Glenn Close was very good in this well-done soap. But,let's face it, children are not really such huggable little angels as these two are all the time. It was a foregone conclusion, of course, that the Walken and Close characters would be subjected to the basic melodramatic plot: they would encounter at least one problem, resolve it, and live happily ever after. Was it really necessary to have all the people (as well as one cat and one dog) be so unrealistically good-hearted and lovable? The movie would have been much better if there had been an attempt to go deeper than warm-hearted bromides and clichés. The depiction of life as it really was at the time would have been much more interesting.

Oh my God is such a wonderful film. I watched it on the channel Hallmark, and i tought that it will be boring, but i started to watch it, because there was Chris Walken (i heard he like Chris better like Christopher), and he is an amazing actor, and strangle sexy. The 2 children's are so nice and lovely, i think everybody wants such kind oh great kids:) Glenn Close is so nice ang beautiful in this film, and her role is also very good. A woman who tried to change old habits and and deep feelings. And there's a lovely ending!! Oh, and Mr. Walken is also great(like almost always). He plays perfectly the man who cant forget his wife and cant find the way to go on with 2 children's who lost their mothers but want live a normal life!! Great film i have seen it 5 times and i still love it!! 10/10

They had a real nice feel for the time and place with this one....I remember enjoying it alot. Oceans of grass to replace the Maine woods and shore, different mores and a different way of thinking. Walken really plays against type here, he is quiet and turned inwards...Little House on the Prairie done by Hallmark, if you will.*** outta ****

Nice little movie about life in the Prairie and about how a young widower can make a new life, and how his two children can relate to a new women coming to their home to "replace" their mother. No clichés (there could have been scores of them), sensitive story, good casting. Never before that movie had I sensed how Kansas and Maine, two states in the same country, can be so far apart, geographically and culturally.
