Thicker Than Water

My go to cozy movie!! Its not as stereotypical as most Hallmark movies. That being said of course theres some slightly cheesey parts. Still,if you have a calm evening to snuggle up and watch a comforting movie this is the one to watch. Or of you are sick. Anytime I amd sick,this is the movie I watch. So snuggle up,as you watch Natalie Travers (played by Melissa Gilbert) discover her Fathers hidden past, and find in it, a whole new future for herself. You'll either laugh at or fall in love with all of the characters,but either way you're going to enjoy it. If you ever grew up watching Feature Films For Families you'll know what I mean. Cheesey,but homey,brings you back to your childhood a little bit with the wholesome atmosphere and themes.

A career woman finds her roots in the country while finding out about her fathers hidden life.

This is a nice movie about family matters. Nothing upsetting, just your familiar Hallmark kind of TV movie.

Quite a nice movie for a relaxed evening in front of the TV. Don't expect to be totally captured though.

It is also nice to see the pictures from the country-side, and the movie makes a good advertisement for country life, to inspire us hard-working town dwellers.

A romantic touch finishes off the movie well.

Melissa Gilbert is an excellent choice for this kind of movies.

Just sweet.

My wife and I have watched Thicker Than Water starring Melissa Gilbert several times and we enjoy the movie. It's got an interesting and rather unusual plot about two half sisters that find each other, each living in quite different spheres. One sister is a lawyer in LA and the other a rancher who honours her mother's memory by taking care of mustangs. Both women share a father who led a secretive past.

One thing we like about this movie is that it is clean. There isn't one cuss word in it.

The scenery is exceptionally beautiful.

It is a touching movie which one discovers as the movie unfolds.

We would highly recommend it for family viewing.

Hallmark movies tend to be a standard format of the successful city business woman comes to the country on some quest and finds love there. This movie is no different but it wraps into it a standard western theme where a trouble making robber baron wants the water and the land. As that it is a Hallmark movie, it has the tension but not the violence of the western. As I am a cowgirl, if adopted by the ranch, I found a lot of things I could identify with and items that made me comfortable as it was the kind of life I have now. One thing about the movie to me is that aside from Lindsay Wagner, I do not know the cast from their former performances so I had no expectation to "who they were before". "Meeting them for the first time", I had no doubt to who they were playing. A good movie to end the day with.

I rented this movie yesterday and can hardly express my disappointment in little Laura Ingalls for getting involved in something so poorly produced. I am not sure if it was horrible writing or bad directing or both but it leaves a viewer very disappointed in having wasted the time to watch this swill. It consisted of a weak naive story line, very poor lines, and relied solely on pretty scenery, and pretty people to sell it. Unfortunately this was not enough. You would be better off to rent a tape full of static than to waste your time on this crap. Lindsey Wagner also played a pretty pathetic part as a ranch owner who apparently works very hard doing nothing, anybody who has ever been near a ranch knows that this was obviously written by a young person from los Angeles and not someone with much knowledge of the world.
