Rose Hill (Hallmark Hall of Fame)

This is a superb family oriented western. The acting was excellent and locations were authentic in appearance. The seller was prompt and the movie arrived safely. I only wish it were on dvd.

Family movie

I loved this movie. I watched it 3 times when my DVD order first came. Then everyday after.This is about a family who are not even blood related and yet they loved, respected, protected, and were loyal to each other more than most of the families I knew in real life.This is a movie based on a book. It is not "the movie about the book itself". Therefore one must understand that it is not the "entire" story in the book nor the "Title of the Book" which is "For the Roses". A certain chapter or certain parts of any chapter/s maybe taken to make a movie out of it. If it is the movie "For the Roses", then it will be "Titled" such in the first place, but then again not "everything" written in the book could be expected to be in the movie.Even movies of "Real Life Story" are not everything as it happened - when made into movies.I will recommend families to watch this movie. Maybe most of them can learn "strong family ties" from it.

I love this movie. I looked for it on netflix and other streaming channels so my granddaughter suggested I look for it on Amazon and there it was. I ordered it right away. It plays great. There's no stopping or scratches. I read the book and it is different but it has the same storyline. No commercials.

I've been wanting this movie since the first time I saw it. I'm disappointed that there are scenes missing. My mother and I have watched this together on TV at least three times, so I ordered her one too. She told me parts were missing out on hers, and I need to check mines out. Low and behold mines was too. I think they deleted parts to fit the movie on a cheaper disc. That's the only reason for four stars

If you did not read the book beforehand (that the movie is supposed to be based upon - however loosely) you will be able to really enjoy this film.I read the book AFTER seeing the movie and I agree the book is very different.BUT for everyone who hasn't read the book - there are no expectations and no disappointments - and so you are in for a great story, good acting and a very enjoyable family movie. You will be surprised how unpredictable and entertaining the storyline is - IF you don't compare this film to the book (For the Roses). ENJOY!

I had seen Rose Hill before. I love the characters and the story line.It was good to see young children , especially four young boys take hold and raise the baby girl, Mary Rose. She didn't like the way her brothers protected her .She wanted to be independant .Wanting to find her real parents after she grew up and thought about her unknown history and future.There needs to be so much more compassion today , like back then. Today it seems no one cares what happens to siblings like Mary Rose. A very good movie for the whole family.

The movie got off to a good start, I was reminded of "Oliver Twist" when I saw the boys picking pockets in New York. The movie moves quickly as the boys run from the police, and at the same time we see a woman who, upon seeing the police, hides a baby in a wagon. When the boys steal the wagon with the baby the story quickly moves to the advertised plot.The boys quickly decide the police came to close to catching them and use their stolen money to buy train tickets to Kansas, taking the baby with them. Upon arriving in Kansas they quickly decide to give up their pick-pocketing ways since everybody there has a gun strapped to their waist. Fifteen minutes into the movie about six years have passed, the boys (now grown) are working in Texas and saving up money to start their own ranch. Twenty-five minutes into the movie they are living on their own ranch in Montana and the baby girl is now grown and this is where the movie slows from the fast paced adventure to a slower drama. The plot becomes more about the "brothers" being overprotective of their "sister" as well as conflicts with the changing culture as it relates to the cattle industry and law enforcement along with Mary Rose's struggle to free herself enough from her brothers control to have a romance. Eventually Mary Rose is told the truth about how she became a member of this unusual family and she travels back to New York to find her birth family. It is an enjoyable and family friendly movie, just not exactly the heartwarming style I expected from Hallmark.I have read several reviews from people who had first read the book I believe all were very disappointed by the movie. I have not read the book and therefore cannot make that comparison, but as a stand alone movie it is not exceptional but it is okay for family entertainment. The acting was good by both the younger actors and by the older actors who played the main characters. I liked the way the movie played with the idea of the interracial family, the oldest boy and leader of the "family" is black while the other boys and the girl are white. This is brought up from time to time in the movie but the movie never makes a big deal of it.

As advertised, arrived on time.
