Personally Yours 2000

     This film is inspired by a true story and the setting is in Alaska and it’s also titled Falling in Love Again.  Susannah Stanton has been divorced for two years and she’s wondering if she’s made a mistake?  Susannah felt bored and lonely at the ranch where they lived because of the isolation.  Her ex-husband, Jesse Stanton is featured on a magazine cover and he starts getting bags full of letters from admiring women!!  They are attracted to Jesse because he’s handsome and an Alaskan rancher and sportsman.  He hosts guests at the ranch for fishing and tracking.   Susannah has opened her own restaurant in Anchorage but she feels her life is lacking something?  Maybe she’s a little jealous that Jesse is getting so much mail and attention?  They have three children, two daughters and a son.  There is teenager Bridget, young Hannah and young Sam.  The kids start thinking about taking matters into their own hands about the circumstances their parents!!

     This movie seems like a Hallmark or Lifetime movie but it’s not?  Jesse does a lot of flying from his ranch to Anchorage.  Their three children have caused confusion within the family.  They wrote a letter to a popular magazine called Alaskan Love about their Dad.  They didn’t realize their Dad would be inundated with letters from interested women!!!  Usually, reconciliation after a divorce is not common and is unlikely to happen for most divorced couples.   3* (This movie is OK)
