Back to You and Me

While a little predictable (and most chick flicks are), it is a nice, fun story with the happy ending that one expects. While Lisa Hartman Black is good in her role, I was very impressed with Dale Midkiff, the male lead. Handsome and sensitive, Midkiff breathes life into the single-dad character who lives in a small hometown where everybody knows everyone else's business. Rue McClannahan is fun as Lisa's mom, but her character doesn't get much exposure. The film also teaches a good lesson that people do change from their high school days, and sometimes there are pleasant surprises. Great viewing for a dreary Saturday afternoon when you need to walk away with a smile on your face!

WOW. I just saw this movie on the Hallmark Channel last night. After falling in love with Dale in the Stephen King Movie: Pet Cemetery from years ago,I had wondered what else he is capable of. Then came the Love comes Softly series. He is great. I am really excited that he has chosen to take on roles that have him showing him as a Christian. Lisa Hartman Black is an OK actress. Working with Dale makes anybody look good. It was a really touching movie about a second chance at love

We all may need that someday.Dale seems to be able to put so much emotion into the scripts he does. There is a part of me that hopes that he will not do any type of war or highly violent movies like most guys do these days. I love the great guy image he has and blesses his projects with.

Quite a good film is depicted here despite the fact that it's hard to believe that Rue MacLanahan's daughter did not realize that Rue was staying out and away from her terminally ill husband and father because he wanted it that way.

You know that the waitress who is chasing after Dale Midkiff will wind up with the attorney. They have so much in common. That's so obvious.

That being all said, the picture succeeds because it's a sentimental tale about home life, the saving of the life of a young boy and the renewed love of his widower father and woman doctor who comes back to the town to attend a high school reunion.

I love seeing Dale Midkiff once more in a Hallmark movie....especially one that brings out a tender/strong character. He looks as good as he did in the first one I saw him in.....Love Comes Softly. And Lisa Hartman Black (wife of Clint Black) is as lovely as ever and so wonderfully slim. This movie is definitely a "chick flick" and so enjoyable to watch. If you like modern movies with a nice ending and beautiful cast, you will like this one. Larry Manetti from Magnum PI did a grand part as one of the high school classmates at the reunion. All now grown and some completely different from their high school days. Others still unchanged, except in looks. If you are a fan of Dale, and enjoy fairy tales (few people look this good at their high school reunions, I think), you will love this one. Just let yourself pretend you are one of them. :) Rue McClanahan is an added asset, of course, to any movie.

I really enjoyed the storyline..but, of course, it would be interesting to see if the old boyfriend still loved her if she had not looked like, Lisa Hartman, who....ANYONE..would want to reconnect with!. Seriously, I like Dale Midkiff because..(yes, he IS handsome)..but he knows how to be vulnerable in every role that he plays. You can't help but notice his charming good looks and then he keeps you interested in the story, simply because the man is a good actor. Is it me?...or does he possess an 'Elvis' quality that is pure magic... Whatever it is...Mr. Midkiff..you have convinced me. I am a big fan now. Keep on making those lovely, family-oriented films on Hallmark...stick with Michael Landon,Jr....who, himself,is following in his father's remarkable and capable footsteps. June Robertson...Memphis.
