Sadly Over-hyped

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

This movie that I love, I was lucky to see it about 18 years ago, I like to see it again. How can I watch this movie again; I love the performance of Uncle the girl the most good that someone can have. Normally I do not speak in English but it is through these films that I am beginning to study this beautiful language. I hope they can help me. Thanks a lot

***** SPOILERS ****** Oh dear , a predictable romantic melodrama . How predictable ? Let`s see.... The heroine falls in love with a man who volunteers to fight in the Korean war . I bet he comes home in a body bag . Hey I must be psycic . Heroine then falls in love with a film maker who is so hard working he can make for 16 hours a day then party for the next 8 . If he`s able to go without sleep then maybe he`s ... Yup thought so . And being a cocaine fiend maybe he might be a danger to his lover . Thought so , but if you`re unable to cotton onto the fact that the guy you`re living with carries a suitcase containing syringes and class A drugs everywhere then maybe you deserve all you get . Hey watch out for that car ! Oh too late . Hard to believe but this TVM actually has a happy ending

Like many of Danielle Steel's movies, the details of the book have been changed. But it's OK. Interestingly enough, the lead Eva LaRue Callahan was starring on All My Children at the time of this movie, a show Michael Lowry, who plays Vasili, later joined. A charming performance by Eva LaRue Callahan.

I find all Danielle Steel's movies are good, clean and entertaining. When young Vanessa finds her mother, I felt what an impact this must have on a young girl. But I didn't realize how much until near the end, when it was clear she had blocked it all from her memory. And Angie Dickinson was, as usual, not only beautiful but a great actress. I felt the only weak part was the relationship between Teddy and Linda, if that was her name. I did not find her listed in the credits. I have not read the book so don't know if it was different. Maybe time did not permit this to be explored in depth. But all in all, I enjoyed.....
