Plot:
Transcending the dimension of time, a love letter found in a secret compartment of an antique desk magically seals the fate of two young people linked by destiny yet separated by more than one hundred years. When Scotty () discovers a poignant letter written by a mysterious woman called Lizzie (), he cannot get her out of his mind. Putting thoughts of his upcoming wedding aside, he is compelled to write Lizzie a letter of his own. A romantic correspondence ensues and flourishes into a love so powerful, not even a century and a half of time can keep them apart. Spanning an era from the Civil War to the present day, the perils of Lizzie's war torn present threaten her safe passage into the future. Would their love be strong enough to endure the test of time?

The premise is similar to "Il Mare" and "The Lake House". A couple writes letters to each other across time. Except that here there is over 100 years between them instead of just two. This was about the third time that I have watched this movie since I bought it eight years ago. It is nothing special but I enjoy it.
Estelle Parsons, who played Roseanne's mother on Roseanne, appears as the main character's mother.

This one arrived in the mail today... figured I will go ahead and check it out. I had a bit of a problem getting drawn into this film. I definitely seen better. I mean I found it entertaining to a point. I was easily able to get through it till the end. I even checked out some of the extras on the disc. But in the end I found the film to be average at best.
