    Reba can do it all.

    Forever Love proves Reba's ability to capture an audience not only through her music, but through her acting. Reba's emotional performance goes to show that she can do anything she takes on and draw people to it. Forever Love tackles issues that one may not realize could happen. This emotional movie bring home values that touch the heart and enable one to express empathy. Even if some think the movie's plot is not easy to believe, it would hold anyone's attention who is human, let alone a romantic. Forever Love also has an amazing supporting cast who show their talents as well. It is easy for one to be drawn into the story line and feel connected to each character. I would recommend this movie to anyone who has a heart and who is a fan of Reba. Just let yourself get lost in the characters and the meaning of Forever Love.

    Not Reba's greatest accomplishment

    I was so excited when I spotted this movie at the the video store. I'd been wanting to see it forever and finally I could. Well, it was just the kind of movie you'd expect to find on TV really late at night, with dull colors, a score played by violins on high notes, and not much excitement. About half way through, I got bored and turned it off. This doesn't necesarily mean it was a bad movie. I'm only 13 and not much for dramas, so someone a little older might like it. Reba's a fantastic actress and her show is fabulous, but I thought this movie was dull.

    Forever Great!

    I think this movie took a lot of great acting, talent, which Reba McEntire and her co-stars had. This is by far the best 'made-for-TV' movie I've ever watched. I think this could very easily sell millions on video... And the song Forever Love and All This Time only accent the marvelous movie it really is. Check it out! Reba McEntire - If You See Him

    First-rate Romance

    FOREVER LOVE will be an overall hit with helpless romantics. Tim Matheson gives his usual fine performance.Although I am personally a fan of Reba McEntire,she is not a believable match for Matheson's character,Alex Brooks.Her thick country accent grates on the nerves of even the most loyal of fans.Reba's character,Lizzie Brooks is very likeable,but once again,unbelievable.Tim Matheson seems to have been created to play the role of"romantic leading man." His performance in "Forever Love" is no exception.In this romance Tim Matheson shines,but Reba McEntire could use some polish.Although the story-line may seem trite to some,it is a delight to romantics such as myself.This is definitely a film that I would like to add to my collection!

    The greatest movie I've ever seen.

    Reba McEntire was so awesome in this heart-warming movie of the 90's! I haven't stopped thinking about it since I last saw it last, which was a re-rerun. I enjoyed the re-run as much as I did the first run. I commend all involved, they all played their parts so well. Thanks for sharing such great talent through such a wonderful, wonderful movie. We need more like this one!
