Loving Evangeline (1995)

I just finished streaming this film on the amazon prime video free section, and all i can say about this film is that it is just about watchable, it is slightly intriguing at best.The plot is very slow-paced, the performances are not 100% great, but they're not completely awful. The hi-tech aspect is confusing, if you're a techno-hi-tech-geek then you will probably understand this feature, but watching this old 90s flick with the computer stuff featured has me thinking that back then maybe that was a hi-tech as they can get, the computer machine or whatever it is looks like a mini version of Commodore 64.Overall, this film doesn't really go anywhere, it tries to be a romance movie as well as a techno-thriller, it doesn't work, only a few films of this genre can actually pull it off.If you start watching this movie, stick with it until the end just to satisfy any curiosity, but there isn't much going on with this film, it's very bland.

Loving Evangeline:I have seen this film a number of times and I think it's a good one, unlike one comment that did not like it at all and wished others not wasted their time on it, I also think that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. People should make their own minds up if they like or don't like something, in this case a film. If someone says, don't watch the film because....! It is their opinion and their dislike not yours. make up in your own mind if you like or don't like. Critics most always try to get you to change your mind and sway towards the negative aspects about a movie. Reminds me of the news we see on TV, most always it's about bad things 90% through out the news cast. What about the good news !I like it! what about you..Dave THP

Sorry it wasn't like the book, but by not having read the book, I wasn't restricted by what to expect or compare. It had a little of everything (scenery, plot, dessert scene) to keep a guy sticking around past a zillion commercials on WE to find out what happens in the end. "Why did you move from California to - here?" is a question only found in a typical Canadian TV production like this. But hey, less crying than most Lifetime movies offer. Also, when you consider what is out there in the theaters these days at $10 dollars a head (plus, all the other "necessary" expenses - food, soda, etc.) this is inexpensive fare for the eyes and the brain. The popcorn at home was fine. The author should have sued anyway.

I love Linda Howard's books, (although I found 'Loving Evangeline' less likeable than any of her others, and the lead character Robert Cannon an unredeemable rake) but as the previous reviewer said, this movie is crap. There is absolutely no similarity between the book and the movie. Even in it's own right this movie has a total lack of redeeming qualities. I feel like Ms. Howard deserves an apology from the producers for doing such a thorough hack job of her book. If you have the option pick up another Howard book instead of watching this nonsense.
