Love Finds You in Valentine (2016 TV Movie) User Reviews

A predictable romance

[phd_travel · 6/10 · 11 August 2017]

This movie isn't anything to do with that Love series set in the Wild West with Christian themes. Instead this is about a law school graduate who inherits a ranch she has not seen before. She goes back and falls in love with the place and the foreman who has a bit of a troubled past. Michaela MacManus is quite beautiful as the lead. Diego Morada who has played Jesus in the recent Roma Downey biblical movies plays the foreman. There is a predictable romance. Lindsay Wagner of Bionic Woman plays the foreman's adoptive mother. The countryside looks bucolic. Some light drama involving a bad man from the guys past and some Romeo & Juliet style history regarding her family ensues.

An okay watch.

Gentle, uplifting, and thoroughly enjoyable!

This isn't an Oscar movie, and it's quite predictable, but I loved it! Great acting, a lovely story line (with some bits of mystery) and a stunning setting. I finished with a lump in my throat and smile on my face.

Sweet, predictable, decent watching

[mosquitocyn · 5/10 · 24 September 2022]

A straightforward, sweet & predictable romance movie. Nothing to be excited over, just decent. Watching. It's appropriate for watching as a family, with your date or on your own. Great scenery and if you like country scenery with horses, then this is a good choice. Nothing complicated here, just good to watch to relax and take away some stress. Acting is ok, nothing to shout about. Chemistry between main leads is alright, nothing to set your heart flipping. Halfway through the movie, I felt I had watched it before - well, that just told me it wasn't memorable first time round but ok enough for me to re-watch on a lazy afternoon.

OK

[Jackbv123 · 7/10 · 28 March 2021]

Seems like I just watched almost the same story a couple weeks ago. So much is predictable.

Some of it is a bit cheesy. Somehow parts of it felt clumsy. Kennedy's speech to Derek near the end was poorly done - overplayed.

Even so, most of it is a sweet story with a bit of intrigue and danger thrown in.

I haven't seen Michaela McManus before, but I liked her. I didn't see much chemistry with Diogo Morgado. He was too reserved and their screen time was diluted with so many other things going on. A lot of the movie is about Kennedy finding out about the ranch and her history.

Charming

[phoenixinvictus · 7/10 · 9 January 2023]

This is a simple story that sort of follows a Romeo and Juliette family type of feud. The main protagonist inherits her father's ranch which she has never visited but intends to sell. For some reason her father leaves an odd clause in his last will that she must visit the ranch before selling. Obviously there is a handsome love interest who is the foreman and a boyfriend she left back home. It's very formulaic and predictable but in a charming way. The protagonist falls in love with the ranch, the foreman and heals generational wounds by forgiveness. There are a couple antagonists to keep the story interesting.

Much Underrated Movie

[jiaidc · 7/10 · 7 July 2023]

I don't understand the poor ratings this movie receives. It's a very well written movie. It speaks to the silly issues that tear families apart. I know too many families that have been ripped apart by prideful silliness. I guess it seems so absurd it happens to your family.

The acting is good with an interesting cast. I enjoyed this movie and it holds up over time. I would recommend this movie to anyone looking for a simple movie with an engaging plot.

I like that the lead actress was unknown to me. It makes it easier to believe her in the part. In too many movies I've seen the actor in so many movies that all I see is an actor playing a part. The movie is much more engaging when you can believe the actor in her part.

One of those guilty pleasures

[malaquias · 7/10 · 3 January 2024]

The plot is quite predictable and it also has a lot of holes in it. But somehow it is very pleasurable to watch, if nothing else for the scenery and McManus' blue eyes.

If you have a passion for sappy B-Movies, this one's for you.

In the feel-good genre, this movie is a nice one.

I would have gone without the good guys versus bad guys subplot, which was not very enticing and poorly written, but most of all distracted from the main plot of family feuds, human love, and romance.

Ed Asner's role is too stereotypical, and he wasn't given time and room to explore it, which is a terrible waste. He could have done so much more for the movie, but it was reduced to old clichés.

Great Story!

[ktjones-55315 · 10/10 · 21 November 2018]

This movie was a breath of fresh air! Great story line, great acting! I will be watching this for years to come!

Romantic film

[rproth-58153 · 5/10 · 28 March 2021]

It was a nice movie. I was highly disappointed that this was not filmed in Nebraska. The real town of Valentine is so charming. Sadly, it was filmed in Ohio.

Sweet Love Story

[D-nise · 10/10 · 23 August 2019]

Sweet love story I got to enjoy with my husband. Not all that predictable. In fact my husband and I made a bet over something we thought would take place. Now he owes me a back massage. *wink

Wonderful

[staffangustafsson · 10/10 · 23 July 2021]

Just watch it and cry. Wonderful movie. Nice music to.

Michaela McManus is entrancing.

[Racingphan2 · 8/10 · 6 September 2021]

We're watching this movie right now on Up, and I can't get over how Michaela McManus completely owns the screen. She's beautiful, but also such a great actress that she conveys every little subtle emotion with just a look.

Throw in the Bionic Woman and Ed Asner and you have an instant classic.

I'll Be watching this movie for years

[Brad_Steel_The_Podcast · 9/10 · 7 August 2020]

While I was originally trying to watch Cyber Seduction, it turns loved does finds me in Valentine!

What an exciting film full of twists and turns. You really won't believe the Italians.

Also, Chicago seems terrible.

The acting was stoic...and calm.

My 21 and 4 year old daughters love Ed Asner, so seeing his still body was a real treat, especially when you mix dandelions into the mix. I love a good movie that centers around a festival.

Thank you for your time and best wishes, The Podcast

P.S. The circle cross shall reign for all time.

This movie is very real!

[josephdragonforce · 10/10 · 11 February 2024]

Really good acting. Even though there are no famous actors in the film, the actors are coming across very real. The old grandfather is smashing it even! Amazing scenes. You really would like to live in a place like this. High quality camera. You can see the small details on the long distance shots. Good music. It goes with the story really well and it would be good to listen to it just in itself. Strong story and message. There is a love story but the characters didn't just came out of the wallpaper. They have their past that shaped their personalities. There is action and a moral lesson to learn. Just perfect! :)
