  I have watched this and all of the other movies in this extraordinary series. They are all very family oriented, have no profanity and violence kept to a minimum. My young grand children can view these movies as they present a view of family, faith and loyalty as few others do. The characters and acting is superb. I recommend this and others in the Love Comes Softly series to anyone desiring good, clean, healthy, viewer friendy entertainment. Thank you Hallmark for your continued excellence in presenting family movies.

  There is no doubt that the Love Comes Softly movie series are very well done and wonderfully enjoyable. The only thing that bothers me is that there are so many discrepancies between the books and the movies. Important characters are cut, children that belong to Marty are attached to Missy, and other important areas of the story are left out. The movies as a whole or in part are excellent family entertainment, but anyone that has read and reread the books needs to be prepared for a totally different series which only resembles the original book series.
  
  

• Comparable to "Love Comes Softly"

  
  By AU1E6KDG1FMG6 on 2008-05-17
  There are now six films in the "Love" series, Love's Unfolding Dream being the only one to capture the power and passion of the original movie "love Comes Softly". In Love's Enduring Promise, there was a triangle romance. Grant Thomas, as everyone but Missy could see from the beginning, was a spoiled rich kid looking for a sophisticated Mrs. to complete his image, so there was nothing but to wait and see how Willie would end up stealing her heart. Another actress replaced January Jones as Missy in the next movie, Love's Long Journey. The chemistry between the lead actors was not the same, and attempts to restore romance by giving Jeff a girlfriend in Love's Abiding Joy still left something to be desired. Then a widowed Missy re-married in Love's Unending Legacy, but Zac is a bland character, despite being very handsom. Finally in the sixth film we have the same elements as in the first: two driven young people with integrity and strong minds, colliding as the winds of destiny toss their hearts together, changing, being changed . . . The whole series is good, but Softly and Unfolding are great.

  I have watched each part of this wonderful series more than 5 times. As a matter of fact, I believe I watched Love Comes Softly at least 10 times. Love's Unfolding Dream is fantastic. I just love this wonderful series. Good, clean entertainment,limited violence, no bad language - what a joy!

  I WATCHED THE MOVIE ON T.V AND LOVED IT, I ALL SO HAVE THE OTHER SERIES.
  
  
• Another Great One!
  By A16ZEFZNSS7WQX on 2008-05-17
  The "love" series is so remarkable! Although the movies differ some from the books, they are still wonderful family films. Michael Landon, Jr. is such a wonderful filmaker and truly captures the essence of Janette Oke.
  
  This movie in particular deals with the "traditional" wife role vs. the more modern version and thought that it was handled quite well. GO BELINDA!
  
  Great film!
  
  
• Back on track.
  By A3VNZEIP9E8UPM on 2008-05-19
  I am glad to say and see that this series is back on track. Great family films without appealing to "wowing" you into liking them. This DVD has gotten the series back on track from a "detour" I felt the last film took. Clean, wholesome and good for the family.
  
  
• Great service and product
  By A118DY4B4J04C8 on 2008-05-27
  This was a good family friendly movie, without the bad language. It shows good ethics and values.

  This was good. but it was missing some the Chacter from the 4th and 5th line of the story. I've enjoyed this series very much.
  
  
• Inspirational story about fighting for your dream
  By A2LJYHQ99W27J9 on 2008-05-28
  This is the latest of the "Love Comes Softly" videos. These stories should be seen by every child in America. Michael Landon Jr has continued where his father has left off and I know he is in heaven looking down on his son with such great pride and love. If you can't afford to buy them all (six so far) then I urge you to watch them on The Hallmark Channel and pick your favorite and add it to your video collection. I bought these for my grandchildren which I hope to have someday so they won't miss out on these special stories. I just hope they continue the videos.

• A wonderful tale
  By A1XWQ1FJBLCDZS on 2008-06-08
  "Love's Unfolding Dream" is based on bestselling author Janet Oke's novel and is the sixth in the Love Comes Softly series. It's a coming of age tale of Belinda Taylor (Scout Taylor-Compton), the will-of-her-own adopted daughter of a former heroine Missie Lahaye (Erin Cottrell). Belinda is determined to live her own life and become a doctor in this story set in the era of buggies and stagecoaches.
  
  With her mind made up and after reading as much as she can on medicine, Belinda approaches the town doctor, Doc Jackson (Robert Pine), and asks that he let her be his assistant. He point blank tells her he doesn't need a nurse and that the medical profession is no place for a young lady who should be really thinking about finding a man, marrying him and staying home as the dutiful wife. Belinda won't take no for an answer and Doc lets her assist him with his daily medical duties.
  
  She's happy to assist and learn all she can from Doc until a stranger, Drew Simpson (Patrick Levis), shows up and tells her she should be happy to live life in the small town as a happily married wife of some lucky man. Belinda is indignant that someone from New York City, a lawyer, would have the gall to tell her what she can and can't do. Meanwhile, Drew is falling for Belinda as he works to refurbish the home left him when his relative passed away.
  
  Belinda believes in the power of prayer and she wants to do what she feels God is leading her to be: a doctor. A benefactor, one who doesn't believe God has time for Belinda, finally is swayed by Belinda's outgoing attitude and offers to pay for Belinda's education in Boston. Is Belinda ready to leave town and move to Boston? How does Drew feel about her moving away? Will she return to Anderson Corner?
  
  These questions and others are answered in a powerful ending of the story. This is a DVD unlike any other that I have seen recently. For once, there are no town brawls and everyone gets along with everyone else. There are little, if any, subplots to the story. This is one that grabs the viewer's attention to see what Belinda will do to either stay the long journey of becoming a doctor or give in and live a life of wonderment as the wife of a cattle rancher in a small, country town. You will be enriched by the story and come away a little more faithful that God does answer prayers. Great praise for this story on DVD.
  
  There are no special or bonus features.

• A great movie.
  By A1LY23OJQOF4CH on 2008-06-10
  This is a good family movie. It helps if you haven't read the book that was written by Janette Oke, since the movie takes many liberties from the original story. I still like the movie!

  I enjoyed this Book series 20+ years ago when it was first published. I am delighted it is being put on DVD. Love's Unfolding Dream did not disappoint - we watched it as a family and highly recommend it! I wish there were more movies like this one for families to share with their children. Good Christian values.

• Well...the first few were good!
  By ATWTU4WWG19WG on 2008-07-08
  This is a good, wholesome movie. However, ever since Katherine Heigl got too famous to do these movies, the acting crew has continually gone down in talent. I can watch this movie though and not have to worry about the filth of this world infiltrating my home. It is a good movie.
  
  
• Good Film
  By ASJN2D3N3VWFN on 2008-07-09
  This is another excellent installment in the series. It is very enjoyable. You will need to hae seen the others in order to understand the full content of the story, but it is a good movie none the less.
