Love this series - Signed, Sealed, Delivered - from Halmark. They have all been really good, and "From the Heart" is one of the best. The four story lines are interesting, emotionally engaging, currently relevant, and totally different! The character interactions are so good and the quirky personalities are spot on. Kudos to the writers, actors and staff.

A valentine story like only the postables could tell...sweet and romantic with a little touch of history.
cgvsluis11 October 2023
Eric Mabius (Oliver O'Toole), Kristin Booth (Shane Mcinerney), Yan-Kay Crystal Lowe (Rita Haywith), and Geoff Gustafson (Norman Dorman) are back in one of the more endearing entries in the Signed, Sealed and Delivered series. This film has not one but four love stories to follow, starting with a historical one possibly involving Lincoln and his first love who passed away before the two could be together. It demonstrates an early American homemade valentine and she got the idea because it was all the rage in Europe. The second story involves a post office box that blew up 15 years prior...and a confession of murder. Then it's on to our two postable couples, Oliver makes a homemade valentine invitation for Shane, but unfortunately she doesn't get it in time which leads to confusion as Oliver thinks she is pretending she didn't get it in order to avoid conflict. Then there is Norman and Rita who are both excited to spend their first Valentine's Day together...until unforeseen events catapult Rita into traveling for Miss Special Delivery and when interviewed for a national broadcast she claims to be single...which just breaks Norman's heart.
The show runner's of this series have an amazing way of putting you through all of the emotion in the best way possible. I thought I was going to make it through the entire film without crying...and then they got me, I was crying by the end. I like the use of soft jazz and cinematography to let the story breathe.
I am a big postables fan. I love the history and the little lessons on etiquette and the United States post office. It is a beautiful reminiscence of a time gone by. I like that Oliver wears nice suits that make him look distinguished. Shane has her own professional style that has me eyeing sheath dresses again! And that brings me to Rita, who with her Vintage inspired wardrobe is a girl after my own heart! Kudos to the set design and costume design teams!

Another sweet story

More quirkiness and sweetness along with continuing puppy love.
There are perhaps four stories going on which are stretched out as they are woven together. One is a historical story speculating on what might have been for Abraham Lincoln. Another is the usual dead letter story which in this case is 15 years old. The last two are the developing affairs of our two Postables couples.,
I think that these Postables stories are best enjoyed by the faithful fans. Others may not take to this blend of romance and nerdy humor.
The acting in this particular episode is a little more conventional than in some episodes.

Postables Much Better than Extra Storyline

Warning: Spoilers
The postables and their adventures continue to be the best part of this series. The recipients of the mail have been less-than-intriguing, even problematic. The story of a young white man who committed murder but was excused by the court in order to become governor follows too closely to recent headlines, and it was hard for me to see past the murky justice system reflected here.
