Movie Reviews of Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman: The Movies (The Movie / The Heart Within)Movie Review: DQMW The Movies Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a fan of Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman (DQMW) since it first aired in 1993 on CBS. I watched every single episode and now own them all on DVD. I was so happy to see that the movies that were made after the show went off the air were released as well on DVD. I loved Revolutions aka Dr Quinn The Movie. It has lots of Sully (Joe Lando)!! The premise of this movie is that Katie, the Sully's young daughter is kidnapped because Sully wouldn't vote a certain way for a copper mining group. With the help of Cloud Dancing, Sully and Dr. Mike find a wagon that was in an accident and fear that Katie has been killed. Dr. Mike blames Sully for not warning them that by not voting for the copper mine he put their family, especially their daughter, in danger. They are all very sad after burying the little girl they found. But good news comes when word that there were two girls Katie's age traveling that day and a girl who favored Katie was seen with people in Mexico. After an autopsy performed by Dr. Quinn confirms the dead girl isn't Katie, they and their son Brian Cooper, and others from the series (town), Jake Slicker, Robert E., Horace Bing, and Cloud Dancing go to Mexico to get Katie back. They run into difficulties together and individually, but Sully and Robert E. save the day. This movie has it's usual wonderful cinematogrophy and historic mentions like the series did. It is a good adventure movie with a little bit of romance tied in for good measure. The Heart Within is the second movie on this DVD. It was written by the creator of the series DQMW, Beth Sullivan. In this movie, Michaela, Sully, Katie, and Brian are traveling by train to Boston for Colleen's graduation from Harvard. She lives there now with her husband, Dr. Andrew Cook. When they arrive in Boston, they are greeted by Dr. Mike's sister Rebecca who informs the group that Mrs. Quinn, their mother, is sick in the hospital. As luck would have it, Mrs. Quinn is released to go home as long as she doesn't over do it. She has been diagnosed with a heart condition. Again, as in the series, there are subplots throughout the movie. One is some men try to bribe Sully to help them do bad stuff. Another is Brian, who wants to be a reporter, is offered a job at the Boston Globe. And another is the prejudice that Colleen faces for being a woman and receiving the highest grade on the test to become a doctor. Sadly, Mrs. Quinn dies in this movie (Beth had a history of killing characters even when the series was on.) She leaves her money to her daughter Michaela so that she can build her dream hospital in Colorado Springs, and she leaves money to Colleen so that she and her husband can have their own medical practice in Boston. This movie wasn't as adventurous as Revolutions, but it had it's own moments when Sully let those bad business men know what he thought about their bribe and their threats! All in all, if you are a fan of this show, then you will like the movies. Unfortunately, The Heart Within doesn't have many of the original townsfolk in it like Revolutions does, but it is still great to see the Sully family once again. I wish there were more.
