I recently saw this movie on Lifetime, the cable television network for women. It is a very romantic, though highly improbable, film. Through illness, a young mother and wife (Reba McEntire) is in a coma for twenty years of her life. Her husband (Tim Matheson) remains devoted to her, bringing her home from the hospital, when the hospital said that there was nothing more that could be done for her. Her husband said that he married her for better or for worse and ensconced her in their home, providing her with constant care and attention.

Meanwhile, the years pass by. Their beloved young daughter grows up, but Reba is always at the center of it all, as they talk to her, sing to her, and pattern her movements. Every care and consideration is given her, as she lays sleeping, seemingly insentient to her surroundings. Her best friend has looked after her daughter and husband, as if they were her own. When the best friend's husband dies, the husband and the best friend comfort each other. Then, the amazing happens. Reba wakes up from her twenty year coma and fights to regain her life, her husband, her daughter, and her best friend.

This is the story about their struggle as a couple and as a family to regain what has been dormant, but not lost. Reba McEntire gives a beautiful performance as the wife and mother struggling to reclaim her life and finding herself in a world she no longer recognizes and in a body that has aged twenty years since she last saw it. Ms. McEntire has an immensely likable persona and magnetic personality that shines through in this role.

Tim Matheson gives a sensitive and moving performance, as the devoted husband who finds himself initially conflicted as he struggles between the love he has for his wife and the love he feels for her best friend. He ultimately makes the only choice that he could make, as he finds himself falling in love all over again with his wife. Believe me, all the women watching this film will half fall in love with him. All women should be so lucky to have a husband as caring and sensitive as this one seems to be.

This is definitely a chick flick. The title song "Forever Love" is also beautifully sung by Ms. McEntire.

It's amazing how one woman could be such a great singer and an actress! This movie will make you laugh, cry, and appreciate the time you have with your loved ones and friends. I remember watching it and thinking there is no way that I could ever cope with a sickness that took away 20 years of my life...but Reba portrayed a lady that did it and got her life back on track! If you haven't seen the movie, you should beg for it to be released. This movie if for the Reba fans and those who love tear jerker movies! This movie may not be 3 hours long like Titantic, but the emotions and compassion will make you too fall in love with "Forever Love." Great job Reba!

I SEEN THIS MOVIE ON CBS WHEN IT AIRED ON TV. IF CBS WOULD PLAY IT AGAIN THAT WOULD BE GREAT. I WISH THEY WOULD REALEASE THIS ON VHS. I WOULD PURCHASE IT IN A MINUTE. A GREAT FILM..... REBA FAN....DP,FLORIDA

Forever Love is the story of a newly married couple in the 70's, played beautifully by Reba McEntire and Tim Matheson. A couple of years after having a baby, Reba's character slips in to a coma and wakes up 20 years later to find out that everything she had once known has changed. Her daughter is about to get married and her best friend has fallen in love with her husband. It's a great story about a love tested with the complications of the situation and is accompanied with beautiful songs by Ms. McEntire, including the title track,"Forever Love", which I can not say enough about. It is a breathtaking song and really shows off Reba's vocal talents. That song can be found, along with other great songs, on her new CD,"If You See Him". This movie really showcases Reba's acting ability like never before. She is AWESOME!!!!!!! I really recommend this movie to everyone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the movie, Forever Love, Reba McEntire plays a really great role. When Reba McEntire goes into a coma and her husband takes her home to care for her is a very sad time in the movie. When she is in the coma for 15+ years and finally comes out she feels like she is the outsider looking into a life that she does not have.

When she gets familiar with her family again and also sees what she forgets finds herself falling in love with her husband all over again.

Yes, this film may be a chick flick but guys you can watch it to. Maybe you could learn a little more about life just like us woman.

Go REBA!

all of the hallmark movies are awesome, but this is by far my most favorite. i saw it last fall and i think about it all the time. i am just waiting to see it again. reba did an awesome job. i love it when i hear her "forever love" song on the radio......all i can think about is the movie and i about cry all over again. i hope hallmark sees these reviews and sees how much we all loved it. please rerelease the movie. it's the best i've ever seen. a great love story and one that is worth being seen by everyone.

This is a Great Movie. I have seen it twice and would LOVE to have a copy of my own but it is OOP. Please Re-release it soon. If you haven't seen it...You NEED To.

Forever Love was an excellent movie. Reba was fantastic. This should definitely be released to video. Her other movie- Is there Life out there was also awesome and I was able to score a copy of that on video, and it would completely enhance my collection to get Forever Love. If you want to cry and laugh and love all over again, see this movie.

This movie is wonderful. I don't know how many love stories could withstand a 20 year coma. I own this on video. I have also seen it many times on Lifetime. I was happy to read the info on the movie which has been corrected for the DVD, On the video's jacket, they have the name of Lizzie's husband wrong (Alex)I am not sure why. Glad to see this was corrected for the DVD.
