I think this is the last of the series, but who knows. This one, like the first two, gives me a warm feeling inside. The inspiration is found in this girl who wants to be a doctor. She was in the previous movie of this series when she was adopted by the protagonist. The movie focuses on her and her struggles becoming an independent woman and falling in love at the same time.
Every character in this film is very happy and uplifting, there really aren't any antagonist bad guys, which is strange, because almost always there is a bad guy. The only seemingly bad guy is the doctor at first, but after a while he's cool. The wealthy snooty elderly lady from New York seems to be the other bad guy, but nope, she turns out to be an inspiration as well. Good way to wrap up the series. They could have kept the "Love's" series going, but alas this looks to be the end of an era. I guess I'm about 16 years late on viewing it.

Movies 1-4 had a real storyline that built off of each other, it was more then just a love story it had family values and hardships to overcome. Love's Unfolding Dream falls into the predictable trope that this series has become, the movie follows Balinda's dream to become a doctor while she falls in love with a guy. The only interesting part of the film was the doctor aspect of it, but the love story made it feel really cheesy and predictable. The music score again was too overpowering and downgraded the film. The biggest tease in the entire film was that they used the Dr. Quinn medicine Woman town set as the filming location for the movie. Dr. Quinn was a fantastic series with incredible acting, story line and filming, seeing the town made me want to stop watching Love's Unfolding Dream and put Dr. Quinn in the DVD player instead. Balinda falls incredibly short compared to Michaela Quinn.
This movie was awesome!! i am a college student and i enjoyed every minute of every one of these movies in this series! this movie is definitely something that everyone can enjoy!=) all the characters and the time period was just perfect! and really does show that no matter what happens in life God is always there with us and that he doesn't give us anything we can't handle. Also it shows that in life when you try to make it without God in your life, you are not truly happy. i loved it and i hope that many people watch these and enjoy the good morals and the great story lines that each of these movies have!! It is so nice to sit down and watch warning though after the first one you will be hooked! they are so addicting! and you will laugh and cry with the people in the movies!
This is the sixth film in the faith based pioneer series called Love Comes Softly based on the books by Janette Oke. We go back to Andersons Corner where Belinda "Lindy" Tyler has become a well-read headstrong young woman who desperately wants to go to college to train to be a doctor. She has two things to overcome...being a woman in a man's profession and just getting in to a college and the money it costs to fulfill her dream.
When their local doctor is hiring Belinda rushes to apply only to be turned down because she is a woman and better suited to being a wife or nurse. When a wealthy woman has a stroke in her stage coach, Belinda helps in the treatment and therapy of Mrs. Stanford-Smythe.
It was nice to revisit some of our favorite characters in this faith based family series Clark Davis (the patriarch) played by Dale Midkiff through the entire series...he has a way of tearing up and delivering the most heartfelt lines, Missy played by Erin Cotrell in all but the first two films...her new husband sheriff Zach Tyler, played by Victor Browne...who was a delightful edition in the last film, although I still miss Logan Bartholomew who played her first husband Willie.
I think fans of the series will enjoy this film that was focused almost exclusively on Belinda and lawyer Drew Simpson.

I know that the Janette Oke books that translate into films get a little heat because they tend to deviate from the books (They Killed Willie!) but they are really good films on their own. It's hard to find anything out there "period piece" wise that is good for the whole family.
This one centers on the whole "traditional" role vs. "progressive" role for females and Belinda must balance her desire to become a doctor vs. the views of her fiancé. Really kind of takes you back to a time when that was a big deal. It opened up a discussion between my young daughter and I when she asked, "Daddy, why don't they want her to be a doctor?" Again, this is another good one from the Oke series and the producers have a good study guide to accompany the film on their website FoxFaith.com.
Give it 9 out of 10 stars.
