The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

This is my first review, and the one reason i'm actually writing this review is to express how much i absolutely adored this movie. i bawled my eyes out, cried rivers to say the least, over at least most of the 2nd half of this movie. Betty white is fantastic, you can sense the emotion going through her face, and billy magnussen also surprises me by delivering very well on his part. the scenes of them falling in love warms the heart, only to break it when we learn the truth at the end. it kinda reminds me of pearl harbour, and it surprises me how this movie is a little on the unknown side. Jennifer love Hewitt and Sean Faris make an interesting modern romance to compliment the hard core my-husband-is-off-to-battle kind of love. my only critique of this movie would be the fact that they used the song "dream a little dream of me" which i instantly recognized as being a song not produced till years after WWII (yes, i realized before reading the goofs of this movie :P ), but regardless it fits the scenario beautifully (and i can't say i don't love the Doris day song!) in conclusion, this is an absolutely terrific movie, casting especially was great, and if you're reading this before you see the movie, be prepared to end up puffy eyed after this.

I have never cried and smiled so much for a movie. Purely amazing, very heart touching. I recommend this to everyone and anyone. You could feel the emotions of the actors. I wasn't expecting it to be this good. And this is coming from someone who never cries while watching movies.Good for any age group. I guarantee you'll cry while watching this.I cannot explain how much I truly enjoyed this movie. Purely Outstanding . The Notebook used to be my favourite romantic movie. But after watching this, I have without a doubt changed my mind. If you ever get a chance to watch this, I highly recommend you do. I promise you will not regret it! Long story short,absolutely fantastic, and a must watch.

I watched The Lost Valentine this February 2013. I cried from start to finish. It was the most beautiful love story since The Note Book. What a wonderful touching story of a love so strong and so sweet that she never gave up hope.Please run this movie EVERY Valentine's Day it will touch so many people and it WILL become a classic.I will not post a spoiler because I want the next person who reads this to be excited about seeing this movie through their own eyes. That is if they can stop crying long enough!The performances by all of the actors was really lovely. Betty White was so perfect for the role and did a wonderful job. I hope it will be on regularly as a Valentine special because it is a wonderful movie.

Here is a story that so could have easily gotten out of hand, but it didn't. It stayed quite believable from beginning to end, with solid direction, writing, cinematography, and production from music to costumes. All the actors gave solid performances, but Betty White is in her glory here. Capping a life time before the cameras playing every part from bubble-head wife, to game show staple, to man-chasing TV "Home Maker" to senior Nordic-American widow, we now have a consummate pro, the caliber of Tracey or Heburn in their latter days giving a performance that is total "Emmy" caliber all the way. If you some how missed this, catch a rebroadcast, or put it on your purchase or rental list when it appears on DVD or Blu-Ray disc. You will not be disappointed. One caveat: Have the box of tissue handy because Betty's gonna get you!
