Description: In the latest Love series installment, two years have passed since the tragic death of Missie's husband Willie. Missie is forced to move back to her father's ranch in Tettsford Junction and ends up adopting a teenage orphan girl who tests her faith and strength. Missie is compelled to defend the girl's orphan brother who is being mistreated by his adoptive family all the while fighting her own feelings of love for the town sheriff.Amazon.com: Cynics beware! From the first sweeping chords of the soundtrack, it's clear that Love's Unending Legacy will continue Janette Oke's heartfelt tales of love, pluck, and Christian faith in the days of pioneers. Missy LaHaye (Erin Cottrell, repeating the role from Love's Long Journey and Love's Abiding Joy) comes back to her father and stepmother after the death of her husband, only to find herself adopting a teenage girl named Elinda and sparring verbally with the town's handsome young sheriff. Missy can't understand Elinda's rebellious ways until she discovers why the girl has been smuggling food to a boy at a nearby farm. Fans of the Love series (which began with Love Comes Softly) will be untroubled by the movie's modern notions of childhood (to say nothing of some very modern necklines) and the supernatural cleanliness of this frontier town; period realism matters less than a sincere portrayal of Christian values. (Some viewers, however, may feel that the movie's earnestness curdles into mawkishness.) Also featuring staunch Dale Midkiff, who's played Missy's staunch father Clark Davis in all five of the Love movies to date. --Bret Fetzer
Customer Reviews:
- HORRIBLE!!: This movie is so far off from the book, it is infuriating. To think that they killed off Missie's husband Willie for theatrics and so she could have a new love interest is horrible. Also, what happened to all of Missie's brothers, and her other children? In the books, her and Willie stayed at the ranch and raised a very lovely family and prospered on their ranch. Now, all of the sudden, all of that is gone. Also, Belinda is Marty and Clark's daughter, who was a late surprise, not an adopted daughter of Missie's. I couldn't even finish the movie, I was so upset. DON'T WATCH!!!
- LOVE'S UNENDING LEGACY: this was so enjoyable--I didn't see any filth--nudity, bad cuss words. It made me feel uplifted and good. I didn't feel like I needed to wash my ears and eyes out because it did what a movie is supposed to do--entertain without all the offensive garbage in sitcoms and some movies.
- Another great family movie from Michael Landon Jr.: What a pleasure to share with the family. This is a wonderful series, very nicely adapted to screen.
- Disappointed at the changes: I have to chime in on the other reviews about killing off Willie. He was the character that I kept looking forward to seeing in the movies and by killing him off ruined the movie. He is an excellent actor and gave me the connection I needed form the second movie. I loved the fact that he and Dale were still in it. The purpose of series are for us to be able to follow the movies and this was a disappointment. I agree with one of the reviews that said can you have him and the orginal Missy come back because someone was dreaming or had amnesia or something. Erin was not a good choice to be substitued for the orginal adult Missy. There are few choices for Family movies out there and I was hoping this one would continue as a series. We as readers and movie goers tend to get attached to the actors that play the characters. We do realize sometimes there is a time restraint but I know if you made them an offer they can't refuse they would do the series. That is up to you to make it so they will not turn the part down. Thanks.
- Loves Comes Softly & Love's Unending Legacy: These are wonderful movies and I have the entire series now also I have already ordered the upcoming release of Love's Unfolding Dream. I had viewed all these movies on the Hallmark channel and wanted to add them to my collection. Amazon has been great in service of delivery of both my movies and books. I am totally satisfied even with your corresponding suppliers. I really like the idea of letting customers when orders have been shipped and what method they were shipped.
Thanks!
