Featured reviews
I needed the help of a friend to be able to see these movie, but as I heard it airs I couldn't wait until it would air in Germany. Unfortunately it can take years until movies are shown in Germany. These movie is one of these movies I could watch daily. It's wonderful and convincing played - just excellent! Reminds at the Little house in the Prairie . The story is heart warming, the pictures great and Dale Midkiff, Kathrine Heigl and Skye McCole Bartusiak do a terrific job. This movie brings up the wish, there should be more Clark Davis' in these world (thanks to a terrific Dale Midkiff). I wish there would be more movies like this on TV, I enjoyed every second!

I watched this movie for several reasons: Michael Landon,Jr.'s involvement (as I suspected, he learned well from his father); I love Westerns (and romances); and I'm a fan of Dale Midkiff's and consider him talented and hugely underrated. I love to examine an actor's portrayal of a role. The way Midkiff used his voice(tone and inflection) to display Clark Davis' kindness, gentleness, and honor was perfection. Talk about nailing a role! (He's just as believable as the rascally womanizer,Buck, on "The Magnificent Seven.") I hope to see a sequel (or several) to this appealing movie.
I just got the DVD and watched the whole thing last night and loved it!!!!! Never got to see the movie when it aired on TV but I figured since Dale Midkiff was in it, it had to be good:) I was right! Katherine Heigl is very underrated as an actress. Loved her in Wish upon a Star(cute movie), and remember her from That Night and the show Roswell, but I hope to see more of her!! She was really good in this movie. I am so glad there is going to be a sequel! because the movie left me wanting to see more. I was disappointed to see the movie ended because it was so beautiful. A good family movie that you don't have to worry about sex, drugs, violence, vulgar language.........

I was really looking forward to seeing this movie since I have read the book...twice! I love Janette Oke novels! The "Love Comes Softly" novel is part of a series, so you can continue on with Missie's life, etc.
Sometimes a movie just doesn't do justice to the book, but this one does!!! I was not disappointed at all! The heartbreak and grief that losing a loved one brings is revealed very well in this film. Best of all, the film shows how sometimes a marriage of convenience or out of necessity can be a real blessing. It teaches all of us who live in this day and age that love does not always start off with bursting fireworks or burning passion. As the film portrays...sometimes love just comes softly. :)
To the actors Dale Midkiff, Katherine Heigl, Skye McCole Bartusiak and to Director/Producer Michael Landon, Jr... Great job!!! 10/10

Well i loved Kathryn in Roswell and when i seen this movie advertised i knew I'd have to watch it. I tuned in and boy was I surprised. I recognized many of the faces in this movie. The acting was good and the story was much better than i thought it would be! The little girl was so adorable and I've watched many of the movies she was in as well. I would have loved more 'lovey dovey' interaction between the two leads but it was still a good movie. 8/10
