Mail Order Bride

Hallmark rarely disappoints me, but this was one such moment. This film is not well constructed--nothing about it made me care about the characters or become engrossed in their struggles. If I had seen it first, I wouldn't have ordered it. Not a keeper.

I rarely give "bad" reviews, but this is one situation where I agree with the other reviews that this movie isn't a very good one. I, too, have enjoyed most of the Hallmark movies. This one, however, is an exception. My husband and I got through almost a half hour of it before turning it off. The plot was strange, and I, too, found myself not caring about the characters. The language, including the Lord's name in vain was also a turn-off, as was the personality of the main characters. Fortunately I just rented this DVD and didn't waste the money to buy it. If you want to watch a good movie, check out "The Christmas Card" or "Clancy."

3years is a long time.. This movie felt like 3 years long.

I found acting by the lead actress to be lackluster and paled in comparison to the lead male who she is supposed to marry. She seemed to be almost devoid of emotion(which for her occupation, in a way, seemed fitting. Still, It all seemed a bit too modern for me to believe it is the time period of the old west. The costumes and settings were the only thing reminiscient of the time period.

I haven't seen a Hallmark movie lately, but I seem to remember that this is kind of how they are, all the characters mostly reminiscient of others in their movies (lacking in much personality or substance). although this one was more down-to-earth and not all lovey-dovey, it was the same boring style.

Ha, one quote from the main character, "I know that if I tried to live on principles, I would have died a long time ago," was totally unexpected, but true to the story and I'm sure applies to many ppl with life situations similar to hers. This seems like the opposite of what most Hallmark movies stand for, but basically sums up this one.

Every time a chance for engaging/emotional/substantial conversation comes up between the couple, the scene is cut short, rather annoying, and basically any connection to the characters has to be imagined.

Became monotonous and horribly predictable about halfway thru but I grudgingly--and painstakingly- finished it.

There is a great scene at the end and the overall message of not being hung up on money is positive--but it just drug on...
