It takes a romance-loving person to enjoy this movie to the fullest. There are areas of the movie that could have been improved upon as far as the acting/directing categories go. I always try to see beyond the mistakes of everyday human errors and get to the point of the story. Personally, I enjoyed this movie and taped it when it came on television recently. I've enjoyed Tim Mathiason and Jaclyn Smith for as long as I can remember and to have them together in a movie made it that much more enjoyable. To have someone argue and fight as these two did right from the start made it challenging to say the least. But when each finally got their personalities out of the way, they realized they could enjoy each other for what they truly are. Hardworking, intelligent, peace-loving people with principals and an extreme desire to find truth and companionship. Some may say that this movie was a total waste of time and money, let alone the waste of what was an excellent script, but sometimes you have to look beyond the poor directing to see the wonderful love and joy these two people finally brought to each other. I loved the comraderie the local townspeople had for each other and the "spirit" that this story was intended to have. The scenery was incredible and I loved the environmental concerns. If anyone has a chance to see this movie, look beyond the surface and take a glance at what really happened. Personally, I give it a thumbs up...no swearing, violence and it really did have a great story to it.
The direction of the film is one of the weakest elements in this movie. Luckily, veteran TV superstars Tim Matheson and Jaclyn Smith are on hand to deliver one of the best romantic performances you'll ever see in the small screen. It's a pity the director didn't give the two more screen time to explore the relationship between the them. It's half bake.
But this is the kind of movie, you rarely see in Hollywood now a days. The two lead stars are so wonderful to watch and probably one of the best chemistry I've seen on TV. These two should make more movies together!

Sure it's predictable...the sunrise is predictable but don't you just love to bathe in its warmth. This is a terrific performance with exquisite acting reserve. Both lead characters are real to perfection played by Tim Matheson and Ms. Smith.
The co stars do a marvelous job as well. Just sit back and enjoy it. If you've been divorced or lost a love one and tried to start again you can see reality protrayed with honesty so real you can feel it deep down. A quality film.

This is a good romantic film and to my surprise it was really touchy. The story is an orthodox one of love. the kind that starts with tensions and resistance and ends up with everlasting love.
to add more the movie is also giving a clear and simple idea about our lives. It tells us to stop for a moment and ask what are we doing, a question that some poeple rarely give time for.
The movie was good and i if you like to have a good time and watch a simple direct movie which is not filled with false action please see it and you will not be sorry.

The first half hour was so predictable, cliche riddled, and stereotype performed, I couldn't force myself to watch any more. Sure Smith, Mathewson, and the scenery are pleasant to look at, but you couldn't like their characters enough or find anything interesting about them to want to watch them change.
