      Jo So refreshing. No perverts in this movie! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/04/22 Full Review Audience Member Home fires burning was such a great movie. It's a TV movie that came out back in 1989 and I enjoyed it. It's pretty decent for me. Bill Pullman played an excellent character. His character comes back home from the war and his family is happy to see him. Such a great story. Robert prosky was in it as well and he did a great job. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Jake Tibbetts has been at odds with his family and friends with his ill-tempered ways. The main rift is between Jake and his son, Henry. Unbeknownst to me this film is a Hallmark Hall of Fame film and as in most Hallmark films it has an issue that needs to be resolved. It's not one of the best Hallmark films but it definitely holds up to the standards of Hallmark. www.what-to-watch.com Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
