This film deals with the unusual subject of bringing up a severely disabled child. Although the plot does get a little convoluted, the film does convey a deeper pro-life message: all life, no matter how short, how precarious, how humble, is worthwhile. This message applies not only to the disabled child, but to the mother who cares for her constantly. The mother's sacrifice is not, as one character states, "six years wasted." Instead, the film tries to give some dignity to people society would like to forget. Unfortunately some of the subplots and flashback techniques can make the film hard to follow at times. I would definitely recommend this film for adolescents and adults-- the subject matter may be too intense for elementary-age viewers.

I loved Kimberly Williams in "Father of the Bride" and Campbell Scott in "Dying Young" and they were just so cute in this film. I couldn't believe how Mark could walk out on Diane and Julia like that, it was disgusting and it makes you wonder about the real life struggles single mothers face. It was sweet how Dave was always in love with her and stood by her no matter what happened to her and Julia.

Something I reckon if your into feel good movies

While on the surface this seems like a 'girl marries wrong guy' movie, it truly is so much more. The storyline moves a bit too fast, so you must pay attention...very close attention.

After Dianne and Mark find out their baby will be born with genetic disorders, Mark wants to abort the pregnancy; Dianne refuses - Mark takes off. Evidently Mark has unresolved issues about his mother's death in a hospital - but the movie gives very few details or background, so Mark doesn't generate any sympathy from the viewer.

If only he were more like his brother, David (the excellent Campbell Scott) - the soft-spoken, long-suffering doctor who keeps his love for Dianne to himself while helping her to take care of his niece.

The supporting cast is very good, especially Alexa Vega. The ending is a real tear-jerker (get the tissues ready), and my favorite part of the movie.

Some people don't care for these simple movies about triumphing over adversity, but I think it's wonderful - and you will too.

I just finished seeing this film, and to be honest I just turned in because nothing else was on and it starred Kimberly Williams in a leading role.

I was very surprised how the film got to me, it wasn't artificial Hollywood feelings or the great cinematography as you see it in Sam Mendes and co. great dramatic films. This film just has a lot of great actors, a subtle soundtrack and a great story.

This is definitely one of the best TV-films I've ever seen, that didn't star a mayor Hollywood name or several.

This is the league of In a Class of His Own which I also find quiet good, but this one is a bit better.

7.2 stars.

This is a profoundly endearing and touching film about a woman who gives birth to a disabled girl who requires around the clock care. She basically cannot function. She can communicate a little bit, but she cannot do anything else. She is immobile and probably has 25% use of her arms and hands.

The story is primarily about the trials and the tribulations the mother, grandmother and a young female helper experience while raising the girl. There are also two brothers in the story. The father of the girl and his doctor brother. The doctor brother helps care for the little girl as well. He is the primary care provider. She looks up to him almost like a father. The real father is a piece of work.

It's a very endearing story and I feel the performances are what carry this movie. Without amazing acting, this movie would never make the cut.

Hi, I'm Ander and I'm a 19 year old guy. This movie make me cry at a certain point. I haven't cried over a movie since 'dumbo', when I was about ten years old. But this story just clenched to my heart. It's romantic, sad, happy, beautiful and realistic. And the actors play their roles excellent. If you haven't seen this movie: go see it!! It's so great. I have seen it and I will see it again, and again and again. And so should you. Do not miss it!

Wow! This movie was just amazing! I went out and bought the book the next day! I couldn't believe a cheesy movie of the week could be this good. The movie is honest, heart warming and truthful about the ignorance of people and the mistakes we make. We not only are left to think "Did Dianne make the right choices in the movie?" but also think "Why would I do in her situation? Should she have had Julia? Would i react the same as her husband did? Is it wrong to date your brother in law? Should Julia's doctor really have been her uncle? What should be done with abusive boyfriends and alcoholics? Great movie! Buy it when Hallmark releases the video!

A marvelous film despite the fact that there is so much going on. A doctor, who never married, should have married his sister-in-law. Instead, she is married to his brother, a nice guy who can't take tragic events. He couldn't visit his dying mother in the hospital when he was 12 and years later, he divorces his wife because she is about to give birth to a very sick child who will not last that long. (Supposedly).

The film shows how the mother and grandmother devoted 6 years to the child. A second plot in beautifully inter-connected with the main theme when an older child takes a summer job to help the mother care for the child. This young lady comes from a broken home, where the mother's boyfriend routinely abuses her mother and creates mayhem.

Imagine the mother taking the young girl to San Francisco to see a play and they're hit by a drunken driver. Her ex-husband comes to the hospital and has it out with his brother and there is some terrific scene in the end when it appeared that the couple would reconcile. This story ended extremely well.

This is definitely a story of triumph defeating adversity.It is extremely well acted. It's great to view despite the tragic circumstances involving all.

"Follow the Stars Home" has been added to the list of mu favorite movies. Follow the Stars Home is ABSOLUELY FANTASTIC!! I really didn't expect it to be at first...but as soon as I saw the first half hour, I just wanted to keep on watching.

The cast is extremely good! Kimberly Williams portrayed Diane so well! I loved the storyline...Diane loving Mark, and Mark's brother David loving Diane. The ending was fabulous! (I thought anyways!)

I guarantee you that "Follow the Stars Home" is a movie worth watching!

I, loved the movie Follow the stars home!! I, give it 10 star's I, thought it was really great!! I, wish I, had it on DVD. Please Hallmark show it again. The movie staring Alex Vaga, is great she's a wonderful actress and she's so good in this movie and all thee other actors and actress in this movie and just as great as her.

I, watched this movie and came away with some much more then I, already had. I, really enjoyed this movie allot. Thank you for sharing this wonderful and beautiful movie with us all.
