Love Finds You in Sugarcreek

I loved the story and the characters until near the end. I think the story had a few atypical plot points and at the beginning I had no idea where it would end up. I don't really think much in it was predictable except the end of the baseball game and what it led to.

The identity of the wife's killer hit me like a truck shortly before it was confirmed and it was about that time the movie went downhill. I think it was rushed from that point, and the actor playing the killer overplayed the part.

I loved that the Amish were not denigrated in any way. They were portrayed as wonderful people, all of them. They all contributed to the enjoyment of the movie.

The tension between Rachel and Joe and what followed was well done and very believable.

I just watched this movie on the UP station (similar to Hallmark). I am not surprised the major networks weren't involved. After all, this was a good wholesome movie devoid of foul language, sex and "alternate life styles" which seem to be prerequisites for most networks these days.

The movie was not sleepy by any means - with plenty of action, suspense, comedy and a healthy dose of "Do Unto Others...". You know, the Golden Rule, a concept once embraced by this great Nation of ours.

I also liked the positive spin on small town law enforcement and how they are just as capable and resourceful (even more so) than a cop from a large agency.

This is a great family movie. I enjoyed it. If you like Hallmark movies, I believe you will like this one too.

Love Finds You in Sugar Creek is a thoroughly wonderful movie with mysterious twists, great characters, great writing AND NO bad language. The town and the outdoor scenes are very beautiful and believable. I taught in an Amish, Mennonite and German Baptist area for 10 years and the people were just as helpful, friendly and just as great cooks as the Amish were shown in this movie. It made me miss them as neighbors even more than I have in many years. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would watch many others like it. I like it so much better than movies shown in theaters and do not go very often because most contain bad language and horrible violence. I am recording it to watch again. Thank you UP for this wonderful movie. Please show it again. It could easily be shown on Hallmark also.

Being from Ohio and living near Sugarcreek I was skeptical, but the Director Terry Cunningham absolutely nailed it! The characters stayed true to the real people of the area, even capturing our Ohio accent. The Cinematography was just as beautiful as Sound of Music, Ohio never looked so good! The story was everything you could want a mix of Comedy, Mystery, Suspense, Action and of course Love... What a great Family movie! Kelly McGillis is spot-on as the Amish Aunt and the Actresses who play the Sisters almost stole the show. Sarah Lancaster and Tom Everett Scott were perfectly cast and the little boy actor just melts your heart. This Movie easily could have been a Hallmark Movie or a Network Movie of the week ... Somebody at NBC, CBS or ABC missed the boat! Now all we need is a Sequel to this beautiful Love Story.

I could watch this a hundred times over. The music and scenery set the mood and the characters were perfect. My favorites were the Amish sisters. I just wanted to hug them. The love story was slow and believable and the hospitality of the Amish reminded me of my southern family. I love the fact that the movie did not appear cheaply made. It's great to have high quality and wholesome all in one!
