As in other fine Levinson-Halmi productions, there is one scene which is beautifully sensual without being overtly sexual. It will take the breath away from any romantic out there watching "Where The Magic Begins." WOW!
From the very first accidental coincidence all the way to the highly anticipated conclusion, the story runs smoothly. All the "coincidences" fall into pace quite naturally and none seems contrived or fake. This is an excellent vehicle for Ed Asner in his older years. Although he isn't the star of the movie, Asner plays Luke Spelman, the pivotal character around whom the plot revolves. He leads it well. Peter Jason is great as Richard, and Lois Nettleton is Rosie Spelman, the rather "ditsy-pollyanna-ish" wife the role calls for. Ben Weber as Paul is self-absorbed and egotistic, but he is not shallow. He is merely a product of his own environment. With his first appearance, it is obvious that he will never fit into the atmosphere where his fiance, Faith Spelman, dwells. Faith herself must eventually realize that fact and change the courses of several lives. Alice Evans is Faith, a woman with her head in the right place and her heart to soon follow.
It is John Newton as Sgt. Cody Cullen, recently of Afghanistan and on R & R Leave, who steals the show, and rightly so. Only watching this movie several times (and you will !) can enable the viewer to absorb the nuances and subtleties of the script's plot development.
It is a perfect date-flick. ... Read More
Rating: - Uplifting story of unselfish love
My husband and I both enjoyed this film. It is clean, uplifting, and shows what love really means. This movie is a refreshing alternative to the usual entertainment out there.
Rating:  - mixed opinion
I'm Army, so I know how Army guys are. The image is too perfect. Army guys are crusty; this shows them as spit and polish all the time. They smoke, they cuss, they aren't perfect gentlemen. The beginning is corny and scripted. The acting at first isn't good. Mortar attack, and it's all taken in stride? No fear, no trauma, no emotion? The good news is the story gets a lot better later in the movie. We liked it quite a bit later. Still, nobody knows where he was from days or weeks into the relationship? Ready to leave the church without saying he got a card in Afghanistan? I don't think so! Still, all in all, we liked the movie.
Rating: - Better Than Expected by far.
I rented this on a whim without too big of expectations. Was I surprised at how great it was so I am going to purchase one for myself.The story has been told by others., so I will only comment on the film. It didn't have big name actors so had to depend on the story line, acting and views to get across the story. This is a good clean family romantic movie for all but the hardest heart. I had a enjoyable evening with a chocked up throat and a few tears and a very good feeling at the end. When I have had a bad day, I'll pull it out and watch it to boost my moral. Do like I did, rent it first and if you don't want to buy one, I'll be greatly surprised. Too bad there isn't more movies like this one.
