Dare to Love

Love this movie. I wish there was a way to buy it but searching online and talking to LifeTime it's not available to buy and it also won't be airing anytime soon, which is a shame. Jason Gedrick is a wonderful actor and I would love to see more movies with him in it. This movie will pull you in. It has such a wonderful story line and it shows that 2 different people with 2 different backgrounds have the ability to fall in love and no one can stop true love. Even though the female character has flaws, this wonderful man still loves her. That's a true man....wish that was true in real life. Maybe it is, I just haven't found it yet. Once again, wonderful movie and storyline.

I loved this movie and have been looking for a copy since I saw it. Jason Gedrick and Josie Bisset were both awesome in this. Jason as the boyfriend was so well done in the emotions he had to go through in having this girl in his life. Josie Bisset was spectacular as the girl who had the illness. The movie based on the life of a real person really moved me. There is much to learn about people who suffer with this illness. And I would recommend anyone to see this. Especially people who have someone in their lives like this. The people who have this illness and the family and friends would all benefit from this movie. Will it be playing on t.v. again? Or does anyone know where I can get a copy?

This is a good TV movie treatment of schizophrenia. A pretty young school teacher goes from sane to full blown mentally ill. The highs and lows hearing voices and extreme behaviour are shown. Josie Bissett is beautiful and acts well. It would have been easy to overact but she keeps it sympathetic. Her boyfriend who tries to help is played by Jason Gedrick. Her mother who has to deal with her own mothers mental illness is played by Jill Eikenberry. Worth a watch.

I agree with NUHR whose summary was "Inspirational". It was a truly touching movie. I saw it in 1995, and always remembered it. Recently, I just taped over one of the VHS tapes belonging to my new husband (!), and found the end of this movie on it. I watched the rest, and was so happy to have found it again. It is a moving, real-life story of true, true love. I highly recommend it.

I recently watched a Lifetime TV re-air of Dare to Love and was left with a great and hopeful feeling about love and life. It has very many similarities to Splendor in the Grass with Warren Beatty and Natalie Wood. I saw the latter movie actually after Dare to Love and immediately drew parallels between the two movies. What makes both these movies great is the connection between the main characters--the audience is always aware of the strong love that both Bisset & Gedrick's and Beatty & Wood's characters... in good times and bad. I highly suggest seeing both and compare for yourself as their endings ultimately diverge and differ in terms of audience reaction.
