique manner. It was a heart-felt, touching Hallmark beauty! Without going into any details, it's just one of those movies you have to see to appreciate. I've experienced love during my military career, some the best ever and some like 'what the heck was that?'. Regardless, I never had a pen-pal like the service member in this movie did. We need more of this in our world, helping find unique ways to truly pour our hearts out to those who join our military and risk their lives by going into harm's way. We could be thinking outside the box about things we can do to support those who fight for our country's freedom. It's paramount that we stand for this. Most don't understand how important it is to support our military forces. Don't take what they do lightly, as that would be taking them for granted here. Some of them truly have a passion to put an end to the resistances against us in foreign lands. These movies, touch me deeply because of the duty I gave with my service commitment. But I hope you enjoy the movie as much as my household did. Lori Loughlin is a natural. She has been in many Hallmark movies that I've loved. And Johnny Messner, what a phenomenal actor! He has the best eye contact I've ever noticed in a movie. I definitely have to see what other movies he has been in. There's a wonderful display of emotions just in his eyes.

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!!!!

edwagreen Despite being highly predictable, this is an absolutely wonderful film where a lonely boy, a product of a divorce, whose father totally ignores him begins to write to a soldier stationed in Bosnia. When the guy, Vince, comes back to the U.S. on leave, he finds love with the mother of the boy, played by Lori Loughlin.Everyone in the cast is just great as the 2 people fumble their way to love. The best part is that this film doesn't become tragic with someone getting killed at the end. That was a welcomed relief.Though the two wish to part company when Vince is to be shipped out, they thankfully come to their senses.You're left with such a good feeling when the film ends. Here are 2 people who never thought they could love again, how wrong they were and how lucky we are to have this film.
