Movie Reviews of Hallmark Hall of Fame DVD Promise
Movie Review: YES!!!! FINALLY!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the DVD, watched it with my own eyes, but am still struggling to really believe that it's true! For years, every time I saw that a Hallmark movie was on, or in any other way was reminded that Hallmark makes movies, I'd get on the internet and search for this movie. "Promise", in my humble opinion, is simply the best movie that Hallmark has ever produced.
James Garner gives an outstanding performance as a man who's life is turned upside down due to a promise he made to his mother, that he would care for his schizophrenic brother in the event of her death. Piper Laurie gives a terrific performance as well, but James Woods is unquestionably the star, giving a bravura performance as Garner's brother "DJ".
I'm not going to give any more of the story away. Suffice to say, there is a reason that this is, as listed on the DVD case, the most highly acclaimed and award winning Hallmark movie ever. I couldn't possibly recommend it more highly.
