Sorry, this movie sucks
Admirable film.
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
I loved the movie "Love's Long Journey", and actually just finished watching a sequel called "Love's Unending Legacy". The movies were wonderful and very touching, but I was quite disappointed that both (actually all of the Love Saga) movies differed so much from the book. I am a very avid reader and have always preferred books over movies - partially because I find it to be a very rare movie that is true to the book. I did appreciate that the movies' directors stayed true to the faith of their original characters. I would recommend the movies for a great family outing or home-viewing, but I would also recommend that you read the books with your family. My daughters and I shared many happy hours reading the books together.
I didn't really think this series was going to be my type of movie, though I have always liked a good romance. It definitely reminds me of Little House on the Prairie. I'm sure we all know why that is. When I watched this movie the first time, I cried throughout. It is absolutely wonderful! I highly recommend watching the entire series, especially watching them in the proper order. If you can't find a place to rent them, they would be well worth the purchase! I'm just trying to save up money so I can buy them for myself. I wish Little House on the Prairie would come out on DVD as well so I could add it to my collection. Unless it's come out and I just haven't found it yet?
I really like this movie because it shows how God can do anything possible to help them to get through pregnancy and farming but I love the beautiful scenes of landscapes. Here the part which I love is Christmas story of Luke that Willie was reading to everyone including Missie. When I watched all of Love Come Softly series, I think that Michael Landon, Jr. was a good director because his father was in Little House on the Prarie so he followed in his father's footstep to create Janette Oke's books into movies. As I looked back on my life for a little bit and I realized that my faith in God is so good to me and how God gave me a gift - my deafness.
I used to be a big fan of the Little House on the Prairie. To see Landon Jr. following in the footsteps of his father and creating quality TV programs is amazing. When I saw the previews for the "Love" series, I knew I would be watching. The previews brought me back to watching Michael Landon all over again. I just watched all three of the "Love" series and I believe them to be good family entertainment. When I first began watching "Love Comes Softly", I was reminded of another favorite of mine, "Anne of Green Gables". The way people and families come together to help one another is a powerful thing in both series. Love Comes Softly was definitely my favorite of the three "Love" series, and "Love's Enduring Promise was also excellent. As for "Love's Long Journey" it was good, the only thing I didn't like about the movie was the fact that Missie's family was not in the movie as well. I am glad I continued and watched all three in the series. I plan to read the books and hope to see a fourth added to the series soon with all the cast.
