Follow The Stars Home (2001)

Dianne Parker (Kimberly Williams) meets and marries the handsome and charismatic Mark McCune (Eric Close), never noticing the quiet attention of his brother, David (Campbell Scott), a soft-spoken pediatrician. Their marriage seems perfect until the birth of their daughter, Julia, a baby with genetic abnormalities. Mark, who can't face the idea of a less-than-perfect child, walks out, leaving Dianne to confront the challenges of being a single mom. As the years pass, Dianne and her mother, Hannah (Blair Brown), remain selflessly devoted to Julia. David introduces Dianne to a young girl (Alexa Vega) from a troubled home as a "mother's helper," and things begin to change. Julia gains a best friend and Dianne finds renewed strength and hope, but David must wait patiently for a chance to reveal his true feelings. In the process, Dianne learns that love is more than what you feel for someone - it's what you're willing to give of yourself.

More than 5 stars

This is a super romantic movie-Shows great love from a mom and real compassion from her brother in law. I also had this on VHS so I watch it over and over probably more than 20 times in 5 years. December 12, 2008

I like this movie--That's all that counts. But if I may say a few words of--suggestions, it could have some extra features that other DVD movies normally have. November 3, 2008

follow the stars home

this is on first view a film mostly for women,but, i sat through it with my partner and found my self wanting to see it to the end, its a very heart warming story that most parents will under stand, the dad finds out his child is going to be born disabled, he can't take it and leaves,mother brings up child on her own but with a very suporting mother of her own and the brother in law being a doctor she rides the ups and downs of bringing up a very diabled child and finds the love that only mother and child can have together. a very nice and some times tearfull film thats good for all to watch, give it a go, you might find that magic spark with in you.

A moving film about unconditional love

I just finished watching this movie - I cried all through it! I just had to write a review and give my 5 stars.

This movie was very moving and personal to me; we have a child who is disabled and I am so grateful that I married a man who can handle it.

This film shows various relationships portrayed in contrast to each other - fascinating study in human nature. The movie left me with a feeling of great love for my family and kind friends, an appreciation for what life gives each of us, and hope for those who need to make changes in their lives for the better. I would HIGHLY recommend this film to everyone - you don't have to have a special needs child to get something from this movie. It really makes you think about life and relationships. July 16, 2008
