I must say this is extremely nice. The faith of Clark is fantastic. It tested my own faith and really inspired me. The way the story came together is wonderful and Clark proved to be a wonderful and brave man. He was charming and very loving towards Marty. Great Christian movie.

The acting was a bit hard to take at the beginning of the movie, but the story moved well and pulled me in pretty quickly. There are some great Christian themes and I've used some clips for classes I've taught at church.

It is a really nice movie; however, the storyline differs from the book of the same title. Names are changed, Missie is a toddler, different events and characters are left out etc. Why didn't Landon stick more to the storyline of the book?
I have watched all the movies in the series and last week I got started on reading the e-books and I loved them!
You can keep the movies, I will buy all the books instead!

good Christian movie - appropriate for any age. The Landon's have always produced good stuff, starting with Michael Landon's "Little House on the Prairie" and now his son's "Love Comes Softly" series. Thank you for your courteous, prompt service. I will be back for future DVD's.

Love comes softly is my most favorite movie! I cried, I laughed, and only wish there were more movies along the line of this particular one. I did watch the others, but none compare with the first one.I showed it to everyone that came to visit, and I guess that was a mistake, because, someone stole it!!!

5 stars is not even high enough! I rate it 10+! I saw the movie(s) and enjoy them so much, I started to look for the DVD's. I found Love Comes Softly and Loves Abiding Joy, but wasn't able to find the others (in stores). I finally got on the internet and found this 'wonderful' website. I also found that the book series seemed to piece some of the movies together. I purchased the first series of books and am already on the 4th (I'm not much on reading!). Even though the stories are somewhat different from the movies, I have found them so enjoyable reading and picturing myself being a part of their lifes, in the travels, everyday trials and tribulations. I'm looking forward to the 2nd series, but also feel disappointment already that there won't be anymore writings in this series. I will also be purchasing the DVD Series, so I can enjoy the lives of our Frontier Settlers on screen.I do look forward to reading Janette's other wonderful books, the first set being 'A Prarie Legacy'. Thank you Janette for your beautiful books and Thank God for giving us a a wonderful author.

I have seen all 7 movies and can't wait to see the rest. They are all very good. I only wish there were more. They have inspired me to read the books but I wish the author would write about the lives of the boys, they all seem to be focesed on the women.

I enjoyed this series when it was on Lifetime and purchased it for my mother for Christmas. It is entertaining and interesting as well because of the historical setting. My mother loved it as well.

It is a very nice movie that even my children can watch, we love little house on the prairie that Michael Landon directed, so this is directed my his son Michael Landon Jr. There wasn't any bad language, it showed faith in the Lord, it shows that in a Christian's life there are trials & tribulations. We love watching it over & over.

To add to my earlier review, while i think that the acting is superb, and i love Katherine Heigl as Marty, i have to agree with the last two reviews. The first movie was very much like the first book, in that the situations that happened in the movie are the same as those in the books, with each movie it gets more and more untrue, and when it reached the fourth movie, the only thing similar about the movies is the names of the characters.

The movie is great, be sure to read the books which are even better! As the movies go on they are less like the books. as someone else said except for the names of characters, the movies are TOTALLY different from the books. I based my rating on a comparison to the books.

While this is a "nice little movie" I found this and the subsequent movies in this series nothing like the books. The "Love comes Softly" series is one of my favorite christian book series and I was extremely disappointed that except for the names of some of the main characters and a few out of context situations it was nothing like the book. As the movies go on they become less and less like the series, it might as well be a completely different story.

This movie is EXCELLENT. The acting, unlike a lot of movies of this sort, is very good. I only wish it were longer. I'm not the sort to get teared up in these 'inspirational' Hallmark sort of movies, but I did in this one! I fell in love with all the characters and I can't wait to see the rest.

My family and I loved all of these! They are somewhat different from the books but I have come to expect that from movies made from books. These are great examples of what pioneer life was like and the wonderful example of how important it is to chose a christian spouse. Safe for whole family.

I found this to be very overrated. The story is nothing but clichs and the acting is weak. Only for those who love sappy Hallmark movies.

I truly enjoyed the movies. They really made me think of how lucky I am to be able to compare my life to their lives. They are truly inspiring and very spiritual that you cannot believe that there isn't a God. I have recommended these movies to myfriends and co-workers. Michael Landon Jr. did a wonderful job of selecting the right actors for these movies. He reminds me of his father whom I really loved watching everything he did. I hope that there are more movies like these coming out soon, because I can't wait to see them.
