Signed, Sealed, Delivered: From the Heart

Is the movie referring to New Salem in Pike County, IL population 136, and 75 miles west of Lincoln New Salem in Menard County, IL where Abe Lincoln lived for 6 years, and existed for 12 years before being abandoned & left for pasture? Tourists drive to New Salem to see where Abe lived only to find out there is an old New Salem and a new New Salem. And how/why did Oliver become so stuffy and boring? Was he abused as a child? Did his mother or father force him to be so freaking proper? It's hard to believe he has not changed from first movie to current movie. I imagine this has been addressed but I missed it.

Love this series - Signed, Sealed, Delivered - from Halmark. They have all been really good, and "From the Heart" is one of the best. The four story lines are interesting, emotionally engaging, currently relevant, and totally different! The character interactions are so good and the quirky personalities are spot on. Kudos to the writers, actors and staff.

More quirkiness and sweetness along with continuing puppy love.

There are perhaps four stories going on which are stretched out as they are woven together. One is a historical story speculating on what might have been for Abraham Lincoln. Another is the usual dead letter story which in this case is 15 years old. The last two are the developing affairs of our two Postables couples.,

I think that these Postables stories are best enjoyed by the faithful fans. Others may not take to this blend of romance and nerdy humor.

The acting in this particular episode is a little more conventional than in some episodes.

The lovely 17th century Scottish folk tune "O Waly, Waly" plays extensively through the movie and creates a sweet backdrop to four somewhat plaintive stories.

7.8 stars.

While this is not my favorite episode, it is still above average as a film and quite endearing. The romances between the two couples are underway, but they are still in the fledgling phases of their relationships. The early "honeymoon" feeling is happening between the two underlings, while the leads suffer a setback while trying to get their romance to bud.

There are some miscommunications between both couples and roadblocks in the progress of their love. This episode showcases the lack of effective communication and while interesting, the storyline as a whole is not quite as fascinating as a few of the other SSD episodes. Nonetheless, I enjoyed this episode, because it remains true to form, overall continuity is preserved, tears are shed, and we are entertained.
