Writer/director Michael Landon Jr. continues in his famous father's footsteps by creating moral family entertainment set in the early days of the American prairie. Stubborn Marty Claridge (Katherine Heigl, Grey's Anatomy) travels west with her new husband--but after they find a beautiful patch of land, her husband dies in an accident before they've even started building. A man named Clark (Dale Midkiff, Air Bud: World Pup) makes a proposal: If Marty will enter into a platonic marriage with him, he'll pay for her passage back east in the spring. What Clark needs is a mother, however temporary, for his willful tomboy daughter Missie (Skye McCole Bartusiak, Beyond the Prairie, Part 2). Missie fights Marty's presence fiercely while Clark, though supportive, speaks few words, and Marty suspects she's made a terrible mistake--but time reveals otherwise. Love Comes Softly, based on the popular Christian novel by Janette Oke, is a romance, but Landon carefully avoids any bodice-ripping histrionics. Problems get solved perhaps a little too easily, but the movie is cleanly written, pleasantly understated, and respectful to its characters. For many viewers, Love Comes Softly will be a welcome change from overheated secular love stories. --Bret Fetzer2) Description
Based on Janette Oke's best-selling book series, and directed by Michael Landon Jr., Loves Comes Softly is inspired story-telling for the whole family. Marty and Aaron Claridge (Katherine Heigl and Oliver Macready) travel west in search of new opportunity. But when tragedy strikes and Marty is suddenly widowed, the young woman must face the rugged terrain, bleak weather, and life among strangers-alone. That is until a handsome widower named Clark Davis ( Dale Midkiff) suggests a platonic "marriage of convenience" until Marty can return home. As the months pass, through, Marty and Clark discover an unexpected new love where there was once only loss.

1) hope in love [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Love comes softly is a great movie for the family, singles, and married. It gives hope and faith for the hurtful woman, and shows how any man should be. That is; Godfearing and patient.2) EXCELLENT [Rating: 5 out of 5]

This is one of five movies in a series. This in the opinion my wife and I is the best of the five. It has a strange but understood begining. It is actually a film the whole family can watch without fear of language or violence.4) excellent family movies! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I watched this movie last night. Basically it told the story about terrible tragedy that happen to Murthy's husband and she finally had to accept marriage proposal from Clark and the rest of story telling about how they live together with Clark's daughter and start to love each other.I just want to make 2 most interesting point from this movie. One is when Murthy asking Clark why he believes in God and loves God while God still allows bad thing happen to him. Clark experience bad situation when his wife passed away and his barn destroyed by fire lately. He gaves an example that when father teach their child to walk, he will let his child to fall in order to learn how to walk but he will always be there to help. Same thing with God. He won't promise bad things will not happen to us, but He promise will always be there for us because of His loves.2nd point is when finally comes the time for Murthy to go back home. Murthy wrote letter to Clark saying if he wants her to stay, she will stay. But somehow the letter drop to floor and he missed it. After drop her to station, Clark came back to his room and praying why God let this thing happen to him. While most people will complaining about, he pray for help to overcome the situation and help him to accept it.5) Get the Book [Rating: 3 out of 5]
It is not nearly as good as the book. It does not even follow the books plot except in a very general way. I was very disappointed in the movie.
