    I loved this movie!

    I haven't had a story touch me like this in a very long time. Usually, I don't even care for love stories, but this was exceptional. It has the right mix of suspense and romance to definitely make it worthwhile. My only regret is that it was a TV movie, and that I won't get to see it again. If anyone recorded it, PLEASE EMAIL ME! I would be happy to pay you for a copy.

    Sweet love story

    This is a good love story with a happy ending and it's a true story, Marisol Nichols shines as Princess Meriam. If you like romance this one is an unmissable treat. Bahrainies it appears are not happy with this story, as it shows how closed and restricted even the most liberal gulf state is.

    The Greatest Love Story of the Year!!

    After reading the comments about this movie I can't help but agree with each and everyone of them. I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!! I think that it shows that love can conquer over anything, especially with the help of God. Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Marisol Nichols made such a terrific team together in this movie. I wish like crazy that I taped all of it instead of the hour and 30 to 40 min. that I got, but I am glad that I got that much.It should definitely be aired again for everyone who didn't get to see it can and for those that got to see it can see it again. I think what makes this such a wonderful movie, is because it is based on a true story. And everyone wants to know that love like that is still possible. I think that she should be allowed to live here with her new family and I pray that she will be able to stay. I pray that everything will work out for them both.

    Excellent!!

    First of all the fairy-tale story is so compelling, especially because it's true. I thought that the acting by Mark-Paul Gosselaar was exceptional. He has really grown into a fine actor. I have never seen anything Marisol Nichols has been in, but I thought she brought a unique innocence combined with strong will to the role. They had great chemistry on-screen and their characters, from interviews I've seen, remarkably reflect the personalities of the real Jason and Meriam. This has become one of my favorite movies and I've only seen it once!

    Love Conquers All!

    This was a very nice movie about two people so in love, that they risk everything in their respective lives to be together. Based on a true story, a Marine risks his career to get his love out of the country she's from. She risks everything to stay in the U.S. with him.

      Meriam's Mother: You kissed him. In the desert.

      Meriam: No, no I didn't!

      Meriam's Mother: At the Tree of Life, you kissed him. The secret police saw your lips on his.

      Meriam: The secret police? You had me followed!

      Meriam's Mother: I don't need to have you followed, Meriam. Everyone knows who you ARE! Everyone but me. I trusted you! I should never have let you go to that mall, to those American movies...kissing in public! What do you do when no-one else can see?

    • Alternate versions
      A later pressing of the movie had a postscript tacked at the end of the movie that updated the condition of the real life couple, from the Americanization of Mariam to the couple's divorce.
