mubduh I very much enjoyed this film - as many have pointed out, no sex, no violence, good acting, warm story line. The characters and story moved along pretty realistically. I say that based on my experience of raising a son whose father did not participate in his life. I am sorry that ludovica36 made such awful comments about it. I find it hard to believe that anyone who actually watched the movie would have things like that to say. And take the time to post something so extreme and nasty. You know what they say about reviews - toss out the highest and the lowest and go with those in between. Obviously, the other reviewers here saw the same movie I saw in the light it was intended to be seen in.

ludovica36 Trite, hackneyed, badly written, diabolically acted vomit fest of epic proportions. Every cliché in the book, with unrealistic characters who are totally unlikeable because they are just too perfect in every way. This film offers no plot, no incident, no interest and I'd assume it was written by a ten year old Barbie obsessed girl if I didn't have more respect for children's imagination..I love a good romance as much as the next person, but the characters seemed so unrealistic I simply wasn't able to believe a single word of it. Stefanie Powers was the only thing about this movie I liked, and even she has done much much better things in the past. Watch this film if you love to be talked down to from a fantastic height.. otherwise, avoid like the plague

bmulford-969-820151 A great movie - plot moves along well, positive portrait of a real dad, enough romance without the sexual junk. Clean, family oriented, my whole family (wife, kids, in-laws) loves it. The actors and actresses are wonderful. Would have liked to see: - Chapel scene - the plot talks a lot about God, yet there is no scene depicting worship, I think a simple chapel scene would have been a great way to build the spiritual commitment to each other. - Family Support Group scene - the military is very good at welcoming in the new family members, especially those new to the military and pairing them with other women to support one another during deployments.Other than that this is one of those movies we will end up buying and watching many times. No cursing, no sex, no violence, just a plain, simple yet moving - movie. This is what film making is all about!!!!

edwagreen Despite being highly predictable, this is an absolutely wonderful film where a lonely boy, a product of a divorce, whose father totally ignores him begins to write to a soldier stationed in Bosnia. When the guy, Vince, comes back to the U.S. on leave, he finds love with the mother of the boy, played by Lori Loughlin.Everyone in the cast is just great as the 2 people fumble their way to love. The best part is that this film doesn't become tragic with someone getting killed at the end. That was a welcomed relief.Though the two wish to part company when Vince is to be shipped out, they thankfully come to their senses.You're left with such a good feeling when the film ends. Here are 2 people who never thought they could love again, how wrong they were and how lucky we are to have this film.
