4.0 out of 5 stars Good flick-warms the heart even if a bit sappy, November 7, 2005

By	Suzanne R. Strickland (Upstate NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I enjoyed Pt 2 far better than part one. The chemisty between Hasset and Bottoms was very obvious and worked really well in making you feel like you were watching them actually fall in love with one another. I am updating my video collection and can't find a DVD version of this movie for the life of me. Makes me very frustrated that so many "shoot them up" type movies with gratuitous violence are immediatey put in DVD format while a gentle love story with a solid message regarding disabled people mainstreaming into our society cannot be made available in the modern DVD format. The movie sends a great message to people (especially disabled phobs) and should be made into DVD format so kids, teens and young adults with DVD players can view and learn a few valuable lessons in tolerance, how love comes in many forms and most of all, how people with a disability can lead productive lives, meet a "signficant other" and be independent of overly protective parents, friends and learn to live a life of their own with whoever they chose to and hold down a job, as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderfully heartfelt movie, August 7, 2001

By	jeanette chisholm (orange, TX United States) - See all my reviews

I have seen both movies, of course "The Other Side of the Mountain" and this one. It's always heartbreaking to see a young life at the peak of a dream they have worked so hard for, come to such a disasterous end. Jill Kinmont was a great skier and slated for the olympics until she dived off a mountain leaving her paralyzed from the chest down. She is a very brave person and I have great admiration for all her courage and the way she fought her way back to doing something in life she loved. She had many tragedies in her life, with her boyfriend deserting her after the accident, and the boy she later loved getting killed in a plane accident, and the Father she adored dying. Thank goodness she had a wonderful Mother willing to care for her completely and she had her job cut out for her. She required a lot of care.

Timothy Bottoms came on the scene and it was almost love at first sight for both of them. How many men in the world would want that kind of responsibility? Yet, he did! It would take someone very special and obviously he is. She was fortunate enough to have had two men love her like that. I thought this was a wonderful movie and knowing it is a true story makes it even more special. I will watch it over and over and recommend it highly to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jill Kinmont learns to trust and open her heart to love., April 23, 1999

By A Customer

This story picks up approximately 15 years after the first movie. Having been named Los Angeles' Woman of the year, Jill Kinmont decides to go to Bishop to spend the summer. There she meets and falls in love with John Boothe, a local trucker whom she has little in common with. Grieving over past losses, she eventually learns to trust John and open her heart to love. This is a beautiful love story about the need all of us have for a soulmate.
