Editorial Review:
Set two years after the events in Sarah, Plain and Tall, a series of challenges test the resilience of the Witting family's bond. With a drought and the possibility of fire looming over the Kansas farm, Sarah (Glenn Close) leads a pilgrimage East to her old stomping grounds in Maine. The change of scene and an unexpected separation put a strain on everyone, including husband Jacob (Christopher Walken), but in the end the film imparts the same sense of nostalgic reassurance viewers embraced in the first film. First aired on CBS in 1993, this isn't quite the fresh experience of Sarah, Plain and Tall, and director Joseph Sargent doesn't have the same delicate touch as Glenn Jordan. But fans of the earlier work and/or the Patricia MacLachlan novel that inspired this series will love it all the same. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - I dream about rain....
Skylark makes a promise to the viewer and then fulfills it. Sarah is a mail-order bride from Maine and this is the sequel to "Sarah, Plain and Tall." In the first movie, Sarah and Jacob write letters, fall in love and then marry. They are now even more in love and are committed to making their way on the dusty Kansas prairie.
Water is so essential to life and the scenes of the Maine coastline contrast with the dusty land in Kansas. Both the land and the sea can call your heart, but only one owns ... Read More
Rating:  - Good, but a more depressing than the first one
I liked this movie almost as much as the first in the series, but it was more depressing. Still, it has a happy ending, and is a good family film.
