Forever Love

This was a truly moving film--not terribly predictable even though the story has been done before. The one negative comment I have to make is this: as much talent as Reba has as an actress, I don't believe anyone else could get away with that speaking voice! Reba is so well-known for her singing, but that same voice, when speaking, is deep and grating. We put up with it because it is Reba, but like I said, no one else could get away with it. Also, in the story, they claim she grew up in San Diego. With that Okie accent? See the film, but listen with a "grain of salt".

FOREVER LOVE will be an overall hit with helpless romantics. Tim Matheson gives his usual fine performance.Although I am personally a fan of Reba McEntire,she is not a believable match for Matheson's character,Alex Brooks.Her thick country accent grates on the nerves of even the most loyal of fans.Reba's character,Lizzie Brooks is very likeable,but once again,unbelievable.Tim Matheson seems to have been created to play the role of"romantic leading man." His performance in "Forever Love" is no exception.In this romance Tim Matheson shines,but Reba McEntire could use some polish.Although the story-line may seem trite to some,it is a delight to romantics such as myself.This is definitely a film that I would like to add to my collection!

Reba McEntire was so awesome in this heart-warming movie of the 90's! I haven't stopped thinking about it since I last saw it last, which was a re-rerun. I enjoyed the re-run as much as I did the first run. I commend all involved, they all played their parts so well. Thanks for sharing such great talent through such a wonderful, wonderful movie. We need more like this one!

I was so excited when I spotted this movie at the the video store. I'd been wanting to see it forever and finally I could. Well, it was just the kind of movie you'd expect to find on TV really late at night, with dull colors, a score played by violins on high notes, and not much excitement. About half way through, I got bored and turned it off. This doesn't necesarily mean it was a bad movie. I'm only 13 and not much for dramas, so someone a little older might like it. Reba's a fantastic actress and her show is fabulous, but I thought this movie was dull.

I must take issue with the young girl. This film has struck me deeply, a 47 yo man, as a fine piece of sensitive and well done work. I was impacted positively by many aspects. The key one is the performance of all four main characters. Reba is obviously visually stunning, and works through the emotions very convincingly and poignantly. My wife and I just completed a 4 year victorious battle against cancer on her part...and this movie MOVED me deep inside. Reba is a world class vocalist too! Her husband also wrestled well his role as a flawed and vulnerable man in great pain. The other woman was initially selfless, then flawed, and finally courageous and selfless to get out of the way. The daughter is a developing young actress...and expect she would do well in the future. This film makes me want to follow up other works by these three women.
