DVD Review: Love Finds You in Valentine

Love Finds You in Valentine
[DVD Love]

Based on the romance novel Love Finds You in Valentine, Nebraska, this 2016 film is one of a series of three that were produced for cable television. City dweller Kennedy Blaine has inherited her grandfather’s ranch and decides to visit one more time before putting it on the market. As she encounters and gets to know the handsome young foreman, Derek, and his mother, the general caretaker of the property, she grows to appreciate what she has been gifted and starts to reconsider her options. And she starts to fall for Derek and he for her. However, there’s someone else who’s itching to acquire the property and doesn’t hesitate to try scaring and intimidating Kennedy into selling it. Michaela McManus does a very nice job as Kennedy, and Diogo Morgado turns in a sincere and compelling performance as Derek. Portuguese actor Morgado is best known to American audiences for his portrayal of Jesus in the History Channel’s hit miniseries The Bible, produced by actress Roma Downey. Lindsay Wagner and Ed Asner appear in supporting roles in Love Finds You in Valentine. Although the scenery is nice, it is not the Valentine, Nebraska area, alas.

[If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try the Love Finds You… series of books, by a variety of different authors; Love Finds You in Sugarcreek and Love Finds You in Charm on DVD; Son of God on DVD or from Hoopla; The Bible: The Epic Miniseries on DVD.]
