Such a frustrating disappointment

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

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

This movie is just a great family drama movie. Not too much yet can touch your heart and the movie succeed to put emotions all over the movie. Emotion between robert and his parents, between robert and his biological parents, between robert and his brother... all of them keep your emotion awake. The first time i watched this when I was in 8 or 9 grade..it was Christmas day...and even though i was still teenage, I was crying almost an hour because of this movie..and had to refused meeting up with Christmas guest coz of my swollen eyes.Unfortunately after that I forgot the title, it's hard before without internet in my country...even with internet it's still hard until today 9 nov 2014..IMDB Message board..gave me the answer...not until 3 hours someone reply with the title..and it almost put tears in my eyes. I just love this movie.

A wonderful, wonderful movie which is realistically touching and moving. The acting is great, and the emotions and feelings inspired by the story line are infectious. I did not have the luck to watch the film from the beginning so I hastened to check the story and the cast after watching the ending. I had wanted to purchase the DVD but was disappointed to learn from the viewers' comments that there is no DVD available. This is truly disappointing and bad news to me. To all those viewers who enjoy dramas with depth I recommend this movie which dwells on family values and parental love. Stephen Dorff was very believable and his acting was superb! I warmed to him instantly when I saw and felt his pain. The rest of the cast was also stunning. I hope one day I would have the luck of seeing the film again on TV from the beginning!

I was surfing the internet about "Always Remember I Love You" and noted in a couple of sites that the movie was "based on a true story". I was not aware that it was fact-based, but the film has the ability to run you through the entire spectrum of emotions. If the movies does not make you cry at some point, then (unless you're clinically dead) you'll have a big lump in your throat. Not only is this a good Christmas holiday film--Mother's Day is high on the list, too. Of course, when you have a made-for-TV movie this good, it is watchable at any time.Patty Duke is in top form as well as 16 year old Stephen Dorff. The supporting cast, including David Birney, Joan Van Ark, and Richard Masur, make this two hours of television well worth your time.

Always Remember That I Love You is a moving story of a boy's battle to rediscover his true identity in the face of horrific consequences; and how his strength to carry on helps him to confront the ultimate emotional dilemma of a young man. Superbly played by Stephen Dorff, Robert discovers at the age of 16 that he was adopted. His parents, played by Joan Van Ark and David Birney, find out that their adopted son was actually kidnapped from his real parents. They decide to tell him the truth, even at the risk of losing him. Robert runs away to find his real family. He eventually finds them and is able to become a part of the family without revealing who he is. Eventually, he must decide where he belongs.
