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 am a mental health professional and after watching Dare to Love on January 6th 2000, I was overwhelmed with emotion.People who are not educated on mental illness can't imagine what family and friends go through when dealing with a mentally ill person. Hats off to Lifetime TV for giving those who don't understand this disease a chance to understand that medication management and support from loved ones, patients can again become productive in the community and improve their quality of life. I am interested in getting a copy of this movie or any information as to when it might be viewed in the future. THANKS BARBARA
This movie really got me. I think it's about the best I've seen on the subject of love , loyalty and devotion: the parent's , the boy friend and Josie.
Every time I need an eyewash I watch the last three major scenes. The last one, the dance , is beyond beautiful. I would have loved to watch this movie being made. The director and writer are the best. And Josie , whom I'd never seen before, well, she was superb in her role. All in my humble opinion, of course.

U can watch the full movie on youtube !!!!! It's a great movie just a little sad but otherwise good & Jason Cedrick is a cute guy who plays a good guy.
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.
