This is another one of those heartwarming mush films that CBS gets a kick out of showing on Sunday nights. It's an enjoyable family film, with some amusing moments and good performances... especially that little girl! Wow, what an actress! She was more natural and believable than both of her older siblings. If she keeps it up, she could be the next Meryl Streep.
Valerie Bertinelli, although far less annoying here than her character on "Touched by an Angel," is a bit odd, with wild mood swings and unpredictable reactions to things. I didn't like her too much, but that's the only complaint I can think of. On the whole, it's an entertaining feel-good film for all ages.

Plot summary
In Alaska, Susannah and Jesse Stanton divorced two years ago. They have a young son Sam and two daughters, teenage Bridget and younger Hannah. Jesse lives in an isolated ranch where he receives guests for fishing and tracking, and he depends on his plane to go to the city of Anchorage, where Susannah has a restaurant. They separated because Susannah felt bored and lonely on the ranch. Susannah is dating a lawyer, and their children decide to find a woman for Jesse, sending a letter to a popular magazine called 'Alaskan Love.' He receives a large number of replies, but the children later feel that his perfect match is probably Susannah, and they try to arrange a plan to bring them together.

Enjoyable TV movie
epic romcom fail
From the opening scenery anyone that has lived in alaska could tell it wasn't filmed there and it was also way too obvious that the city was NOT anchorge. ... where the float planes allegedly fly out of anhorage isn't even close to resembling lake hood.either ... even after suspending belief of all those inaccuracies, the story lacks realism ... there are plenty of available women living in the anchorage area so there is little need to advertise for them in a nationwide publication ... this film was more of a fairytale then a romantic comedy .. it angered me about the stupidity.
Delightful and Heart Warming
"Personally Yours" was inspired by actual events and it is obvious by the natural and realistic emotions that are embedded throughout the entire movie. Three children of divorced parents strive to overcome obstacles and get their stubborn parents back together. The plot is perfectly balanced between the story-lines of the children and parents, allowing both adults and children to enjoy this production. The cast and crew all did a wonderful job bringing this delightful story to life.
I hope that CBS plays "Personally Yours" again at some point. I know I will look forward to seeing it and I can't recommend it enough to those who missed it the first time!
