Dare to Love

I too was taken by the total love and commitment shown by Jesse and Patrick in this terrific film....We need many more films that emphasize this sort ot theme...I have personal family experience with schizophrenia....Bravo for everyone connected with making this film and I do study the credits, always Nick,Florida

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.

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.

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 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.
