I saw this movie, for the first time, on our TV here recently. I found the storyline very touching, and the Chemistry between the main characters extremely good.
The only one small thing I found was that neither the Writers nor the Film Makers could do simple mathematics when it came to how long M/s Elizabeth Whitcomb had been dead. We're told that its over 100 years. The "Love letter" found in the desk was dated 1863, when M/s Whitcomb claims to be 29 years old. On her tomb stone, M/s Whitcomb is said to have died aged 67: some 38 years after she wrote that initial letter. 38 + 63 = 101. Therefore, one has to assume that she actually died in 1901: just 97 years prior to the letter being found, rather than over 100 years as stated several times in the movie. Still, I suppose correct mathematics don't really matter in an item of fiction.
Despite the above comment, I very much enjoyed this movie, would love to see it again, would recommend it to anyone who likes a good love story, and yes, I WILL be buying the DVD.
GOOD, CLEAN ENTERTAINMENT through and through; for which reason, I gave it 10/10. A GREAT LITTLE MOVIE.
