Fieldsp341 Spoiler: First, it was wonderful seeing Jane and Joe together in something modern. And I liked the romantic comedy aspect of it all. I thought the casting was done well. Especially the actress playing Angie. She had me laughing out loud. And I was happy to see Joe Lando playing the love interest in this one. He and Jane still have their chemistry between them. For those expecting to see the detective side of Prudence, you would be disappointed. In Dear Prudence, she was on vacation and found herself surrounded with a mystery, but she isn't a detective by trade. Prudence McIntyre is really a Martha Stewart type person and we see more of that in this movie. She is frantically trying to keep her show on the air the way it is, and with the help of family and friends, she is able to do so. I love the tidbits of advice they sprinkled throughout the movie. I would love to see a follow up with Joe and Jane again as Prudence and Jack. Maybe in the next one, they could add a bit of the mystery many seemed to miss in this one, as long as they keep the romance.

reader4 This movie is still good in spite of how hard they deliberately tried to ruin it."Dear Prudence" was great, a woman who gets dragged into being a detective by circumstance. She was assisted by a young lad, somewhat reminiscent of the "Hettie Wainthrop" series starring Patricia Routledge.So how did they try to ruin it? First of all, Prudence is no longer a detective. This was the main point of the entire show, which has now been eliminated completely. Kind of like making an episode of Miss Marple where she turns out to be a knitting instructor on TV instead of a sleuth. I was at about 1:20 in to the film when I finally decided that nobody was going to get murdered.Second, in "Dear Prudence" her assistant was young, perhaps teenage, cute, shy and geeky, with lots of personality. In "Perfectly Prudence" they have replaced him with a late-twenties, pudgy, unattractive geek with the personality of clammy dumpling dough. Removes half the reason to watch the show.The other half of the reason, though, Jane Seymour, is quite delightful. She is still looking very good.Unexpectedly, the movie is stolen by Valerie Azlynn, who has a real flair for comedy. Her crying scenes are particularly hilarious.I think it's very ironic that the plot of "Perfectly Prudence" is about the network executives trying to ruin her TV show, destroying everything it stood for and totally revamping it purely for the sake of money, when that is exactly what they did to "Dear Prudence!"

edwagreen Joe Lando. Jane Seymour. Dr. Quinn-Medicine Woman. Watching this rag of a movie made me appreciate that great series even more.In this one, after Lando runs away, Seymour marries after 4 months. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out why. It comes out anyway at the film's end.This is a tale of a woman having her own improvement show. Suddenly the show is taken over by someone else and the producer is Seymour's ex-lover Lando. Seymour's real-life husband appears near the end as the big boss. It's basically a tale of a woman asserting her rights to get back her own show and do as she pleases. The son of the boss is two-timing his "dumb" blonde girlfriend while making advances at Seymour's daughter. At the film's beginning, you would think that Seymour has 2 children. All of a sudden, the guy is working for Seymour and not the son you would think. This was a bit confusing.Seymour comes up a scheme in the way that Ethel and Lucy made up their schemes to get what they wanted.Yes, there is some fun but the film is essentially inane for the taste of the viewing public. Please bring back Sully and Dr. Quinn.

boblipton Jane Seymour enlivens this Hall Channel TV movie sequel to 2008's DEAR PRUDENCE about a Martha-Stewart-like TV personality. This time there's a corporate takeover and an attempted makeover of the show and an old lover who reappears. Valerie Azlynn is quite funny as the ditzy weather bunny who is being foisted on the show in order to improve the -- harrumph! -- demographics.Director Paul Schneider fills out the piece with some nice auctorial comments; as Miss Seymour and Katherine Flynn as her daughter and producer walk and talk about how to present a particular guest, they finish by noting it will be a 'walk and talk' and the camera offers the audience a nice flourish to let us know that is what we've just seen. A pleasant setting and competent actors make this one that is worth seeing.
