Janette Oke’s tales of Christian pioneer romance continue with Love Takes Wing. Belinda Simpson (Sarah Jones, Big Love), struggling to recover from the loss of her husband and her faith, comes to a small Missouri town to become the local doctor. Her reception is cold--the locals are surprised to find that she’s a woman--and she’s immediately faced with a tough challenge in the form of an infection that is spreading through the town that has everyone frightened and eager to blame the local orphanage as the source. With the help of her best friend, Annie (Haylie Duff, 7th Heaven), and the town’s handsome young blacksmith (Jordan Bridges), Belinda fights to find a cure--and to open her heart to love and the Lord. The fight with illness makes Love Takes Wing one of the most dramatically successful stories of the Love Comes Softly series; in fact, both romance and religion are relatively downplayed in favor of the medical mystery. If anything, the movie’s dramatic heart is the relationship between Belinda and a feisty young orphan girl (Annalise Basso) in whom Belinda sees a younger version of herself. A strong supporting cast, including Patrick Duffy, Lou Diamond Phillips (who also directed), and the ever-dependable Cloris Leachman, lends acting heft. Fans of the series will find Love Takes Wing a solid addition, and newcomers seeking wholesome pioneer tales can enjoy it without any experience of the previous films. --Bret Fetzer

3.0 out of 5 stars Belinda character dissappointing, May 17, 2009

We were so excited to see this next movie in the series. We even watched the previous titles to refresh our memory of all the details. So when we began the 7th movie, we were very disappointed to see that Belinda was so out of character from movie 6. Why didn't Scout play Belinda? Why didn't the director at the very least have her hair color changed to match the former Belinda? And we really missed the feisty demeanor that Belinda displayed in movie 6. It was a good story, but the change in the Belinda character was a distraction.

1.0 out of 5 stars Soooo Disappointing, April 30, 2009

I was so excited to see two more "Love Comes..." movies coming out. What a huge disappointment. They were just so predictable and corny lacking the acting and story lines of the first Love Comes Softly movies.
Here are some of the things I did not like about the Love Takes Wing and Love finds a Home movies. First of all if you're going to change the character actor could they please use someone with the same hair color? Or wig it with the same hair color. And personality is a must also. The Belinda charater in these two movies had blond hair and a soft demeanor not at all like the first grown up red head Belinda. Also back then they did NOT discuss pregnancies or lack of --- people were much more private and not telling each other all their personal problems. Not to tell it all but be forwarned that these two movies lack the acting and plots of the first six. Patty Duke was great! Love her in anything!

This review is from: Love Takes Wing (DVD)

Having watched the previous 6 movies in the Love Comes Softly series, and read the books, Love Takes wing and Love finds a Home, I was very disappointed that Love takes Wing was in no way related to the books by Janette Oke. What a shame to miss a portrayal of Belinda's life and travels with kindly Mrs Stafford- Smyth before her inheritance of the home and estate.
A good movie, but not Janette Oke's Love Takes Wing.
