Promessa de Amor

This is a great Hallmark movie sequel. You should watch Love Comes Softly before seeing this sequel but it isn't necessary. The movie is a great love story. The only reason I didn't give it a ten is because it isn't that original. It is a basic love story of a girl having to choose between two guys; one who is cute, rich, and maybe a little shallow, and the other who is cute, poor, but very deep. Hmm sounds familiar but it is still very good. All the actors are great. I rented it because I love Katherine Heigl's character in Love Comes Softly. I wish she would have had a bigger part in this story but the main focus is her adopted daughter. Overall, the movie is a nice break from violence laced movies.

Just like 'Love Comes Softly' this book has nothing in common with the book except for a few names, but that is no reason to pitch either one out. Love and enjoy each separately. It's like 'Anne of Green Gables' I love the books and the movies but they aren't identical either. I love Dale Midkiff. My only disappointment was I think he looks better with shorter hair like how he looked in 'The Magnificent Seven'. (Whoa, heart, calm down, he's somebody else's husband.) ;-) Anyway...I actually felt like Michael Landon, Jr. managed to incorporate more romance in this movie than Janette Oke had in the book. In the book, Willie and Missie's romance was probably a grand total of a dozen pages out of the whole thing if that much. Mrs. Oke seemed to want to run off on rabbit trails in the book talking about people that had very little to do with the Davis'. I cared more about Missie's romance than whether a neighbor had a baby or not and whether he was right in the head or not. In the book, I thought it was cute when Willie tried to help Missie shut the window that was stuck. That would have been cute to see in the movie. It was about the only thing in the book that resembled romance. I personally prefer romance with witty banter and things that make your heart flip over and make you laugh at the same time. The Danielle Steel type of stories seem to keep the people in bed so much that if real people stayed in the bed that much they would be dehydrated into a pile of dust in a month. Of course, Logan B. was very cute. My only thing there was they seemed to be trying too hard to make him be an expert in every field, and whenever he was around everyone else was helpless, but that wasn't his fault. He was mighty cute while he was being Superman, Marcus Welby, etc. Anyway...I think this movie is definitely worth a watch. Rita If Michael Landon, Jr. is reading this, may I suggest Lori Wick's 'The Californians' series, and 'A Place Called Home' series. Lori Copeland's book 'Hope'. She is hilarious.

When I first saw Love Comes Softly, I quickly ranked it high up on my mental list of favorite movies. I purposefully watch it whenever I see if listed, which now totals about 10 times. I just saw Love's Enduring Promise for the first time recently, and now have another movie to add to my list. This sequel did not let me down. Thankfully, the same Clark and Marty were cast for this movie, as well as Willie. I suppose it wasn't reasonable to cast the same Missie, due to her age. But January Jones' portrayal soon made me forget any disappointment I may have had. I realize these movies are carried on the Hallmark channel, which thankfully seems to have kept ethics and principals in tact, but I believe they could have been shown on any leading network and still would have drawn lots of viewers with positive feedback. I hope everyone of all ages takes the time to watch these movies. I found myself getting so absorbed in Enduring Promise, just as I did in Comes Softly, that I "became" a part of that time in my mind. What different times those were! I intend to watch them again and again!

I love this movie because I love true romance! I love to watch a movie or read a book that "makes my heart hurt"! And this one did it! It is a sequel to "Love Comes Softly". Missy (the little girl in "Love Comes Softly") has grown up and is the school teacher. When her father gets hurt chopping wood her step-mother must keep the household running and take care of him while Missy does the physical labor of plowing and planting the farm. Then out of nowhere comes a stranger, (a gorgeous one at that) called Nate, and decides to help them. He takes over all of her fathers work so that she can help her mother and father, and help him as well. They get to know each other during this time and Nate seems to have a secret that connects him to the community. In the mean time a very handsome, very rich, very sophisticated gentleman has decided to pursue Missy. Will she pick wealth or love? I hope they continue to make these films and I would love to see some Lori Wick books on screen as well. If they will do them justice!

Indeed, a great film. First, for good state inspired by it. Second- for admirable job of young Logan Bartholomew. In same measure, for precise manner to explore sensitive themes.

A film about generosity, life sense and acceptance, about truth and about tough choices . And the frame of second half of XIX American century just works for precise basic certitudes defining each period.

It is very easy to define it as sentimental but , its old fashion construction is far to represent an idealisation but fair remind of realities and answers proposing honest perspective about what real matters. So, a patriarchal time, a painful memory of a young man, his support for a father of family in critic situation and the things becoming more and more clear.
