 A little less than the original, but its good August 17, 2002
Anibeth (San Francisco, CA USA)
The continuation of the struggle of Kinmont is occassionally met with setbacks, and her insensitivity to other people as well as to her own. The dialogues tends to be off the mark, but the most heart warming scene is the extreme sensitivity of her new boyfriend who loves her unconditionally and who wants to help her inspite of her disability. The fault is not the actors who portayed the life of Kinmont with dignity, and those who surround her with their influence. Its hard to say how much I like the movie on the first part, but I love the part of love and how it is spoken from the heart. Rating for coarse language is not included in this review.
 Horrible Sequel May 29, 2002
I hated this, if you liked the first this is a complete waste of your time. It seems to have nofactual basis and the film makers ruined it.
 A Great "Feel Good" Movie May 9, 2002
I have seen both of the Other Side of the Mountain movies. But Part 2 touched me the most. Jill Kinmont is an inspiration and John Boothe is a hero. I feel the movie captured the immediate attraction and eventually love felt by Jill and John. What makes this a great love story is that it is a true love story. Marylin Hassett and Timothy Bottoms had tremendous chemistry (Marilyn and Timothy should have made more movies together) and I am sure made Jill and John Boothe proud with their performances. This is a great "date movie".
A wonderfully heartfelt movie August 8, 2001

I have seen both movies, of course "The Other Side of the Mountain" and this one. It's always heartbreaking to see a young life at the peak of a dream they have worked so hard for, come to such a disasterous end. Jill Kinmont was a great skier and slated for the olympics until she dived off a mountain leaving her paralyzed from the chest down. She is a very brave person and I have great admiration for all her courage and the way she fought her way back to doing something in life she loved. She had many tragedies in her life, with her boyfriend deserting her after the accident, and the boy she later loved getting killed in a plane accident, and the Father she adored dying. Thank goodness she had a wonderful Mother willing to care for her completely and she had her job cut out for her. She required a lot of care.Timothy Bottoms came on the scene and it was almost love at first sight for both of them. How many men in the world would want that kind of responsibility? Yet, he did! It would take someone very special and obviously he is. She was fortunate enough to have had two men love her like that. I thought this was a wonderful movie and knowing it is a true story makes it even more special. I will watch it over and over and recommend it highly to anyone.

Not liking this movie in no way reflects critically on the skier's life and misfortune; understand that first. That having been said, I have to tell you that I hated this movie and the Hallmarkesque treatment it gave this skier's tragic story. The filmmakers didn't care about Kinmont; they had both eyes on the audience, with plenty of Kleenex at the ready. I used to discuss one part of this movie in my college English classes as an example of how not to tell a story:SPOILER ALERT For those of you who saw it, remember when the phone call comes, informing the family of her lover's death? I swear, that call was followed by a slow pan across each family member's face as he or she cried, culminating in Marilyn Hassett bawling away for us. Am I right? How can a movie move anyone to tears when it's doing all the crying? This was the visual equivalent of purple prose, but, as you can see from the other posts here, purple prose sells, else it wouldn't exist.
