Two brothers - one virtuous, one feckless - are in love with the same woman. She falls for Brother Wrong, carrying a torch for him even after he deserts her. But Brother Right remains steadfast and available. What's unusual here is why the bad brother pulls his disappearing act. Mark walks out on wife Dianne after learning that the baby they're expecting has severe genetic abnormalities. Dianne is nonetheless determined to bear her child, with support from her mother and Mark's brother David, a pediatrician whose love for Dianne is unspoken but obvious. How do they cope with the challenges of raising this little girl named Julia?

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
LoveGod-2 My wife says that she likes deeply touching and tragic films--and I do also. This movie was just that. The theme wasn't superficial or unrealistic. Rather, it touches the heart for probably most viewers could imagine being in such a situation.Now, a few comments on the contents. First, the movie shows that true love is to be sacrificial. We sacrifice our own wants and wishes and expectations for the benefit of the beloved. This is just what the mother in the movie did. It is a lesson for us.Second, I found part of the movie to be unrealistic. The mother had the full support of her mother (who even quit her job for the disabled granddaughter). The mother didn't need to work for she stayed home all day with her handicapped child. They lived in a huge house by the beach. I doubt that this would describe more than 1% of mothers of such children.Third, this was a reminder that only God can give life--and only He has the right to take life. No mere mortal has the option of killing one's baby--whether probing or after birth.Fourth, since I believe in Biblical morality, I must object to the mother's remarriage. Scripture says that if one divorces her husband on grounds other than his unrepentant adultery, she herself enters an adulterous relationship. As kind, loving, and responsible as the doctor-brother was, there should have been no new marriage.All in all, we found the movie very touching and a reminder that life is not always pleasant, peaceful, and plenteous. No, tragedy does come and we need to trust God in the most trying of circumstances. I'm glad for the mother's choice to keep her sweet little baby.
babybearlooking4you I, loved the movie Follow the stars home!! I, give it 10 star's I, thought it was really great!! I, wish I, had it on DVD. Please Hallmark show it again. The movie staring Alex Vaga, is great she's a wonderful actress and she's so good in this movie and all thee other actors and actress in this movie and just as great as her. I, used to work in a daycare center that is designed for school aged children fro Preschool to 12 grade who are disabled and I, really had a great time and really understood them. I, watched this movie and came away with some much more then I, already had. I, really enjoyed this movie allot. Thank you for sharing this wonderful and beautiful movie with us all.
Ebonyfire While on the surface this seems like a 'girl marries wrong guy' movie, it truly is so much more. The storyline moves a bit too fast, so you must pay attention...very close attention.After Dianne and Mark find out their baby will be born with genetic disorders, Mark wants to abort the pregnancy; Dianne refuses - Mark takes off. Evidently Mark has unresolved issues about his mother's death in a hospital - but the movie gives very few details or background, so Mark doesn't generate any sympathy from the viewer.If only he were more like his brother, David (the excellent Campbell Scott) - the soft-spoken, long-suffering doctor who keeps his love for Dianne to himself while helping her to take care of his niece.The supporting cast is very good, especially Alexa Vega. The ending is a real tear-jerker (get the tissues ready), and my favorite part of the movie.Some people don't care for these simple movies about triumphing over adversity, but I think it's wonderful - and you will too.
