Missie Grows Up - By: Alejandra Vernon, 21 Aug 2005
Though "Love's Enduring Promise" doesn't measure up to its predecessor, "Love Comes Softy," it is nevertheless lovely to follow up on Clark Davis & his family, who share their joys & sorrows, & their faith, strength, & commitment with one another. Missie is now a young lady, with serious choices to make. She is a schoolteacher, & is being pursued by a wealthy surveyor, but when Clark suffers an accident & can no longer work the farm, a young man comes to their aid, & the viewer knows long before Missie does, that he is a better match for her.

The dialog & scene progression don't flow as well in this 2nd film, but I wouldn't mind seeing a 3rd & even 4th installlment, as it is refreshing to see this type of family entertainment, where people speak without cursing, & keep their clothes on. It would make an excellent TV series, as it is full of wonderful characters, & themes of hope & redemption. Directed by Michael Landon Jr. for Halllmark, it is a little like his father's wildly successful "Little House on the Prairie." Based on a novel by Janette Oke, the 19th century plot is filmed in beautiful California locations, like Sable Ranch in Canyon County, with cinematography by Maximo Munzi.

The cast: January Jones is good as Missie, with Mackenzie Astin as Grant, her rich suitor, & Logan Bartholomew, who is an exceptionallly handsome & capable actor. as Nate. Katherine Haigl repeats her role as Marty, & as Clark, Dale Midkiff once again is superb. Cliff De Young plays Zeke, an embittered man with many scars that need healing. Total running time is 87 minutes.
