uplifting story
31 March 2005 | by (Jersey) – See all my reviews

I just have to say that there are so few uplifting and and spiritual movies out there and i am so delighted to have found "Love comes Softly". This movie really made me feel so good after i watched it. it was so pleasant to watch a movie with no swearing,sex or violence and one that contained a Christian theme throughout. Being a Christian myself this story completely drew me inside and i have watched it like four times in the week since i have bought it. the actors were wonderful and very believable to watch on screen. Dale Midkiff is such a great actor all you have to do is look in his eyes when he doing a scene, whether it be loving Christian father and husband, or psychotic killer, or Elvis. he is totally believable as any character. he is not bad on the eyes either. i enjoyed the relationship between the two adult characters Clark and Marty, how their relationship blossoms throughout the movie,how their love really does come softly. this movie is definitely worth seeing and i absolutely recommend it.
