Good entertainment, nonetheless, for the family on a Saturday night. Why "Rose Hill" fell far below the mark for me. More experienced male actors and lead actress would have brought out more sentiment the story deserves. This movie appears to be loosely based on the book "For The Roses" published in 1995 by Julie Garwood. Most of her books are light entertainment that puts a smile on my face. I read this book when it was originally published in paperback, what may be 20 years ago now. Prime members enjoy free & fast delivery, exclusive access to movies, TV shows, games, and more. Too many main details have been changed. The only saving grace is that it is so off base from the book you wouldn't recognize it. They took a truly heartwarming and touching story and OBLITERATED it for the masses. i don't really know what to say. But don't expect it to be another Lonesome Dove or even Lily Dale.

Ships from and sold by Amazon.ca. It is almost as fresh and fun as it was originally. To say this movie completely missed the mark is an understatement. Everyday low prices on a huge range of new releases and classic fiction. Maybe they'll have a little more in them about how Harrison & Mary Rose are doing. Please try again. I realize a few things have to be changed, but come on! The book it is based on is absolutely excellent. Prime members enjoy FREE Delivery on millions of eligible domestic and international items, in addition to exclusive access to movies, TV shows, and more. However, except for Jeffrey Sams, Kristin Griffith, and the young boys, performance of the rest of the cast is rather wooden. First things first; Julie Garwood is a phenominal author. The book is a beautiful tale, with lovable characters. So many lessons taught here. With Jennifer Garner, Jeffrey D. Sams, Zak Orth, Justin Chambers. Hello Select your address Best Sellers Today's Deals New Releases Books Electronics Gift Ideas Customer Service Home Computers Gift Cards Sell I compare this film to a film made abt my own ancestors..TRUE WOMEN. The screenwriter should have followed the book a lot more closely - they even made Mary Rose a brunette. Sorry for the length, but I have to say that that flat out sucked. If you have read the book, don't bother watching this movie. Mary-Rose is warm and sweet and her relationship with Harrison (not her brother, though they did make someone Scottish in the movie) is one of the best romance tales ever. Other reviewers have mentioned the Hallmark made for TV movie, Rose Hill, which was inspired by this novel. Such an incredibly heartwarming and heart provoking story of four young orphaned boys finding and raising a foundling infant girl in late 19th Century NYC...and becoming a family. It is almost as fresh and fun as it was originally. And Mary Rose's true family is from England, not New York. An excellent film, well done in format, scenery, time frequence and I did say frequence...plus well done for survival and justice. This should have never been based on For the roses. As soon as you think you've gotten it figured out, the situation(s) takes a sharp right turn and leaves your butt in the dust. You're listening to a sample of the Audible audio edition. After reading several books that I didn't really like it's always nice to come back to reread one of Garwood's books. There are so many changes to the plot that I couldn't get into the movie totally, I mean one of the brothers gets killed? Since I read the novel this is based on so many,many times. Very talented writer, the images she paints in your mind while your reading are terrific, the occasional touches of humor, the plots are diverse as are the locations of her stories.

Just no. I originally got very excited when I heard this movie was coming out. Over thirty-five million copies of her books are in print, and she has had at least 24 New York Times Bestsellers. I have never read the books, but I'm glad to know Mary Rose wasn't the selfish brat that she is portrayed like in this movie.

But soon, a shattering secret would challenge everything Mary Rose believed about herself, her life, and her newfound love. I'm crazy about Alias, but I don't want to see her stuck in a kick-butt girl role. How interesting does a movie about a bunch of homeless teenage cowboys finding and raising a child sound?

The only negative thing about this book is I would have liked a longer HEA for the H & h. I haven't read the books about the 4 brothers. Lord Harrison Stanford MacDonald brandished a six-shooter and a swagger, but he soon proved to be a gentleman to the core.
These boys manage to purchase a train ticket and head West with the baby girl, Mary Rose,(Jennifer Garner).

there are so many difference in the movie and book that i don't know where to start. When I found out they were making a movie about it I was so excited. Buy For the Roses by Garwood, Julie online on Amazon.ae at best prices. Totally unpredictable. One of her bestselling novels, ‘For The Roses’ was adapted for the Hallmark Hall Of Fame TV movie named Rose Hill. Maybe they'll have a little more in them about how Harrison & Mary Rose are doing. This is a film I could very well see over and over again. I like Julie Garwood's sense of humor. Jennifer Garner alone was enough to ruin it for me. I enjoy Hallmark Hall-of-Fame movies, and I was interested to see some early work by Jennifer Garner, but this story was weak and underdeveloped. A fabulous story of dropping all prejudices, respecting one another and living in peace. There was an error retrieving your Wish Lists. It's been criticized by hardcore Julie Garwood fans for not being at all like the novel and, while I agree that the movie is highly flawed in several areas, I find myself wishing that the novel had been more of a drama. The acting is good, and the story is really good. The girl at points can be annoying, especially when her brother is dying and she's hitting on the guy who shot him. The movie changed characters, killed characters off that survived in the book, made Mary Rose into a snotty little brat and a thoroughly unlikeable character. The heroine is drawn a trifle TOO perfectly but perhaps that's her one flaw. It was terrible! Your recently viewed items and featured recommendations. As a fan of 19th century frontier life stories, this sounded very interesting. Many males are NOT matching to the cuz or uncle or father they thought they were from, for the very reasons shown in this film. Directed by Christopher Cain.

Hello, Sign in. So, I read the other reviews, and I thought it couldn't possibly be as bad as people wrote. A fabulous story of dropping all prejudices, respecting one another and living in peace. The person in the movie with the most personality is Stringer, which does not appear in the book at all. She looks more like the four brothers' mother ! First off, none of the brothers die or have any romantic interest, so if Hallmark decides to finish the series off and anthologize the last four books, they'd better figure out how to bring Cole back to life and do away with the "Adam and Shining Water have a baby" bit all at once. The novels written by Julie have been translated into a number of languages all over the world.

If you've read the book, don't watch this movie. It was heart-warming and clean, if that's what you're looking for, but characters for me were unbelievable and the plot just never developed enough. This was the first of the Julie Garwood books I read, since then I've read at least a half a dozen or more of her books. Hello Select your address Best Sellers Today's Deals Electronics Customer Service Books New Releases Home Gift Ideas Computers Gift Cards Sell The family does not break up in the end, showing that the true testimony to the story is not the romance aspect, but truly the family that stayed together throughout all the troubles.

All in all, one of the best of the genre.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. In the movie, the characters' names remained the same as in the book, however their personalities, IQ's and roles in Mary Rose's life were altered greatly. But what made me truly angry was the writer's gall to bring in new characters and nix out the true characters who made this story what it was to me! Don't know why they keep repeating it on TV. I love Julie's books, but when they did it, they changed so much of the plot that it's not the same. i do, however, suggest that you do read the book. I felt as if I was watching the book's alternate universe/ending. The storyline is heart-warming and the cinematography is beautiful. The story is full of details and every character is painted with loving detail. And since this site requires 10 lines of type in a comment and that's all I have to say, the rest is just filler. i won't try to explain(thank god) because i will be here all day. This is a very interesting and fun family movie with drama, romance, adventure, and a bit of humor in the Old West and the more "civilized" East. i think that if their romance had be put into the movie, that the movie would have been so much better.

So many lessons taught here. The movie lacks the quirky charm of the novel that I love. I can't remember all the details, but I really enjoyed this movie. And Adam becomes sick with consuption???! If you read the book, don't watch the movie. That is until I saw it. This film caught me off guard when I viewed young boys picking adults pockets in a crowd in NYC and policemen blowing their whistles like in London, England. It is almost as fresh and fun as it was originally. When some friends wanted to watch it, they explained the plot to me. Most of her books are light entertainment that puts a smile on my face.
