Ronda Rich ... Eager bookbuyer (uncredited)

PLOT:

via UP TV:

Based on the book by Ronda Rich and loosely based on her true story.

Abby Houston (Lauren Holly) is a smart, beautiful, successful author and fiercely independent Southern woman. When we meet her, she is curiously being kept captive in a remote cabin in the woods by an obsessed fan. Days earlier, Abby and her publicist Jamie (Lucie Guest) were visiting the lovely town of Bliss, Mississippi on her most recent book tour. The town of Bliss, local Magnolia Blossom B&B owner Charlotte (Valerie Harper) and their well-meaning prayer chain have big plans for her – as the perfect match for their widowed Mayor Spencer Alexander (Cameron Bancroft), a single dad of two.

A series of collisions, several bouquets and numerous good words later, Abby relents to having dinner with Spencer, and finds a handsome, earnest man. Eagerly encouraged by the entire town, they embark on a whirlwind, public romance. But just as they are about to share a first kiss, Spencer is reminded of his late wife and abruptly pulls back. Hurt and sad, Abby is determined to leave Bliss behind, only to find her obsessed fan waiting. With phones buzzing and the town mobilized, what happens next will determine her future.

Movie Review:

The setting is a small town in the South called Bliss, and at times, it was laugh at loud funny, sometimes silly, and moments that were also creepy… due to the fact that writer, Abby Houston, is kidnapped by an obsessed fan.

Mostly, however, this is a sweet romantic comedy. The townspeople of Bliss are extra excited to have a celebrity among them. They have determined, as soon as they meet writer Abby Houston, that she should date their mayor. However, Abby has met the former mayor, who is an older man, and she thinks he is the one they want to set her up with, so she is not interested.

In the meantime, she has seen the current Mayor, Spencer, around town, but doesn’t realize he is the current mayor. She finds herself somewhat attracted to him but misconstrues a comment he makes and believes he is married.

It’s a mixed up mess… until Spencer finally introduces himself to Abby and clears up all confusion. He is the current mayor and he is widowed. Just as they both start to fall for each other, Spencer abruptly ends one of their dates, and Abby decides it is time to leave. On her way out of town, though, her stalker is waiting…

Will Abby be able to get away from her stalker? Will Spencer come to her rescue? It’s a happy little ending you will surely enjoy!

MOVIE REVIEWS

Mail Order Bride:

Hallmark Channel Movie starring Daphne Zuniga (Melrose Place), Greg Evigan (My Two Dads), and Cameron Bancroft (Little House on the Prairie Mini-Series).


CAST:

Daphne Zuniga ... Diana McQueen
Greg Evigan .... Tom Rourke
Cameron Bancroft ... Beau Canfield
Vincent Gale ... Ghost
Patrick Currie ... Father Kelly
Tom Heaton ... Willy

PLOT:

from Hallmark-

Diana McQueen (Daphne Zuniga) has been working, against her will, for Boston conman Tom Rourke (Greg Evigan) since she was 12 years old, running scams, stealing and lying.

Diana's friend Jen, ill with tuberculosis, has been corresponding with Beau Canfield (Cameron Bancroft), a Wyoming Rancher she's never met, but plans to marry. When Jen dies, Diana seizes the opportunity to start her life over by stealing Rourke's money. Pretending to be Jen, she moves out west to marry Beau.

As Beau battles against the local Cattleman's Association, Diana falls back on her old ways, and jumps at the chance to get enough cash to run away again. Just when Beau figures out who Diana really is, Rourke discovers where she is hiding, and the ensuing showdown turns the whole town upside-down and changes the future for all of them.

Movie Review:

Welcome to... The Wild West!

Though I liked all of the main characters in this movie as actors... I must admit I was extremely disappointed in this script. I had such high hopes for it because I love Pioneer Style Movies like the Love Comes Softly Series, but this did not share the same trueness to the era.

Much of the dialogue did not seem true to the pioneer time of this story. Diana McQueen's low cut dresses did not seem appropriate, either. I was also taken aback by the suggestive talk between Diana and Beau. They were a bit too friendly and were later in bed together - though he was not well, they seemed to be inappropriately (as they were not married) sharing affection there.

Also, there is language and gun violence, much like other western movies.

Unlike most Hallmark Movies, this is Not a Family Film.

See or Skip:

If you are expecting Little House on the Prairie, then you should skip this one.

It is filled with cursing, gambling, gun-fighting, and sexual innuedos. 

However, it is a Hallmark Channel Movie, so it is definitely Not Rated "R", but perhaps - PG-13.

It's more of a Steamy Romance Western... Not at all - Love Comes Softly.
