Fantastic Country Movie
April 16, 2018
If you like movies that move your heart, make you laugh and cry all at once you'll want this movie in your video library. My husband watched it with our 17 year old daughter she loved it and I watched it again with her. It gives me same feeling when I watched the movie Pure Country if you like Pure Country you'll like this one. GREAT MOVIE!

Unrealistic; sends a bad message for those people of faith.
January 23, 2019
The problem with movies like this, is that it says to people of faith that they must forgive and let that person back in their lives. This is not true. You can forgive someone, but that doesn't mean you have to go back into that relationship that hurt you. I have a sister whose husband cheated on her many years ago. The church people kept telling her that she should forgive her husband and stay with him; that it was the “right” thing to do. I quoted her the scripture that says in the case of adultery, you have a right, biblically, to divorce that person. She didn't listen to me and stayed with him. He has cheated on her at lease five more times(that we know of). Yet to this day, she is still with him; miserable and is now desensitized to his actions. For those people of faith out there, nowhere in the bible does it say that you have to stay in that relationship that hurt you. Forgive, yes, but don't for one minute think you have to stay with that person. Life is not like in this movie. If this movie was true to life, Liam will leave again, and Josie and Billie will be heartbroken once more...

I'm one of the few who saw the movie before reading the book and I'm in sort of a conundrum. I loved the movie. It was sweet and filled with a poignant depth I just didn't find with the book. I enjoyed the book, but honestly can't say if it's because I had already seen the movie and wanted more time with the characters and the story.
People who have read the book and seen the movie know there's very little resemblance. The names are the same for Liam and Josie, there's a surprise child, and a small town, but other than that the book is a much different story, one that I found lacking depth and emotional connection. The narration, told in dueling, first person POV is mechanical and tells rather than shows. I never felt strong compassion for Liam's struggles that lead to him leaving Josie. I hated how Josie treated Nick, who for all intents and purposes was Noah's father. It was, in my opinion, something I might not have finished if I hadn't seen the movie first.
That said, I am interested in reading the next book and seeing Katelyn get her HEA, as her loss was the single most powerful thing about Forever My Girl.

This movie was a real disappointment. The plot and acting were mediocre. It's not worth the time or money. What was especially annoying is that Josie took Liam back and acted all starry-eyed about his fame after everything he had done to her. It was unsatisfying and unrealistic.

Eeh, I didn't like the movie as much as the book. I liked that the movie was PG and not as detailed on the sex scenes as the book was, but that was about the only thing I liked better about the movie. Liam in the movie did NOT match what I pictured him as when I read the book and they changed SO MUCH they almost shouldn't have said it was "based on" the book, they changed just too much. I was pretty disappointed.

OH Wow i loved the book and now I got to watch it on on video with closed captioned. Being deaf i could not go see the movie at the theater so I was waiting for it to hit Amazon to get it with close captioning. I am pleased at how close it was to the novel and the actors who play the characters fit the bill perfectly.

I read the book and the movie has its similarities but I would say for the most part it is different. It's still worth the watch as it's a great love story, but don't expect the book!

Nice romantic movie, great for couples and if you like country music it's even better. The soundtrack is really good. Has a good message, family-friendly.

Thought there were a few slow, odd scenes but mostly it was a sweet, feel good movie that I’d watch again if it were on TV.

This was my first amazon video purchase. I’m hooked. It was so easy, and it was a competitive price. This was the best movie! I’ve watched it multiple times. It was pretty “clean”. I’ve heard the book is more adult. Glad I bought it!
