3.0 out of 5 stars Edited DVD, December 26, 2006

The original movie was excellent, but the "Feature Films for Families" version leaves out critical information and scenes that make the outcome of the movie more meaningful. This DVD should be marketed honestly as an edited (censored) copy of the movie. I would've preferred the original.

I was disappointed in this product as it had been edited from the TV version I had originally seen. I didn't realize the DVD was being offered by a 'family values' group. Although the original version was barely PG, the editied version is now definitively G. Several lines of dialogue between the 2 main adult characters were removed and an early scene which defined what kind of man the main character was has also been removed. It's still a good movie and if you haven't seen the original, you probably won't care. Personally, I dropped off the DVD at the Salvation Army and just kept my video-taped off the TV version - commercials and all. For me, the interaction between the 2 main adult characters was what had made the movie worth $25 (with shipping), so losing that was a big disappointment for me. For me, it was a waste of money. If you have kids, though, it would probably be a good buy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unhappy with edited version, December 26, 2007

Borrowed Hearts. The original version is a wonderful story, but they edited this version making it lose it's continuity and understanding, and have basically ruined it. We tried to return it to the seller, but they were rude and argumentative and now Amazon has started an investigation into this problem and hopefully we'll get our money back. If not, we will have wasted our money and will never order from this particular company again! They should be required to put, "Edited For Children", with their ad so adults would know not to buy the item.
