Much has already been written about this film. The only thing I have to add is how disappointed I am that the screenplay strayed so very, very far from the book. The movie while wholesome and entertaining could have been much better had it stuck to the original story. The thing I liked least? The three bad guys who were never in the book and how a very pregnant Missy overtook one of them. COME ON! I will not recommend this movie. I'm so sorry. I really am. I tuned in hoping to see Janet Okes story come to life. I am so disappointed. This was my favorite book in the series. I wanted to see the wagon train and all the things that happened along the way. I wanted to see the sod house. I wanted to see more of the town where Willie left Missy to have her baby. And has anyone figured out just how long this girl was pregnant? For like a year at least. Why was cookie portrayed like some stereotypical old black guy? Not how I saw him at all. I am going to the library at church tomorrow and I'm going to have to re-read my beloved stories to get this pooey old movie version out of my head.
