Ten year old Jared Marshall's life crumbled down after his parents' divorce a year ago. Not only does his dad put his job first since, mother uproots him from Iowa by moving in with her ma so she can take a job in California. When Jared's class writes letters to US troops in Bosnia from the nearest base, kindhearted Sergeant First Class Vince Carerra, who grew up fatherless and got divorced because his wife wasn't faithful while he was on tour of duty, takes to the kid and starts a correspondence with 'fatherly' advice. Once his unit returns to Fort Sebastian, Vince calls on Jared's home, warmly welcomed. Vince becomes Jared's personal baseball coach and after some Cupid encouragement, his mother's boyfriend, but on an understanding not to commit because he's likely to be redeployed.

Brilliant and touching

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

How I wish to have part 2 of this movie. It's a Great Movie.it was really amazing story make me fall in love and is very touching. the boy same with my Kids to if I feel sad they are the one who really sad too. I relate so much. The story line was great and the acting was so natural. It was great to see a story that had no cursing, no violence, no sex, no police, no crime - just a genuine story of love, caring, and affection between people. I certainly hope the writer is working on the second part of this movie because there certainly should be a follow-up to the story. It also helped me to appreciate the sacrifices of our military families.

I don't write many TV related reviews. In fact I have not written one in many years. Having said that, I was clicking my way through the 350 or so FIOS channels on this rainy and cold day and caught in progress (I missed the first 10 or so minutes but it was easy enough to pick up the plot) this movie on the Hallmark Movie Channel. The HMC is not one of my favorite channels and I always thought of it as an LMN type channel with silly plots with outrageous detours along the 2 hour route.What a pleasure watching a movie for a change without cursing, screaming, sex, etc. OK so it has a nice predictable ending but it was even nicer the way they got to the ending. How great it is to sit through a 2 hour movie without the usual distaste along the way. See it for yourself.

I have joined IMDb just to review this film, this is how much I loved it. A lovely, moving, heart-warming film. The chemistry between the actors playing Dana and Vince was very good, you could really feel the love there. Also wonderful to see Stefanie Powers in action, she is still a beautiful lady and a pleasure to watch.I normally record these afternoon movies just to watch in the background as I do more important stuff, but this movie I was gripped from the start and I watched it fully.Its sending out a very important message about the sacrifices that armed personnel have to make about leaving their nearest and dearest for months or even years at a time, going overseas to risk their lives for their country and having to face the daily prospect that their chosen loved one may not want to hang around and wait for them to get back.Jared was a great little actor too, I really felt for him with his genetic dad being a moronic twit and abandoning him, then he connected with Vince and life got good again. It was great to see Jared and his grandma teaming up to get Dana and Vince together, committed and happy.All I can say is if this film comes along on your TV schedule, make the effort to record and watch it, you will not be disappointed.
