The only other thing that keeps this plot from being zero is the intriguing underdeveloped subplot between Belinda and Mrs. While discussing the roles of frontier women is an interesting topic, it cannot be properly appreciated in the context of this film. The “excuse for Drew to go to the doctor” device is highly overused. Dialogue is very hollow, thus forming plastic characters. Characters go here and there, from one place to the next, with no real plot flow. ‘Plot’ is relative because a collection of random empty sequences depicting silly stereotypical frontier characters is not a true storyline. It cannot be understated that the original intent of Janette Oke’s work has been completely abandoned and replaced with a shallow inspirational ‘plot’. returned to the writing department, things did not improve. In short, there is really nothing new here-at this point, the saga settled into average production quality and awful plots and acting. Finally, the editing is uneven, pasting stock scenes together in an attempt to create a movie. As will be discussed in depth later in this review, the costuming and makeup are particular horrible in this film. The historical surroundings are fairly well done, but they are obviously limited in scope, as the same sets are used excessively. The sound quality, however, is sometimes inconsistent. The video quality and camera work are solid. The story of Unfolding Dream’s production is much like the latter installment. Little do either of them know that their carefully chosen paths are about to be altered forever.Īnother unnecessary installment in the Love Comes Softly series, another quasi-inspirational director. Belinda becomes her nurse and physical therapist, but that’s not the only task on her mind-a young lawyer has come to town to ready some inherited property for sale, and the two of them clash over their views of women’s roles in society. She is finally and begrudgingly allowed by the local doctor to assist him in a small role, and she gets a ‘big break’ one day when a wealthy yet elderly woman has a stroke in the middle of town and is confined to bed. Raised by her new family, Belinda Tyler is now ready to set out and make a life for herself, even though the culture she lives in frowns upon women pursuing professional careers.
