My Movie Review of "The Lost Valentine":
(May contain a few early spoilers, but not the ending.)
"The Lost Valentine" is a beautiful touching reminder of how precious love is!
THANK YOU to all of our Service Men and Women - past and present. GOD Bless You All!
The World War II generation is a lovely setting for the love story of Neil and Caroline. As Neil is leaving with the Navy on a train - Caroline rushes to find him - and hands him a red envelope. Inside Neil finds a sweet Red Valentine shaped as a heart... written on it is a message telling him to keep it close to his heart and bring it home to her.
Betty White portrays Caroline, as an older woman now - recalling her love story with Neil, to Susan (Jennifer Love Hewitt), a TV Reporter. Neil was reported as Missing in Action those many years ago- and since that time, Caroline has returned every year on Valentine's Day to the train station to wait for him.
While Susan is following Caroline and Neil's love story - she is realizing herself, the meaning of true love. Her boyfriend, a nature photographer, has just proposed, and taken off again on another excursion halfway around the world. He often places his own needs and pleasures ahead of hers. Lucas, Caroline's grandson (Sean Faris), is altogether different. As a physical therapist, he is always helping others... as well, as being there for his grandmother. Susan instantly finds herself drawn to Lucas... and he to her.
This movie is a beautiful story of lasting love til the very end.
Tissues absolutely needed!
See or Skip:
See! "The Lost Valentine" is timeless love story!
*NOTE: There is nothing offensive in this movie, except there is one scene near the end I will caution for children, depicting war violence. This movie probably would not be entertaining for most younger viewers, anyway. In my opinion, "The Lost Valentine" is better suited for a mature pre-teen to adult audience - and could be used as a great historical lesson. The feedback I received after this film originally aired was incredible, so I know many viewers enjoyed this movie, whether they were looking back at their own, their parents, their grandparents, or even their great-grandparents generation!

I think that The Lost Valentine is very sad, along with The Color of Rain,A Godwink Christmas Meant for Love and Home for Christmas Day did you cry watching those movies that I mentioned?
ReplyDeleteChris, you're absolutely right... it is a rather sad movie, but there is a side story that is good, too. Personally, I typically prefer a happy, lighthearted love story, but I know many were touched by this beautiful movie. Plus, the military part of this story is heartwarming, showing the sacrifice our service men & women make for our freedoms. This movie is a wonderful reminder.
DeleteI found 2 more Hallmark Hall of Fame movies that are very sad they are Crossroads A Story of Forgiveness and Have a Little Faith.
Deletegreat lineup for both marathons
