Amor Desaparecido

First of all, it was extremely refreshing to watch a Hallmark movie with background music at an appropriate volume that enhances the feeling of the scene rather than drowning out the dialogue! Plus, the cinematography and arrangement were successful at inspiring the right feelings at the right moments. There is charmingly natural chemistry between Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sean Faris, and the casting for Caroline (Betty White and Meghann Fahy) was absolutely perfect! My only complaint: Jennifer Love Hewitt's fake eyelashes are too big!

Sometimes I think that Betty is risking overexposure considering all she has been in lately, but then you see something like this. Wow! Did the other actors bow down on the set in "we're not worthy" reverence? They should have. All the actors were fine in their roles - no big issues with any of them. Betty just stepped it up several notches.

You watch something like this that links to such an iconic time in history. You realize that there are fewer folks around who lived it, and maybe they know or knew something we have forgotten. Like how to love completely and forever. They are now old and generally carry their hurts with such grace and dignity that it can really pull the tears out when you get a glimpse at what their life has forced them to bear. Betty makes you believe it totally. Let's keep her around forever.

This movie is one of the best movies i've seen in a while. The cast does such a great job bringing all the characters and the story to life. I'm a big fan of Jennifer Love Hewitt, I've seen almost everything she appear in and I can honestly say that she is amazing in this movie and it's probably one of her best work she has done to the date. In the other hand Betty White has done some amazing comedies but she does a great job in this drama and, finally, Sean Faris was good in Never Back Down but in this one he really is great. The story is really good and touching. It's a shame it was only a TV-movie and it's not world wide known because it should be.

I had always thought of Betty White as a comedienne, and an excellent one. But it turns out that she can also do drama, and here she delivers an Emmy-worthy performance. Clearly the World War II era and the story of the Greatest Generation still has a hold on the American psyche, and this story captures that. It's about an American World War II widow named Caroline Thomas, whose veteran husband has been missing since 1943 and is presumed dead, yet she goes to the train station where she last saw him in hopes of welcoming him home. Her story catches the attention of a television docudrama network and they assign crack reporter Jennifer Love Hewitt to cover it. She initially dismisses the assignment, but quickly becomes attached to both the story and to Caroline and her family, especially her handsome grandson Lucas (Sean Faris). However, the story delivers some surprises. The ending, while perhaps far-fetched, is surprising and moving. There are a few unexpected twists to the story and a few which are no surprise at all. Yet even the obvious points don't matter. The entire cast delivers credible performances, but White truly commands the story. The moment when White's character finally tells her husband goodbye is an example of filmmaking at its best. This show is a credit to everyone involved.

Hallmark Movies have long been synonymous with Tear Jerkers and sometimes multiple tissues required.

This movie is no exception. Betty White stars as a young mother to be whose husband goes off to war as a pilot and becomes missing in action. Jennifer Love Hewitt is a news reporter wanting to do a story about the lost love and hopes to help find out exactly what happened to the missing pilot. The plot also features an absent boyfriend and grandson as potential new love interest.

Good movie - worth a view!
