Love's Unfolding Dream (2007) DVD Review:

Love’s Unfolding Dream is the latest (and possible last) entry in the series of made-for-TV movies based on Janette Oke’s “Love Comes Softly” books. However, as fans of the series probably know, the films are in no way faithful to their written counterparts, and Love’s Unfolding Dream is no different .Characters have the same names and some of the same events transpire, but the overall structure is quite different between the original novel and the resultant film adaptation.

While I have to admit that Love’s Unfolding Dream is about as far from my cup of tea as you could possibly get, it is actually a pretty good film for the entire family to enjoy. After all, the film itself is about family values, faith, and other such wholesome topics. Beyond that, there’s virtually no violence of profanity to speak of, making it good, clean fun for all ages. The film is also a good family film because it brings up issues that parents would probably enjoy discussing with their children. There are some good lessons to be learned in the film and many of the characters would probably make for good role models.

On the flipside of the coin, as you can probably already tell, Love’s Unfolding Dream is about as “Hallmark” as you’re likely to find. Heck, just look at the title. The film is cheesy, overly-sentimental, and even groan-inducing at times. From the maudlin music to the brightly-lit and cheery period-piece visuals, everything about the film is smothered with a thick layer of cheese. But once again, I say look at the title. A film called Love’s Unfolding Dream clearly isn’t aiming to be a disturbing dissertation examining the darker sides of humanity. The film isn’t trying to be anything more than what it is, so I can’t fault it too much. It may not be my type of film, but as a decent family film with good morals and lessons to be learned, it’s a perfectly reasonable outing.

There are zero special features on the DVD.
