Been looking for this movie for a while. I'm so glad I can find these "hard to find" movies on Amazon. The whole family saw this a couple times before I decided to look for it. I should say it has to touch some place in the heart when two 20-something men/boys actually tell Mom to find it. It's really nice that there are still movies out there with no gunfire, excessive swearing and show some family togetherness. I liked how emotional distance is bridged as the two girls start to see their father through kinder eyes than through those of the bitter aunt and her family. Sure, some of both girls acting is immature, but the meanings and feelings do translate. I also love just about any movie that Mary McDonnell is in. Give this movie a hearty hurrah!

This was an excellent DVD. For young children the initial scene may be considered slightly violent. The story is from a true life story and the acting was good. It was not a high action DVD.

I really enjoyed this movie - it's a modern tale of a marriage gone wrong and when the parents split up the father misses out on the joy of being an equal partner in the raising of his children. A word of caution, the scene at the start of the movie where the mother is brutally shot would be very disturbing for young children. I watched this with my ten year old niece and she was quite upset by it - particularly as the movie is based on a true story. Lovely to see the relationship develop between the two young girls and their estranged Dad and the realisation on the part of the girls that you don't need to live in a big house and have fancy clothes and gadgets to be happy!! Recommended.

" A Fathers Choice" --This is a great Movie. My copy was ruined when my VCR Quit & I liked the Movie so much, that I found it on Amazon & purchased it again. I have watched this Movie, time & time again.The Actors are excelent.

Based on a true story you are taken on the journey of a divorced father who hasn't seen his two daughters in years and due to an accident was now granted temporary custody. Both, father and daughters have huge lessons to learn - the father from being single to becoming a parent and the girls from moving out of the city into "the middle of nowhere". I don't want to give up to much of the story line but it's a film to be enjoyed by the whole family - heart-touching with some sense of humor - and it gives a message to everybody who will accept it.

Slow moving through the first 3/4 of the film. Several times I almost shut the
movie off.
The last part is well done, as the father and 2 daughters get close.
Acting was good.

I just purchased this DVD but have watched it several time. Peter Strauss played the abscent father of two girls the youngest having seen the murder of her Mother.They have to give up a rich life style to live on a ranch where their father is just a Rodeo cowboy. With the help of Mary McDonnel, a case worker from child services, he fights a wealthy Aunt and the ones who are investigating their Mom's death to keep his girls but must first win the girls. It is a must see. Good clean movie for the family.

excellent movie for the family. this is a movie you can watch over and over. worth buying

Great story line about a lost parnet and how the other parent pick up the pieces and changes his lif for the better.

This is a very good movie and recomend it to anyone that likes family movies.
